    okay wow I thought this was some weird gross exaggeration or something, still the meme itself makes me uncomfortable in a lot of ways.

      It does have homophobic vibes like it's otherizing the man. Probably because the meme originates from 4chan. While the guy deserves scorn for pivoting to racism, he also deserves sympathy for the powerful and unnecessary shame he felt. It's similar to the occasions when women make false rape accusations because they're afraid of being slut-shamed by their religious family members (because society is scared of women with agency and a libido). It's another sad consequence of patriarchy.
