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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
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.
Lol. Easy dude.
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.
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 people generally don’t marry “Most real women”, just 1 is enough.
But we do exist.
Really the anime and chicks with dicks on this website. It’s enough to make one explode with sexual desire for a boy toy.
So what you are saying is that you are still in the middle of the picture. Got it.
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.
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.
IDK about that. Everyone I know who uses Linux is pretty vanilla. Or maybe my perspective has just shifted…

Also you can be a femboy and be straight.
Lunacy!! What will be next, gay men who dont dress flamboyantly? /s
LinuxArch UsersFTFY
Sometimes I wish. In the end it’s neckbeard all the way up.
Let’s be honest, there is no such thing as an old, fat femboy. There’s a specific unfortunate ED component to femboys.
Because the closest a Linux user could ever come to touching a female or anything feminine is becoming a femboy.
Only arch linux
I’ve been using Arch Linux for years. I’m gay but not a femboy. Explain
Ah one of the more resistant ones I see. In that case you need to try black arch.
I’m only sometimes a femboy, and I use Debian.
And the 35 or so odd well adjusted linux folks around that find anime, fishnets, thinkpads, (and all associated memes) to be annoying AF. Esp anime / manga / uwu /waifu / and everything in that microcosm of artistic styling if I’m being honest.
I just like the software composability discussion in plain English, man, not the side of fries.
Edit: And anyone who disagrees uses stock Ubuntu unity and unironically thinks it’s both beautiful and just as good as any other distro :P
Friendly reminder about the name of this community. None of this should be taken as anything but a joke.
Maybe it’s just copium cause his unix socks aren’t as soft as the ones of the Arch femboy next door. (/s)
I prefer the jokes to be entirely in the linux ecosystem is all.
I used to think those things were cool… 20 years ago.
Omg same. Now I think they’re even cooler.

What if those friends are all femboys but they’re too put off by your defensiveness about it to invite you to the femboy
orgiesLAN parties?Memes aren’t about truth; memes are about social preconceptions.
Wasn’t made aware of this phenomena until coming to Lemmy and browsing all.
no
Sounds like someone is in denial.
I think it was just a half-hearted Darth Vader “NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooououououououououuouuouuuuuaaaaraaaaaarrrhhgghh”
Research on the Linux→Femboy pipeline is still pending but undeniable evidence for Network engineer→Furry has been presented.
But I like dem titties. How I get dem titties if I’m a femboy.
Some girls like twinks/femboys.
Or youncould start taking estrogen and stuff till you have some
