People that feel mocked by this probably take their straightness/queerness too seriously. The joke is that the devs have no way to discriminate queer/straight users, something that is factually true for the game devs and aspirationally true for society.

No it's a wordplay on the pokerhand and the sexual orientation.
This is a feature, only idiots optimize for straights.
Yeah cant see this going any other way other than irritating players and leading to people inevitably, but incorrectly, placing the blame on lgbt folk
EDIT: fake, didn't realise, mb, seemed like something balatro dev would do for a joke.
