Pansexuality memes often oscillate between genuine pride and a long-standing internet pun regarding the prefix 'pan.' While pansexuality refers to attraction to people regardless of their gender identity, internet culture has humorously misinterpreted the word to suggest a literal attraction to cookware. This led to a massive wave of memes depicting pansexual individuals feeling 'tempted' by frying pans or becoming overwhelmed in kitchen supply stores. Beyond the puns, these memes serve as a way for the LGBTQ+ community to reclaim their identity through humor, fostering visibility and lighthearted engagement on platforms like Tumblr, TikTok, and Reddit.
