    Just because I’m gay doesn’t mean I use Linux…no wait, Just because I use Linux doesn’t make me…well I am gay but…dammit!

    Why do so many people feel bothered about this? It’s not like the comunity is associated with a political party or something due to this. Also it’s a meme comunity and this is a meme, what did you expect?

      Eh. Furry is one of the few punching bags that people feel it’s safe to attack nowadays. I’ve seen some people say that that attitude just a modern expression of homophobia.

        I feel if you’re still making fun of furries at this point and not just ignoring them and moving on with your life, you need to pull yo ass out of 2005 and get new jokes. That Vanity Fair article was like almost 20-fucking years ago.

        Edit: I take that back after looking it up, it was OVER 20 fucking years ago.

    That’s how it all starts. First, you just find anthropomorphic characters “hot”. Next, you realize you were gay all along. Everything afterwards happens in a flash. Before you know it, you’ve picked a side in the systemd wars, you swear by ZFS, have memorized ESC :q! by heart and changed your 'sona into a FOSSa

    I like Linux. I am not gay, not trans, not furry, and I absolutely hate the shit out of anime/manga/anything in that shit art style. I have a wife and kids.

    Idk how to fit in; I’m immune to linux side effects somehow.

      Sounds like serious insecurity. A lot of these memes are more along the lines of queer folk finding an accepting community and having fun posting things that would normally result in cyber bullying.

      Also the boykisser thing has always just been a joke. Don’t take it as an insult or something.

        No it’s lack of delineation.

        I want linux memes about linux. Period. When I come to Lemmy I don’t want sports, I don’t want yiff, I don’t want anime, I don’t want social issues, I’m here for the linux.

        I’m glad people are finding a place, but I’m not sorry if internet snark is just too much to handle when it looks off topic.

    Nothing against this, it takes all sorts and stuff you know.

    But in my day Linux users were either smug greybeards or nerds with glasses thick like the undersides of bottles.

    But you do you, internet! Ä

      The Venn diagram showing the users of 196 and Linux is more or less a circle.
