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?

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago

Who said femboys cannot have wives?

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

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.

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?

Maybe for you youngsters. We old farts only get to grow a beard and get fat.

I feel like a lot of young linux users aren't getting the talk and it makes med sad. Nobody ever sat them down with a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and explained the life cycle of an IT professional. They never learn the natural cycle of things: that at a certain age a lot of IT professionals undergo metamorphosis and transform into beautiful, sock-and-sandal wearing greybeards.

That's due to oppression by the State and society that doesn't want to allow our respected graybeards to become the femboy they deserve to be. We nust destroy this oppressive system for the freedom of the greybeards, the gamers, the Gentoo users and all other oppressed peoples ✊🏻

There are exactly two kinds of folks in IT, soon to be or fully out anime queer folks and furries, and 60 something industry gurus who all always wear polo shirts and live in an upper middle class house despite apparently being rich as sin, also they are so hard for home security measures their backup security footage server in Montana has its own backup in a bugout bunker in New Zealand.

I was neither so I ended up being a number cruncher for a solar company instead.

When a linux user is born, a random path is chosen. They will either become a hot femboy, a bald polo shirt guy or a domestic terrorist.

So anyway there's a feee blahaj over there.

[-] bier@feddit.nl 14 points 2 years ago

This is just the lastest thing, it used to be the old IT guys and the ones with a beard, long hair and a metal shirt.

To me it was Furry -> Punk -> Tech Geek -> Privacy Geek -> installing linux

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

For me it went

C64 Crack Intros -> Synth -> Rave -> Ambient -> Linux -> Drugs and alcohol

Research on the Linux→Femboy pipeline is still pending but undeniable evidence for Network engineer→Furry has been presented.

I have to disagree, I did not turn into a femboy

[-] brey1013@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago
[-] miss_brainfarts 39 points 2 years ago

No no, I went straight to being a girl

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 18 points 2 years ago

By my rough estimation of all Arch users 50% are trans, 50% are femboys and 50% are furries.
