What does this meme mean?

I am Adam, Prince of Eternia.

Steve became the mighty BattleCat!

"First came Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve", it was saying that the separate sexes were specifically created first for procreation and a dig against homosexuals.

It doesn't work with gender as gender is apparently fluid, so both people could be anything they chose at any point in time.

It's trying to say that he man is outspoken on trans issues and equates being... Sceptical... About sex being irrelevant as the same as homophobia.

The other meaning is that the creator is virtue signalling but isn't very... Hasn't done it at all well. Let's say.

Looking again.

And noting this thing to say was I think not a huge thing here even in the 70s etc.
Have heard a lot to do with USA.
Why? USA WAY more religious totally different to here.

The meme seems to say that when God created the earth etc in 7 days and put 2 humans male female. Snake, cast out.
Eve punished for apple so pain danger in childbirth (FFS). (Oh and she's totally responsible for it, not anything to do with sweet talking snake, or Adam who bit the bloody thing...)

That Eve was a trans man who went by Steve.

The Bible was a book that was written, added to, over a long period of time, by men.

From the time of the birth of Jesus (generally considered 2000 years ago).
In massively patriarchal societies.

Even taking creation was however many years ago, rather than... Other more mainstream understanding..).

The claim that Eve was a transman is... Bizarre.

The implication that was a thing from the dawn of humanity is.. eh?

And what's he man got to do with it?

Spare no further thought.

Why did this one out of millions of memes catch your eye?

Just interested! Someone you know posted?
Just got on your tits?

We all spend too much time and headspace trying to get to grips with gender > sex. Given even the likes of stonewall write bizarre drivel on this topic.

The meme doesn't make sense.

Taken a random cartoon character and put something they think sounds clever over it.

Nothing more.

The Adam and Steve line was a staple of online arguments against same-sex marriage. Circa 1995-2005?

It fulfilled the same function as "trans rights are human rights" and "you don't think trans people exist"; that is, it informed you that your discussion partner had no interest in talking to you, and that they only wanted to chant slogans at you until you gave up.

Adam was He-mans 'civilian (if you will) name'

But gender ideology is homophobic, so the poster of the meme is even more ridiculous.

Definitely overthinking.

"It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" is a common simplistic retort to pro-LGB relationship comments, made usually by small minded and/or religious, conservative people. That's all.

This stupid meme is trying to make the point that Eve could be a transwoman. So even this apparent heterosexual relationship could actually be something that would upset someone with homophobic and transphobic feelings.

Someone felt super smug after defeating their imagined enemy with that zinger. Enough to make a meme out of it!

You are over thinking this OP

Homophobia: Adam should be with Eve and not with Steve.

Transphobia: Adam is with Eve who is a transwoman who before their transition was called Steve.

Aww bless. It’s a kid posting their

Grrr @ glitchy MN.

It was a homophobic trope from decades ago to say "Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve"*. The meme is to supposedly make the point that you can bring this trope into the present day where a hypothetical transphobic person could make the same comment. This is to imply that a present day person saying it's impossible to change sex is the same as an old school homophobe.

The He-Man thing is just window dressing to distract people from seeing that the message of the meme is pretty empty.

But surely a homophobe would just reply that Cain and Abel are proof that Eve is not a transwoman.

I'm an atheist so it's all bollocks to me but it's a pretty shit response to homophobia.

but why Adam and Eve are the names used is a mystery.

First man and women on earth. It takes a man and women to reproduce. This is why its a stupid meme...even if Steve is now Eve there will be no reproduction.

Why post something if they don't understand it?

Whoever says the Adam and Steve line would now be classed as a transphobe given the rest of the meme, not a homophobe (as it was used in the past). So the whole meme doesn't make sense.
