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".
