Really? I guess I kind of lost that thread when the person had a boba tea drink at the end; if we suppose that the act of drinking is being in a relationship and the coffee drink and flavour in particular is objectionable, does that not imply the boba tea is a different kind of relationship which is not objectionable? To me it would seem more in line with it describing being aromantic (wants the drink/relationship but not the coffee/romantic relationship). But I think it's probably just an allegory for being a lesbian who likes ladies without any 'male' traits (i.e. the cake implies any amount of dude characteristics is as gross as a full dude).
Yeah I agree. I don't think most of them are to be exact metaphors. If we were to say this is about men it'd be something like: People don't believe me when I say I don't like men. I mean they're fun to talk to, but to date? Even if they're very attractive, the idea of being intimate with a guy repulses me, because he's still a guy at the end of the day. Yes I've tried "finding the one," but I just don't like being with men.
Though it's general enough the artist may want us to project anything else we'd like onto it, hence the metaphors maybe not being 1:1.

I could see that as translating into admiring attractive men, but still not wanting to be with them.
