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

Yeah so there are still young nerds, they're just all trans women now.

Isn't trans a sort of open source tinkering with the biological systems you own?

Runtime patching if you will

That’s actually fitting, because linux is all about choice, freedom and individuality. I like it.

The people who are into this were always there amongst the nerds. They just never spoke up out of fear and social ostracism.

Furrys are not a new "Internet" thing, the fandom has been active since like, the 70s when it branched off other fantasy fandoms. It was all started by a small group of people going to scifi cons.

The greybeards are the Linux-Boomers now, the nerds with glasses became the new greybeards and trans people, gays, furrys and femboys are the new nerds with glasses. The circle seems to close.
