I know this is just a meme, but in case anyone thinks it's real, it isn't. I can't find any mention in Sappho's poems about broccoli nor any articles on queer history of lesbians giving out broccoli at any point.

Remember: if it seems ridiculous or too good to be true, it probably is and deserves some research to confirm so you aren't spreading misinformation or more malicious disinformation.

There's also this blog post on it, but it alone also isn't a reputable source. I just can't find anyone else who actually dug into this and wrote about it.

Yeah it's definitely not true. The 52nd citation in this little "fact" sheet is a red flag too.

Suddenly the Broccoloid episode of The Powerpuff Girls reads as anti-LGBT propaganda

Tbf this is a fake-ass shitpost

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm a straight male and I've always hated broccoli. It's all suddenly making so much sense.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You're telling me you're not a Saphead?

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I haven't gotten my head stuck in a tree since I was a small child.

2024 is just around the corner, friend. Don't be afraid to set big goals for yourself.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I saw this was a reply over this meme and clicked through expecting you to be talking about how I'm a man and not a lesbian.

[–] ColonelSanders@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Oh nice! I'm bisexual AND I love broccoli! But... I'm not a woman tho-

Oh no.

I love that girl! Though I am not a lesbian.

Truly a shitpost. No, it's not the case. Who makes up these shitposts? Big Broccoli, I tell ya! I was curious, so I looked it up: https://baringtheaegis.blogspot.com/2020/02/no-sappho-didnt-give-broccoli-to-her.html

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Definitely a shitpost. Entirely made up by big broccoli.
