[ Edit: I didn't understand the meme! See comments for context.]

Can 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 think the socks thing is more of a reference to trans people (or femboys or however they liked to be called) who like linux

oftenawake ,

Well in that case it went sailing over my head. I hope you're right! I'm a trans ally (my child is nonbinary) albeit nowhere near up to speed on a lot of stuff particularly memes.

I've lately been helping an older female friend through a shitty breakup where the fact the guy purely objectifies women in a cartoonish porno and pedo sense has been one of many disturbing revelations about what a creepy bastard he has turned out to be.

I guess I saw "disembodied vaguely sexualised teenage girl legs' and just felt grossed out because there are still a bunch of creepy old sexual predators out there and this meme gave me the same ick feeling I've been dealing with, knowing for sure that my teenagers are definitely not too young for a particular 65 year old in our town.

Basically I'm sick and tired of sexually predatory men and I will take them down whenever we encounter each other!

Anyway apologies for not getting the meme... which remains a meme I don't like, but obviously there's more to it than I realised.

deathbird ,

What's this got to do with women?

oftenawake ,

I was thinking that it was coming from a place of Linux "dudes by default" and hadn't clocked that it's apparently a Linux/trans meme.

HaraldvonBlauzahn ,

I can confirm that even female penguins prefer to wear tuxedos ☺

I mean I took it as what /I'd/ wear, because I do like wearing thigh high socks.

Zink ,

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.

FishFace ,

What if my favourite are Gentoo's but I don't want to spend years of my life waiting for my OS to compile from source?

Bababasti ,

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.

HugeNerd ,

That's your takeaway from this pic?

Johanno ,

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.

HugeNerd ,

Yeah and that chainsaw is pretty dangerous too.

But then why is the blade mounted with the logo upside down?

HugeNerd ,

I've had that picture for years and just noticed now! tx

Johanno ,

Idk. Incompetence?

WHY THE FUCK DO LEATHER SOCKS EXIST?! What problem does this solve, dry feet?

Evil_Shrubbery ,

Armor, some PCBs can get pointy.

Nasan ,

Same as compression socks, but you get to brag about how it took 2 hours to get them on.

Evil_Shrubbery , (edited )

Also you fine folk wear your disto-wear over or under your Gimp-wear?

Gentoo requires you to grow the cotton, process it, and then knit the thigh-highs yourself
