What the fuck is this meme, honestly? What's with all the femboy stuff? There's so many ordinary people using Linux. I don't get it. And there seems to be something against Arch Linux users in particular? I use Arch and have a wife and two kids. Am I not normal? Should I become a femboy, fellas?
First came programmer socks, then Rust was invented, and now (fe)men are taking matters into their own hands, correcting the gender gap in IT themselves. What's not to understand here?
Seriously tho, I don't think it's against anyone. It's just a meme, probably originating from a high share of queer people in the IT domain and the rising popularity of anime and manga culture, where femboys are sometimes idealised.
It's just a generational difference.
The Gen Xers get really confused because to them a stereotypical "computer nerd" is (was) a greasy 35 year old in his mom's basement which is covered in RMS posters who would unironically 741k l1k3 7h15.
To us zoomers a stereotypical "computer nerd" is a proudly neuroatypical GNC queer with a body pillow of their waifu.
Who said femboys cannot have wives?
I take it that's why Linux users become femboys, because they "can't get laid/are incels". Maybe I'm misunderstanding the premise of the meme.
Nah it's more about pointing out how groups of people that are into tech like linux, programming etc, seem to have a lot of lgbtq people. Anecdotally, I have seen a lot programming communities with an oddly large number of lgbtq people in them.
I see. Well, I don't appreciate that it seems like you need to be one to be a part of the community. I want all to be welcome.
Just because I use Arch doesn't mean I can't get laid. I mean.. I can't get laid. But not because I use Arch.
😆

Most real woman don't wanna marry a guy who fantasizes about being a weird little catboy.
But we do exist.
I don't believe you.
All women are real
But people generally don't marry "Most real women", just 1 is enough.
Yes, you're supposed to become a femboy.
😴
so tired of this shit as well
Agreed Lemmy is rife with this shit. So much femboi fucking manga anime or whatever they call it. Cool you do you but fuck off with involving everyone else in your kink. I'm just an old fat married dude with kids trying to learn stuff.
As long as we're careful here. People can be however they want to be. If you're saying people shouldn't be making memes that assume all people are like them, yes. If you're saying living how they want is "involving everyone else in your kink" we're getting into iffy territory.
Yes. I subscribe to Linux memes to get memes about Linux, not femboys. It's not relatable at all for me. Guess I'll rethink my subscription. Maybe I don't belong anymore.
**wearing dresses everyday 🤣
Very weird. Started with Slackware back in 97 or so. Still not a femboy and no desire to be one.
Maybe if I switched to arch?
Was enough for me to move to Manjaro, an Arch derivative, to become a femboy
Why, what happened?
His dick fell off.
I decided to leave the community. Not like it's an important place to be. ✌️
Against?
Yes you should become a femboy.
😴
Meh, why not?
Because I don't want to. And I don't want to be made like I want to, nor should.
Do you like genuinely think people are trying to turn you into a femboy? No one is doing that, it is just a joke. Be whatever you want, that's kind of the point.
I do not, no, I know they can't. I just don't like the attitude. If it's a joke, it's definitely weird considering the LGBTQ community is under constant pressure to conform to binary gender roles from the rest of society. But then here they're doing the same thing? Even as a joke? Especially if OP is not part of said community, but I assume they are.
I just don't think it's funny, because I know they don't enjoy it either. It's distasteful in my opinion, because the respect needs to be both ways.
So what you are saying is that you are still in the middle of the picture. Got it.
