congratulations, you discovered the flaw in an extremely serious statement made on the internet which is in no way a meme meant almost entirely to agitate propagandized libs
A whole bunch of people also said that Stalin 100% deserves criticism for failing queer folks.
The main reason why people rush to make a genuine defense of him - despite Hexbear’s overwhelming support for LGBTQ+ folks - is because the default stance of the propagandized West is that Stalin is effectively synonymous with Hitler, and undermining that attitude is a crucial element of peeling back over a century of anti-communist propaganda.

i dont think framing him as a purely good person is an effective way to undermine propaganda, especially when i see some hexbears convinced that stalin actually did no wrong, or that his anti LGBTQ policies are just liberal lies
at that point it seems like the memes meant to undermine western propaganda are actually just propagandising folks in a different direction, instead of making them less susceptible to said propaganda

enjoy this portrait I drew of you as an award:
i didnt figure it was until folks actually defended it seemingly completely genuinely
you can tell because “its true, generally good guy that made great strides for lgbtq folks” is actually also not an extremely serious statement
