What does it mean when someone says "the elephant in the room"?

>>The expression " elephant in the room " (usually " the elephant in the room ") or " the elephant in the living room " is a metaphorical idiom in English for an important or enormous topic, question, or controversial issue that is obvious or that everyone knows about but no one mentions or wants to discuss because it makes at least some of them uncomfortable or is personally, socially, or politically embarrassing, controversial, inflammatory, or dangerous.

It takes more effort to post the question here than it does to type the phrase into a search bar. You're seeking attention, not answers. Your infantile need for validation is the real elephant in the room.

It's an obvious problem no one wants to address.

The elephant in the room is that several days ago, you told me to shut my mouth unless I was sucking your dick.
On an open forum.
In front of all our moviechat comrades.
And you think that's ok.

Your behavior is the elephant in the room.
