    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!

    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!

        Because i don’t think your post makes sense in the context of linuxmemes you think i am offended? :D

        No, but you seem offended by me not giving you praise for this…i still don’t know what this is supposed to mean.

        You could have explained it but instead you jump to conclusions and dissmiss it to save your fragile ego.

            Seems like i got under your skin :D

            I didn’t say anything about a distro but you coming after me for something that didn’t happen is pretty telling. Take your meds because you are embarrassing yourself.

              Ok first of all you can’t tell me what to do you’re not my mom and even if you are first of all HI mom, love you and second of all I’m not taking my meds 😡😡😡

              And second second of all you implied linux is not easy to setup as if Hanna Montana Linux was so hard to setup and that all linux distros operate like gentoo or something.

              Lastly, I have depicted you as the soyjack.

    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 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

        Wrong take on my end at least. Doesn’t feel relevant to me in the least bit. I’m secure in my sexuality, but I don’t think sexualizing animals is funny no matter what. It’s cringe every time.

        Welp, apologies for offending the furries who down voted.

    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.

      Why throw anime/manga into this same pot? That’s like saying you don’t like movies with real actors as a medium.

        Because people with no interest in anime see it as a monolithic genre defined by the unbelievable wasterfall of fanservice isekai drivel. Pretty much all forms of animation still bear the burden of being seen as a genre within a medium rather than a medium themselves.

          In all fairness, it’s is way too fucking common to start an anime and be like “oh shit this is pretty deep” and then episode three diverges into very uncomfortable underage stepsister beach episode filler.

        Can you identify it stylistically? If I showed you Up and cowboy bebop screenshots could you tell which one was of Japanese origin and which was Pixar animation?

        If there were various Simpsons style comics and tv shows but you don’t like that animation style, would it be fair to lump them together?

        I don’t want it and I think it’s off-putting to see rices of Linux that by and large feature waifu trash backgrounds, but that’s me. I don’t like the visuals and I find the translated dialogue to be both simplistic and hyperbolic as a generality.

          Probably not 100% of the time, but yeah. Most times, it’s identifiable.

          If there were various Simpsons style comics and tv shows but you don’t like that animation style, would it be fair to lump them together?

          I think this doesn’t work. First of all is anime filled with many different styles, but also a much broader field than stuff that looks like the Simpsons. Also, if something is animated similarly to the Simpsons, that does not really say anything about it’s content, just a medium again.

          I don’t want it and I think it’s off-putting to see rices of Linux that by and large feature waifu trash backgrounds, but that’s me. I don’t like the visuals and I find the translated dialogue to be both simplistic and hyperbolic as a generality.

          That’s totally alright, you don’t need to like it. But you also shouldn’t be putting it down generally. “I don’t like anime” is alright, a statement of opinion, but saying “I absolutely hate anime/manga” is just offensive. Feel free not to like and avoid it, but why hate an animation style that is loved by many.

          I personally don’t watch that much anime and don’t read manga at all, but still, there are some diamonds there. It actually made me learn Japanese, and I’m still going strong after 10 Months. Anime gives me and many others comfort and entertainment, sometimes with the ability to break the everyday.

          Btw to talk some more about Linux stuff, fcitx5 is pretty amazing. Typing the thousands of Japanese/Chinese and other characters is no easy feat to integrate well I assume, but combined with anthy or mozc it gets the job done really well.

            “I hate” is also an opinion. I absolutely do hate it, and I hate the subculture it inspires. I find it all massively cringe. But that is just me and if you love it then you do you. I’m just a random internet stranger to you.

              Sure hate is an opinion, but an extreme one. And history tells countless stories on how that’s bad.

        I just block the people who post this shit, it’s not the entire communities fault. It has the nice side effect of blocking the posts they make on other sexualized cartoon communities.

    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
