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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This thread insanely funny to me. I wear a dress every day as a man. Don’t even own pants. Not to be a femboi but because it’s comfortable as fuck. Yet here we are. I don’t give a fuck who or what you are into but pushing it and projecting it onto me is not cool from anyone.
One festiaval I got dressed up as a goth girl for a competition. From that day I truly beleive that skirts are more confortable. Its quite a breez when in the summer heat, the kind wind tickles my jewels ;)
Once I left this conservative shithole I call home, I’ll invest in some Kilt.
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.
Yes, yes yes! The world needs more femboy dads. That said this happened the other way around for me. Just goes to show how much overlap there is among fringe internet cultures- I really wish we could all play nice more often.
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.

It’s just a generational difference.

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.

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.
But people generally don’t marry “Most real women”, just 1 is enough.
I don’t believe you.
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.
Yes, you’re supposed to become a femboy.
😴
So what you are saying is that you are still in the middle of the picture. Got it.

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 with you

Lol. Easy dude.

Well, the OP and at least 600+ people can relate. So clearly something is wrong with you!
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.
