UbuntuCan we choose to stop having teenage girl manga leg fetish memes associated with Linux? That’s my choice because it’s not the 90s any more and I’m a middle-aged beardy father of three daughters. This meme is totally seedy and doesn’t do any favours for Linux or Open Source.
It’s not particularly funny and we can come up with far better memes without making it seem (yet again) like Linux might be mostly for creepy basement-dwelling nerds who haven’t met many real women and who aren’t creating a welcoming community which truly views women as something more than sex objects.
It’s dinosaur-era shit, guys. Please make better memes!
I mean I took it as what /I’d/ wear, because I do like wearing thigh high socks.
To me it just means maybe I should try Gentoo
What’s this got to do with women?
Seedy? I think you are reading more into the socks than I am.
I have the opposite reaction when I see these memes. To me it’s a reminder of how inclusive some of my favorite nerdy communities are, on top of being a fun little in-joke like any meme should be. And I’m an old beardy middle aged dad too for whatever that’s worth.
However, that doesn’t mean the image itself is innocent or appropriate for most audiences. I’m not going to be asking the family’s opinion on this one, lol. But I don’t see it as a manga fetish thing at all. More empowerment than exploitation for the owners of the legs shown.
I had the same thought and am fairly confused by the outrage.
Isn’t the whole joke that as soon as we sit down to nerd out on Linux that we put on our frilly socks? There’s even the whole unixsocks comm dedicated to it. And it always felt good in a throwback to the 90s ‘outcast geek’ community without all the cis dude-by-default baggage bit of in-joking. Welcoming all our brothers and sisters by highlighting just how much they are part of our community.
What does OP think the image suggests I wonder?
I like the way this comment assumes the unix socks meme is perpetuated by horny neckbeards, not horny transwomen.
Men like women bodies. Thats why you are here on this planet. Your dad got attracted to your mom, probably because of her body.
I really think you have lost your mojo if you are offended by this.
EndeavourOSThose legs look weak. What Linux is this?
I need to know more about the backstory of this image. Mostly not because of those impressive thighs but because of that long ass chainsaw. Is that thing real?!
Tap for spoiler
And yes, okay, maybe also because of those thick thighs.
Obviously a promotional picture for chainsaws from STIEHL. She doesn’t wear any protective gear and those things are dangerous as fuck and probably used for huge ass trees.
But then why is the blade mounted with the logo upside down?
That’s just straight up Unix, the mother of it all.
I’m sorry, but the pink&white striped ones are canonically Arch.
Windows:
“You’re wearing socks aren’t you!?” -Microsoft
plan 9:
Leather socks openSUSE
WHY THE FUCK DO LEATHER SOCKS EXIST?! What problem does this solve, dry feet?
Same as compression socks, but you get to brag about how it took 2 hours to get them on.
Also you fine folk wear your disto-wear over or under your Gimp-wear?
This post makes me think I should find some purple and black kneehigh socks for my fat ass and crossdress for the bit.
…And what would Tails be?
Linux From Scratch
I think I broke something. Help.
I use Linux Mint at work and Pop!OS at home. Sorry to disappoint.
For all we know, those could be thigh high socks
Lol
If they don’t smell like shit, they won’t count.
Nice trousers.
Need to get it tailored to get a fit like this nowadays. No OTSThey just look ironed to me
