willya, Wasn’t made aware of this phenomena until coming to Lemmy and browsing all.
vegantomato, Porn addict installing Linux
Becomes a femboy
Linux doesn’t make you a degen, watching porn does. Which OS you use is orthogonal to your porn habbits ;)
mlg, Linux Arch Users
FTFY
Randomgal, Also you can be a femboy and be straight.
occhionaut, Lunacy!! What will be next, gay men who dont dress flamboyantly? /s
hardcoreufo, IDK about that. Everyone I know who uses Linux is pretty vanilla. Or maybe my perspective has just shifted…
Scolding7300, It’s just an Archlinux meme
Fudoshin, Nah.
Pharmacokinetics, Using linux turned me straight because I hatw you gay assholes.
LarmyOfLone, 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?
EuroNutellaMan, 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
cows_are_underrated, 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.
Neil, 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.
aesopjah, what is NEETs? looked it up, but what I found didn’t seem to fit the context of the sentence
FilthyHookerSpit, Not Employed, ^in Education ^or Training
DerisionConsulting, Lemmy formatting a little different from reddit. For superscript, you need carets on both sides.
Not Employed, ^in^ Education, ^or^ Training
Turns into
Not Employed, ^in^ Education, ^or^ TrainingIf you are using a Lemmy ap that did the formatting, please tell the devs. Basically none of the aps seem to do formatting correctly, and should be fixed.
LarmyOfLone, Hmm, thanks, but that makes me rather suspicious. 4chan is notorious for spontaneous social engineering campaigns for “shits and giggles”. And at best they are chaotic neutral.
Neil, That’s the /b/ and most recently /pol/ boards. Very few campaigns come from other boards. /g/ is the “technology” board.
fruitycoder, It’s because we want all the dress and trappings but still want to keep our packages. Logical conclusion honestly /s
violetraven, Let’s be honest, there is no such thing as an old, fat femboy. There’s a specific unfortunate ED component to femboys.
Allero, Old, fat femboy:
victorz, 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?
CurlyMoustache, Meh, why not?
victorz, Because I don’t want to. And I don’t want to be made like I want to, nor should.
turbowafflz, 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.
victorz, 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.
themaninblack, Really the anime and chicks with dicks on this website. It’s enough to make one explode with sexual desire for a boy toy.
ff00ff, so tired of this shit as well
EuroNutellaMan, Against?
Yes you should become a femboy.
victorz, 😴
Flax_vert, Groomer
EuroNutellaMan, Funny how every prominent person who has accused someone of this when talking about LGBTQI+ people has turned out to be a pedo or groomer themselves.
Maybe someone should look into your obsession with kids and other people’s sexual activities.
Flax_vert, Sorry, I shouldn’t interfere with your “sexual activity” of trying to make people get involved in your femboy fetish
iopq, Who said femboys cannot have wives?
victorz, 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.
PeterPoopshit, 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.
victorz, 😆
🫂
reddithalation, 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.
victorz, I see. Well, I don’t appreciate that it seems like you need to be one to be a part of the community. I want all to be welcome.
Steak, Most real woman don’t wanna marry a guy who fantasizes about being a weird little catboy.
littlewonder, I don’t believe you.
bhamlin, But we do exist.
lars, All women are real
eskimofry, But people generally don’t marry “Most real women”, just 1 is enough.
Huschke, So what you are saying is that you are still in the middle of the picture. Got it.
cows_are_underrated, Yes, you’re supposed to become a femboy.
victorz, 😴
Perhapsjustsniffit, 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.
OldWoodFrame, 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.
Perhapsjustsniffit, 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.
OldWoodFrame, 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.
Perhapsjustsniffit, 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.
boatsnhos931, I’m with you
Perhapsjustsniffit, 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.
boatsnhos931, Not with you anymore LOL
Perhapsjustsniffit, I could give a fuck. My dress doesn’t affect your life in any way. You’re as big a problem as they are.
boatsnhos931, It’s going to be ok, just take it easy. We are going to get your favorite summer dress and no one is going to hurt you sweetie

NominatedNemesis, 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.
Perhapsjustsniffit, That’s what I do. Kilts. They’re awesome. Assholes will be assholes still but whatever. That’s their problem not mine.
kurumin, Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
boatsnhos931, **wearing dresses everyday 🤣
victorz, 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.
kurumin, Lol. Easy dude.
victorz, You want me to stay that bad?
kurumin, I doooo pleeeeease!
CAVOK, 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?
Allero, Was enough for me to move to Manjaro, an Arch derivative, to become a femboy
victorz, Why, what happened?
kurumin, His dick fell off.
summerof69, Well, the OP and at least 600+ people can relate. So clearly something is wrong with you!
kureta, you definitely should.
Flax_vert, Groomer
kttnpunk, 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.
UnfortunateShort, 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.
azertyfun, 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.
vegantomato, If I had to pick a friend, I’d pick the fat guy. He is probably more wholesome than the guy that destroyed his brain by watching too much porn/anime garbage.
vegantomato, It’s probably astroturfed by a few loud trannies (porn addicts) who haven’t seen the sun for a few months. If you check out the “code of conduct” of Lemmy and their criterias for delisting instances, you will understand why stuff like this survives and thrives. In an organic social media environment these people would’ve been called out x1000 harder for being obnoxious, making no sense, or being degenerates.
victorz, I decided to leave the community. Not like it’s an important place to be. ✌️
vegantomato, It’s good that you make that known. I hope that you find a good alternative.
Personally, I’m also jumping out if common sense gets too censored around here.
glowie, Only arch linux
Fudoshin, I’ve been using Arch Linux for years. I’m gay but not a femboy. Explain
glowie, Ah one of the more resistant ones I see. In that case you need to try black arch.
swab148, I’m only sometimes a femboy, and I use Debian.
cley_faye, Sometimes I wish. In the end it’s neckbeard all the way up.
Jknaraa, I have to admit, I have questions about the impact of spending too much time deep inside machine logic territory.
haui_lemmy, It definitely makes it harder to understand humans ime.
menemen, Maybe for you youngsters. We old farts only get to grow a beard and get fat.
EuroNutellaMan, That’s due to oppression by the State and society that doesn’t want to allow our respected graybeards to become the femboy they deserve to be. We nust destroy this oppressive system for the freedom of the greybeards, the gamers, the Gentoo users and all other oppressed peoples ✊🏻
Thcdenton, Yup. Exactly what happened to me. Guess I could still shave my legs and where thigh-highs 🤷♀️
vynlwombat, Please don’t
lars, Seriously make yourself at home in your body. You’re the one living there.
oatscoop, I feel like a lot of young linux users aren’t getting the talk and it makes me sad. Nobody ever sat them down with a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and explained the life cycle of an IT professional.
They never learn the natural cycle of things: that at a certain age a lot of IT professionals undergo metamorphosis and transform into beautiful, sock-and-sandal wearing greybeards.
EuroNutellaMan, Nah it’s more-so that the conditions have changed making femboy IT guys less likely to die or be pushed out of the environment and therefore increasing biodiversity which is a net positive for the species as a whole as it indicates good health
miss_brainfarts, I have to disagree, I did not turn into a femboy
brey1013, Yet.
Grass, Maybe he doesn’t have the build for it.
miss_brainfarts, Oh, I do. But I turned out trans, so there’s that
cows_are_underrated, OK, that’s a valid reason to not become a femboy.
miss_brainfarts, Though to be honest, I was steered towards the femboy track, but then came the realization
Madagaskar_sky, Traitor. 😛
miss_brainfarts, Boobs. Like… boobs
miss_brainfarts, No no, I went straight to being a girl
EuroNutellaMan, Ok now this, this is epic. Install NixOS and become a catgirl
miss_brainfarts, I like Endeavour too much to switch. I mean, it’s pretty much purple Arch, what’s not to like?
EuroNutellaMan, I used it for a while but switched off of it after I got bored of the theme and went to arch itself.
I eventually fucked something up while using fdisk and that’s how I ended up on Nix
Holzkohlen, By my rough estimation of all Arch users 50% are trans, 50% are femboys and 50% are furries.
miss_brainfarts, How’s the overlap between those, though?
Are there more trans furries than furry femboys? What about trans femboys? Or even, trans femboy furries?
shiftymccool, I think that particular venn diagram may appear as a circle unless under extreme magnification
Blackmist, Nice try, Richard Stallman.
I reckon that’s a glue on beard.
