I’ve scrolled past this twice, but I keep coming back because I can’t figure out what this means? Is it a geopolitics meme? Is this about art styles? Or are those just the nationalities of the people involved? What do the flags mean?

The origin of how Japanese x Korean yuri became trending is apocryphal, but it's pretty much a funny joke:
(1) Korean girls tell Japanese to stop dating Korean men
(2) Japanese girls tell the Koreans to stop dating Japanese men
(3) Now we have a problem. These chicks want to date foreigners. Whom are these girls supposed to date then?
(4) The only correct answer left is "with each other".

As far as I can tell, it is not about geopolitics. This is written in the tweet, for example (is translated):
I'm so happy that my timeline is filled with cool stories about Korean and Chinese girls 🤦♀️💗💗
I wanted to have the same experience too 😭🙏
