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 9 months ago

Who said femboys cannot have wives?

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months 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.

Yes, you're supposed to become a femboy.

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.

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 30 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] Perhapsjustsniffit@lemmy.ca 18 points 9 months ago

I'll be careful. Keep your kinks where they belong. No matter who the fuck you are. Stop forcing them on communities they do not belong.

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 28 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Again, sure, but dressing with a feminine aesthetic is not a kink any more than being goth is a kink. People don't have to abide by your gender norms.

[-] Perhapsjustsniffit@lemmy.ca 14 points 9 months ago

Whatever man. They can gender all they want it has nothing to do with it. Sorry I used the wrong words to justify my distain. I could give a fuck how you or anyone else lives their life. I'm not anti anything but greed, genocide and pushing personal ideals like this onto others without warrant. If it was a "Christian" pushing it would be the same response.

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.

[-] oatscoop@midwest.social 23 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago

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 9 months 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.

I just hated that Windows had become a privacy cesspit and I wasn’t afraid of breaking things in Linux. Also, I accept that sometimes you just have to format and reinstall your sins of stupidity away.

PS - You Lemmy bastards did get me into Star Trek though. Maybe it has begun…

Don't visit any sex shops.

Command line stupidity, not Bad Dragon stupidity.

It really isn't though. This is a pretty weak stereotype. I have so many friends that are counter examples. Hey it's okay to make a meme if you want to have fun but if that's how you feel then your friend group is small.

[-] zloubida@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago

Memes aren't about truth; memes are about social preconceptions.

[-] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

What if those friends are all femboys but they're too put off by your defensiveness about it to invite you to the femboy ~~orgies~~ LAN parties?

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

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

For me it went

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

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

[-] brey1013@lemmy.world 38 points 9 months ago
[-] miss_brainfarts 39 points 9 months ago

No no, I went straight to being a girl

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 18 points 9 months ago

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

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

Sometimes I wish. In the end it's neckbeard all the way up.

[-] MonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.com 15 points 9 months ago

Wow I can't tell you about the history of Unix without talking about brave queer people.

So haha but not really.
