Yeah… this isn’t a meme, it’s literally children being sold.
As I recall it, the family were facing eviction, and the kids were indeed sold, including the one she was pregnant with. A couple of them ended up basically being slaves on a farm somewhere.
I’ll laugh at plenty of things I probably shouldn’t but this isn’t one of them.
My grandfather was sold into what amounted to slavery during this time period under similar circumstances. Many of these children were treated with incredible cruelty, then grew up and were shipped off to war. Mostly voluntarily, given that war was actually a quality of life improvement where they got perks like socks and food.
Ess Queue Ell. I didn’t hear the sequel pronunciation until I was well in my thirties and even then only by people older than me.

An acronym is a kind of initialism that can be pronounced like a word e.g. NASA. Your reasoning for why it can’t be pronounced as a word (“sequel”) depends on it not being an acronym. But, since many people do pronounce it that way, it is, in fact, an acronym and can be pronounced that way.
