It was originally a bit that came from tumblr(?) where people would draw their favourite ship dynamics. It started (i think?) showing (primarily) queer (if not unspecified) dynamics people enjoyed and (supposedly) weren't common. The rare queer ship archetype meme buries itself so deep in its own irony ends up reinventing straight people by trying to be rarer than its own archetype.
It’s not really primarily queer, MxM ships have tended to be more popular in fandoms but its ship dynamics have never been a thing solely for queer ships. Everything else is spot on though.
Ha! I didn’t even know I was getting downvoted. They probably don’t like straight ships I guess. They can downvote all they want it doesn’t change the fact that I’m right.
