      I asked you about "intersex culture". You assured me it existed. But you don't know what it is. Except you're now saying that cake is a key feature. of "Asexual cultures", which I can only assume you are lumping "intersex culture" in with. Cake. Lovely.

      Ivan, "This is X culture" ("This is trans culture", "This is lesbian culture", "This is ADHD culture") is an Internet meme wherein the poster names a highly specific and personal experience that is nonetheless frequently relatable and declares it to be the "culture" of a group

      E.g. "Looking all over your apartment for your glasses only to find them precariously balanced on top of the roll of toilet paper itself balanced on top of the toilet paper holder where you've been meaning to hang it up properly for a week. This is ADHD culture"

      This meme, like many uses of irony/hyperbole, is then often turned around and itself used double-ironically to mock or critique someone perceived to be engaging in negative, selfish behaviors using the group they belong to as a shield

      E.g. "No, Claire, making your fifth burner account after getting banned on Twitter for harassment is not intersex culture"

      In this case, it is doubly appropriate because Claire ACTUALLY DID make an "intersex culture" argument, saying that it is a universal intersex experience to have had a lifetime of medical tests and procedures and MOREOVER to be happy and grateful for such interventions

      She took it to the point of arguing that if someone portrays invasive testing as a generally negative thing to be avoided, that person has proven they are not intersex and has never spoken to anyone who is intersex, and is a menace to the welfare of real intersex people

      Hence her making herself a ripe target for sarcastic mockery over the concept of "Intersex Culture" You will note the capital letters, which may earnestly be used to lend weight or importance to a concept by a few people but are far more commonly used sarcastically/ironically

      The use of stock meme formats to ironically praise something one is actually critiquing or attacking is, admittedly, a difficult concept for newcomers to grasp, but I hope this brief primer leaves you better prepared for online communication in the future

      (Helpfully explaining something at length in a tone of veiled condescension in order to publicly mock them for their ignorance is millennial culture)
