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?
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.
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.
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.
That's the /b/ and most recently /pol/ boards. Very few campaigns come from other boards. /g/ is the "technology" board.
what is NEETs? looked it up, but what I found didn't seem to fit the context of the sentence
Not Employed, ^in Education ^or Training
Lemmy formatting a little different from reddit. For superscript, you need carets on both sides.
Not Employed, ^in^ Education, ^or^ TrainingTurns into
Not Employed, ^in^ Education, ^or^ Training
If 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.
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
