IDK about that. Everyone I know who uses Linux is pretty vanilla. Or maybe my perspective has just shifted...
Is this homophobic? I get this is some kind of absurd joke about linux making someone gay. Or about the absurdity that anything could make you gay. But it still works on both levels and perpetuates the idea of it being a choice, or infection or symptom, and also that femboys are somehow ridiculous.
Or maybe I just don't get the joke?
Being a femboy doesn't mean you have to be gay. Being a femboy means that you like to express yourself as a feminine. This means that you may wear clothes associated with females, use makeup or wear jewellery.
This joke may originate from 4chan's /g/ board. There's a lot of very talented people on there that cross dress or are trans. I can confirm they are NEETs, though.
I don't think it's meant to be like that. In fact I don't think it's that deep.
I think for the cases where the meme actually holds true it's a mixture between "hey I like this thing I didn't know before (linux), what else may I like?", being more likely to inform themselves about topics and probably also a community that is becoming more welcoming with the memes that eventually people try to explore themselves and figure out that they were something they didn't know they were.
If that makes any sense. They could also be unrelated and it simply happens to be that a lot of needs are also queer
My path was uh, tinkering with linux, then working for MSFT as a contractor, then one of the contractors spiking my drink with LSD at an interview leading me to more or less downward spiral for a while, then getting back on my feet, working more in the tech industry knowing how garbage MSFT but being forced to use it, then trying to explain to coworkers and bosses that actually we could fairly smoothly transition to linux and other FOSS software and actually save millions of dollars in a 5 year or less period and more going forward, while also vastly improving our internal security, then losing those jobs.
So uh. I never arrived at femboy. Being a homeless femboy in Seattle would have meant Id have been raped to death in a fentanyl fueled traphouse or homeless encampment.
I sort of dress like Josh Homme, partly for practical reasons, partly because i had to use a lot of stereotypically masculine bravado to intimidate and negotiate with people.
Most people on the street are extremely, literally murderously homophobic and transphobic. If they sense femininity in a male, thats a sign of weakness and theyll either immediately start shit or instantly be convinced that you will be easy to fuck with in the future.
Uh any way hi, hello, very normal uh, linux user person here just mm... mhm.
All that being said, leggings /do just actually feel quite nice/ and are quite practically useful to keep a bit more comfortable and a bit more warm when youre stuck outside in the winter, but youre probably gonna want to wear some kind of sturdier, scratch, cut, impact resistant pants over top of em.
Pure denim or like 90% denim with 10% somekind of other more flexible, breathable fiber works well in my experience.
Perhaps Johnny Silverhand would be a more apropo fashion analog than Josh Homme.
Although he seems to use BlackArch if you go by the menus in CyberPunk 2077, and ive always found i could do all that kind of stufd comfortably in debian.

Sorry to hear about the assault. And the financial struggle.
Coupon for one good vibe coming in!
I have to admit, I have questions about the impact of spending too much time deep inside machine logic territory.
It definitely makes it harder to understand humans ime.

FTFY
It's because we want all the dress and trappings but still want to keep our packages. Logical conclusion honestly /s

On the other side learning Linux takes so long that by the time you get it you're in your 60's, which prevents becoming a femboy.
Hint: :q!
