A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Clive Barker says that the story is him working out his feelings about discovering he’s gay, and his experiences at BDSM nightclubs
Sounds likely. I don't have any reason to doubt him. I'm aware of the themes in Hellraiser. Seen the movies, read the book. (The first one, anyway.) It's pretty obvious. It's not subtle. The whole "person seeks out extremes of sensation and winds up with much more than they bargained for" is a recurring trope.
That doesn't change the fact that the bad guys are dressed kinky, and no, they don't use safe words. It's supposed to freak you out. In fact, I would even say that Hellraiser is one of the worst in that regard.
