In late 2017, I made a horrible shirt. If you'd like to own it, you can find it here.
You can read about my sins on Buzzfeed, Kotaku, or Mashable.
The Shirt's conception came from all the times I looked up something Metal Gear related and ended up finding threads that devolved into bickering over a character’s sexuality instead of the game. I started saving the worst just because they made me laugh.

There's only so far one can reach to explain why a man would grab another man’s balls.
At some point I had collected so many screencaps that I told my friends jokingly, “I could make a shirt just about Metal Gear Solid sexuality discourse”. Then I realized there was nothing stopping me.
Miraculously, a number of other people thought it was as funny as I did. After people asking me where to buy it, I ended up putting it on ArtsCow, who also acknowledged the phenomenon.
it ended up receiving very interesting responses.
Overall, I’ve gotten a lot of positive comments from other people in the LGBTQ+ community with similar feelings. On the other hand, the shirt has also generated enough debate that I could, in theory, make another one.
