Well, I looked up the internet to find out more information, and it is true.
"sit on it" is offensive because in this particular context, the "it" refers to the thumb, and it is like asking someone to sit on your thumb. In other words , to the Eastern Mediterranean people, you are saying you want to stick your thumb into their butt / ass

When we say something is graphic it means it makes people visualize a clear image, which in this case the image is "sit on it".
Basically, it is saying that when you show a "thumbs up" to the Eastern Mediterranean people you are giving them a insult which brings the meaning of a very rude/immoral action that they can picture in their minds.

It is like saying "i want to do this to you" or "come here and let's do this"
and the "this" refers to something rude, immoral and insulting.

What does “ sit on it “ mean? Isn’t it same as “to sit down on something like a chair”?
I don’t know why “to sit down” means something very rude.

If someone says “let’s just sit on it” in a business setting it actually means to wait and think about it a little more. But reading the context that you have in your picture the response previously given i would agree with. Just want to be sure you understand that you may hear this term “let’s sit on it” in other settings and it doesn’t mean anything rude.

@farrlx01 Thanks for the additional info! I agree that "sit on it" is rude only in this specific context because it is associated to the thumbs up gesture.
