      THE SHARKS HAVE ALL THE TRANS COLORS IN THEM, SO THEY ARE LIKE A VERY FLUFFY FLAG. ALSO, THEY ARE AWESOME SIDE SLEEPER PILLOWS

      IT JUST KIND OF HAPPENED. THE MEME USED TO BE PHOTOS OF THE SHARKS DOING HUMAN STUFF… THEN PEOPLE STARTED TALKING AND REALIZING HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO OWNED THE SHARKS WERE QUEER AND JOKES BEGAN CIRCULATING HOW BLAJ WAS A SECRET QUEER ICON.

      WHICH IN TURN MADE THE SHARK A SEMI SECRET TRANS ICON.
