Pedro Pascal plays a lot of single dads eg The Mandalorian, The Last of Us. He stands up for people (noticeably gung ho about trans rights) so he's become the Internet daddy see here

Objectively, he's also just a zaddy, which is how I read the meme.

Not on instagram are those spam requests?

Pedro has been rather public about his embrace and defense of trans and queer folks.

Many trans and queer folks are disowned or actively hated by their families.

So... the 'joke' is that Pedro gets all the Happy Father's Day messages instead... because he accepts them, when their actual dads don't.

This is immensely depressing, hence the cigarette.

...

I also don't use instagram, but enough stuff that happens on instagram filters through to media I do actually interact with that I can givd you this summary.

Weirdly wholesome really, it's about acknowledging your role models and thanking them for being there. Sure it's a bit parasocial but he's championing their causes so I can see why they'd want to express gratitude.

Those would be from anyone that you’re not friends with/following. So generally, they are spam
