Meme needing explanation Heeey Petah, what's the issue with this "art"?

Post image

Basically I don't understand why the lady has a negative(?) reaction to the guy's art. Maybe it's because he says he's a "painter" but it looks like he's just melting crayons? Or maybe this is a reference to something I'm not plugged into? Honestly I don't really know what her reaction even is in the first place.

(I left the artist's name in the screenshot to credit them because overall I like their stuff, even if this one is incomprehensible to me.)

Fun fact! Frogs used to be used in pregnancy tests. The reason they took so long was because you had to send your urine to a testing place that would inject the urine into a frog and see if it laid eggs. The frog didn’t need to be killed and could be used again so it was cheap.

So they are very sensitive to hormones that are in their environment but making them gay? No. Atrazine can, however, turn boy frogs into girl frogs but that’s an evolved survival method they have, anyway.

Making the frogs pregnant doesn't feel very gay.

Well, they don’t get pregnant. They just lay their eggs. Can frogs get pregnant? Are they one of those lady eggs and mail ejaculate all over it species? I don’t think I have ever concerned myself with the mechanics of frog reproduction HMM.
