Alphabet Mafia sounds like it could be a bit from Sesame Street where some wise guys teach you how to read.

I do like it because there is some reclaiming and also some jokes but know who else I’ve heard referred to as the Alphabet Mafia? The Law Enforcement agencies of the United States

Yeah, FBI/CIA/ATF/DEA and all the rest. Alphabet Mafia refers to the three letter agencies.

Yeah, good luck taking it from them. It’s already negative, so maybe just leave it to the government so I can properly criticize said agencies and leave LGBTQIA+ peeps alone.

Love it. If you don’t pay us the protection money then we break into your house, rearrange your furniture, and paint your walls in colors that do not clash with typical decor.
