Elements speak for themselves, as well as that the simplified Chinese is now (华)「transformed screwing」for this glyph. Be sure to see all the other glyphs with two「person」elements piled on top of one another (肉, 肏, 俎, 㫺, 睂) as「gay meat in piles」and the various connotations: OSTENTATIOUS and GAY sounds quite happy. Must be referring to the ruling classes, royals, and the emperors. No one ever suddenly becomes depraved, and peasants scraping a living from dirt farming did not regularly experience splendor, gaiety, or ostentatiousness while they sold their daughters as sex slaves in order to survive.
Seems as if the elite worldwide in any age and regardless of political ideology eventually decay into one big clusterfuck, not unlike the upper classes of ancient Egypt, Greece, Carthage, Rome, or today North Korea, and some other places with a similar class structure supporting hereditary or granted titles, royal birthrights, and nepotism. People do not suddenly become depraved: these glyphs are not exclusively any sort of reference to homosexuality or its related behavior, but instead to a profligate lifestyle of excess, overindulgence of any sort and so on, additionally as pedophiles, zoophiles, maintaining harems, selling sex slaves, drunkenness, 'drug' use…partying and schtupping (ejaculation into a birth canal or other attainable orifice) concubines or whatever while toking opium each day rather than performing some useful work or function.
Note that this behavior is not unique to human beings. Many species of animals maintain harems and only eat, copulate, and battle others wanting to assume the dominant male or female alpha position. Individuals of a wide range of species in lower social order positions behave the same as the former alphas as soon as the opportunities and conditions warrant. That is the natural order of life on Earth. That is what defines an animal. That is what is encoded into DNA for survival and to propagate the species. Being human is supposed to be about learning a better way and to rise above it all, or else drown in our own shit, again, rather than stepping on anything and everyone else just so that we ourselves can take it easy and get laid and high and eat caviar all the time. But honestly, who wouldn't have changed places with a Chinese emperor for the remainder of one's natural life, given that imaginary chance?
