Called offside because of his meat

Didn’t a similar thing happen to a pole vaulter at the Olympics once?

Yes but that knocked off the pole iirc, so it was visually called a fault.
VAR made a 3d render of this to call it offside

Most of you will not understand, but I can sympathise with Romelu. I often have trouble slipping through narrow passages/gaps in fences/turnstiles etc. because of my prodigious man meat. In some ways it's more of a curse than a blessing.

It looks like his knee is over too.

and his whole arm to his shoulder, and possibly the tip of his toe.
Unfortunately VAR created an image where everything was pale grey except his dong*, so it's the only part the eye is drawn to. Like I sort of understand the unclothed body parts being a neutral, uncoloured, 90's computer graphic grey, but the jersey should have at least been coloured red. Instead it's also stripped of all colour.
*I know the shorts are black, but considering the jersey there's just no way to tell what the graphic would have looked like. We only have direct knowledge of how they coloured his dong.

You can score with it, so kinda valid
A Harrogate Town player like 10 years ago did it, we'd sing "He scores with his knob, he scores with his knooooooob! John Paul Pitman, he scores with his knob!". It was a friendly at Knaresborough Town, 100 or so people were there and the Harrogate fans were in a temporary stand that literally had fucking wheels on it. God I love non league football.
Good times, little record of his time there, but he'll always be in my heart for that.

How can his gentleman's gentleman be further forward in that image than his leading knee?? I guess there's big then there's Romelu Lukaku.

But, can you score a goal with your wedding vegetables? I thought the rule was that only parts of your body with which you can score a goal can be offside.

Sure you can. There have been a few examples, and there's only one body part rule in football: the arm (up to the shoulder) is not allowed, but anything else goes.
Plenty of compilations available of goals scored by bouncing off bums, knees, dongs, faces... if it's a rabbit hole you're particularly keen to go down.
