2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    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!

    [–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 56 points 11 months ago (4 children)

    I'm not gay but I certainly talk about femboys a lot more than I used to.

    i like how i legitimately cannot tell if im in 196 or linuxmemes most times :3

    [–] rtxn@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (3 children)

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

    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

    [–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    Yeah so there are still young nerds, they're just all trans women now.

    [–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 45 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Isn't trans a sort of open source tinkering with the biological systems you own?

    [–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 37 points 11 months ago

    Runtime patching if you will

    [–] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.de 20 points 11 months ago

    That’s actually fitting, because linux is all about choice, freedom and individuality. I like it.

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

    The people who are into this were always there amongst the nerds. They just never spoke up out of fear and social ostracism.

    Furrys are not a new "Internet" thing, the fandom has been active since like, the 70s when it branched off other fantasy fandoms. It was all started by a small group of people going to scifi cons.

    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?

    [–] savvywolf@pawb.social 33 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

    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.

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 31 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (5 children)

    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.

    Why do so many people feel bothered about this?

    I compare the reaction to that Seinfeld episode where George gets a massage from a male therapist and then spends the rest of the ep flipping out cuz he got a mild chub from it. People who freak out don't like that it made them horny-adjacent

    I'm a Linux user and trans but I'm not a furry.

    [–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 42 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    I am only a Linux user. I don't feel trans, nor am I a furry. Could you become a furry for me to average me out? Thanks!

    [–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 51 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    Gods damnit ... I'm a furry now. Thanks Obama.

    [–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 11 months ago

    Thanks that you take one for the team. If we ever meet, I owe you a sandwich.

    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

    Famously Gay Creature:

    Oh hey, you like Linux?

    Some people here:

    Stay back foul incubus! My faith in my heterosexuality shall protect me from your wily charms! Stand down, beast, for I invoke the word of cringe!

    I like using Linux as much as I like using subs

    [–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Now I would like to know how many Linux users are Doms and how many are subs. I mean a lot of Linux user like the control over the system.

    I will use your meatballs, rest assured

    [–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 22 points 11 months ago (25 children)

    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.

    [–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (4 children)

    Maybe your wife likes feminine men and you just never realized you were one who knows. Maybe it's just a meme. Maybe we should all sudo rm -fr /* --no-preserve-root to remove all traces of French from our root

    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.

    Furry linux users thinking people will also like furry if they put linux in it.

    [–] Agent641@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

    The venn diagram of linux admins and furries is troublingly circular
