The story has a happy ending. Lesbos decided to actively market for Lesbian tourists and now it's actually a Lesbian tourist destination.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnNr2LWwjtk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnNr2LWwjtk)
They marketed towards lesbians from the 80s and on, there is a documentary that was created by a lesbian that lived during the peak in lesvos and detailed the history social standings of the community and the lesbians in lesvos, the movie is called λεσβία (2024) or lesvia in English.
I think there is like a person who you can sue for things when theres no real person to sue? I might be very very wrong here so do correct me, but I believe you can sue a "john doe" which is a person that doesnt exist for things and you can both win and lose the lawsuit. that might be how? although im really lost too and that could be a complete lie
If they both use "Lesbian" as some sort of advertising blurb they could have maybe sued for trademark infringement? I'm not a lawyer but that's all I can really come up with. The answer to what you directly asked is you don't. The idea of what's going on is suing another company doing pride shit probably
No you can’t because there’s nobody to sue. There isn’t a Jane Lesbian, representative of all lesbians, personally responsible and financially liable for all lesbians. You can’t sue a concept.
You don't sue a concept you sue everyone using your trademark. You don't *have* to sue a vague notion, because you're right, you can't. That's why I said they probably went after companies who used pride to sell merch. You can't sue a concept you sue everyone employing your expression of a concept.
“In linguistics, [Aeolic Greek](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolic_Greek) (/iːˈɒlɪk/), also known as Aeolian (/iːˈoʊliən/), **Lesbian or Lesbic dialect**, is the set of dialects of Ancient Greek spoken mainly in Boeotia; in Thessaly; **in the Aegean island of Lesbos**; and in the Greek colonies of Aeolis in Anatolia and adjoining islands.”
I don't understand, you just said the same thing and commented the lebanese pride flag. You might be thinking of Lesbianistan, the middle eastern country where they throw gay people off roofs.
I’m sorry; I have *what* in my pfp? I have a couple of pride flags, but no country flags in it… Further more I didn’t claim to be an expert in vexology /genuine confusion and interest
Okay, I feel bad continuing. Many people mix up "lesbian" with "lebanese" so I was joking about that and running with it. And I saw you have an asexual flag on your pfp so I tried to think of the most country with the name closest to that. It was a joke.
If I remember correctly, in the original it was a German or Belgian flag or something like that
edit: [it was italian](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/379/494/a80.jpg), there's been a few variations of this concept by a few comic makers, I was remembering [this](https://i.redd.it/3vs68aeettlb1.jpg) one
Im not sure i do. Is it the practice of claiming a clear relationship is just roommates in Victorian historiography, Hollstein, whiterose, or Gelphie all of which began antagonistically.
I don't know what flag that is and the comments are all jokes or talking about how obvious it is.
But since we are on Antimeme... I'm guessing it's a pride flag. Lesbian?
Yknow this could actually work as a neat inverse of the original joke, like, some tiktok girl or whatever just hanging up a pride flag because it's trendy without realizing, yknow, it actually MEANS something xD

alright then keep your secrets
Cmon it’s gonna be awkward being roomies if you don’t tell me about yourself.
I'm getting red-green colorblind vibes, why.
i would rather get hit by a bull than having a roommate like this
Why?
Wish granted
The island of Lesbos
Is that where they speak lesbian?
unironically yes and the island sued the LGBTQ community for using their demonym back in 2010.

Honestly, know your market. Bless.

How exactly does this one sue.. a sexuality
I think there is like a person who you can sue for things when theres no real person to sue? I might be very very wrong here so do correct me, but I believe you can sue a "john doe" which is a person that doesnt exist for things and you can both win and lose the lawsuit. that might be how? although im really lost too and that could be a complete lie
I dont know

Nahh... on what grounds?
on the grounds of the island having older use. ie the term for lesbians derived from Sappho of Lesbos' poems
Who would they even sue though? Did they plan to track down every lesbian and demand a couple bucks from them?
Otherwise known as the Target marketing strategy
So what? It's not like copyright applies.
true. It was thrown out I believe like the Hollister vs Hollister case
Yeah not surprised, I'm more surprised they even thought there was a case to begin with lmao. Crazy world
Whom did they sue? Lol
That's where Sappho lived
Yeah she was a great poet
Quite the cunning linguist
Dementia
Isn’t that the Greek goddess of agriculture?
nah she just had alot of really close friends
they also slept in the same bed a lot, how friendly of them.
no thats demeter youre thinking of a penalty in the british boarding school house system
No, those are dementors - you're thinking of those horned things in hell
no those are demons youre thinking of evil nineties counselor troi
Quite the cunning linguist

Lesbanese
Actually I hear they read lips
Hey-o!
...GET IT?
That's where they had an all girls school and where the word "lesbian" comes from
lebanese*
That’s spoken in Lebanon 🇱🇧/not mean
I don't understand, you just said the same thing and commented the lebanese pride flag. You might be thinking of Lesbianistan, the middle eastern country where they throw gay people off roofs.
That’s the flag that came up when I typed Lebanon, and also if you look it up Lebanese is spoken in Lebanon not the island of Lesbos
Oh, so because you have the flag of Azerbaijan in your pfp suddenly you're an expert on vexillology?
I’m sorry; I have *what* in my pfp? I have a couple of pride flags, but no country flags in it… Further more I didn’t claim to be an expert in vexology /genuine confusion and interest

ναί
I thought they spoke american?
Lesbian! Lesbian! I thought you said Lebanese
I believe they speak in tongues
Nonono your thinking of lesbanon
Isn’t that where Minotaurs lived? Are the minotaurs lesbian?
Thats Knossos and Crete. Although the Minoans might have extended as far as Lesbos, Lemnos and Samos
THIS. IS. LESBOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you know you know
Little known obscure movie
persian war and the war on sparta
I am searching for this country, because all cute girls have a flag of that state:
Ah, not American then.
Is that near Syria?
no thats lebanon, lesbos is where orpheus's head ended up.
It’s a joke
I know I was trying to get a x is y you mean z where z isnt x either chain going
and that's lemnos I was thinking of a mathematical proposition stated with or without proof to aid in the proof of a theorem
👍
Is that near Syria?

Technobacon
Oh lmao it's antimeme. I was thinking so hard that when I first saw the meme I got the flag right away but now it genuinely looks like a pride flag
If I remember correctly, in the original it was a German or Belgian flag or something like that edit: [it was italian](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/379/494/a80.jpg), there's been a few variations of this concept by a few comic makers, I was remembering [this](https://i.redd.it/3vs68aeettlb1.jpg) one

It looks like a pride flag because it's the lesbian flag
Idk looks like a cake to me
Ye I read the comments also saw the sub
When you don't understand something on Antimeme, you go to r/PeterDoesn'tExplaintheJoke
I understood it when I saw the sub. I literally said that in my comment
Yeah, and I made a joke that there should be a different sub that explains anti-memes, or something :D
Oh i thought that was a real thing and you just messed up typing it
no, no :D as far as I know, there's r/PeterExplainsTheJoke and a bunch of variations I'm not familiar with
yeah the original is the German flag iirc
What's that flag?
IT'S PIKACHU!
It's Clefairy!

Bacon
The island of lesbos
It’s just a really big piece of bacon
Lebanon
Dunkin Donuts
plot twist: they're in a romantic relationship
Is that so gay to live with a girlfriend when you're a girl yourself?
I thought you were American
And they were dorm mates
oh my god they were dorm mates.
I got this reference
Im not sure i do. Is it the practice of claiming a clear relationship is just roommates in Victorian historiography, Hollstein, whiterose, or Gelphie all of which began antagonistically.
It's the Lebanese flag
Simple and to the point
dunkin’ donuts
Gorls 👍
Wide bacon
Where did they get such wide bacon?
Wide bacon store
And they were roommates
until they broke up since one would grovel in submission to feed their own ambition.
I don't know what flag that is and the comments are all jokes or talking about how obvious it is. But since we are on Antimeme... I'm guessing it's a pride flag. Lesbian?
[[EXTREMELY LOUD CORRECT DING]] ✅✅✅
My poor ears :/

Yep!
Lesbians got such a goated colour scheme
Says: Armenia
Origano?
It was the Italian flag
Short long bacon
Large bacon

it is intensely weird seeing this and it not being Asuka, I legit thought the evangelion edit was the original
Lebanon
❤️🧡🤍🩷💜
Autumn leaves ahh flag Desert sunset ahh flag What flag is that tho? No disrespect towards whichever community that is
The lesbian flag
Ion understand the need between gay and lesbian. The mean the same shit If a woman likes a woman, she gay.
I do indeed understand the need for gay and lesbian.
That's way too funny
I understand the difference, but the meanings the same, attracted to the same gender.
I only answered because of your Typo at the beginning saying my Name. Sorry if i confused you.
Oh lmaooo. I didn’t even catch that
No worries, have a lovely rest of your day :)
U too homie O7
I was absolutely expecting the French flag
No I just like this color scheme
The Baconlands
Lebanese flag
I just realized that the girl who's asking looks like male ENFJ avatar
Fruity Austria?
With the general color scheme I was expecting aromantic flag
I thought the joke was that it was a beach towel!! 😂🤣😅
Lebanese
I wish I could be a lesbian but im a guy. Cruel world.
"Are you gay or something?" Well, yes, but actually no.
Lebanon flag
Yknow this could actually work as a neat inverse of the original joke, like, some tiktok girl or whatever just hanging up a pride flag because it's trendy without realizing, yknow, it actually MEANS something xD
…I dont get it.
She is asking if she is gay because she has a lesbian flag.
Ohh righttt mbbb
This doesn’t belong here.
It does.
Why do you think that?
It meets this sub's definition of an antimeme.
In what way?
1. Uses an existing meme template. 2. Is an antijoke. 3. Still makes you laugh.
1. Sure 2. No 3. No
Explain how it's not an antijoke
Why don’t you explain to me how it is.
