Is it gay sex? Or are they cats? The internet sees both and has A LOT to say about them!

A photo of a group of cats has gone viral on the internet.

At first glance it looks like… well, six cute little cats in a row. However, hold it a little further away and squint and something else appears.

Yes, those appear to be AI-generated letters hiding among all that fur. They spell “gay sex.” 🤭

The internet was duly shaken.

At first I thought that a word was formed.

Today I learned that many straight people’s brains simply refuse to see the words “gay sex.”

Science has found a way to give us a look inside the conservative mind when it literally sees anything at all on the internet https://t.co/Sbxm9D364g
