    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.

    Sounds like serious insecurity. A lot of these memes are more along the lines of queer folk finding an accepting community and having fun posting things that would normally result in cyber bullying.

    Also the boykisser thing has always just been a joke. Don’t take it as an insult or something.

    [–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works -4 points 11 months ago

    No it's lack of delineation.

    I want linux memes about linux. Period. When I come to Lemmy I don't want sports, I don't want yiff, I don't want anime, I don't want social issues, I'm here for the linux.

    I'm glad people are finding a place, but I'm not sorry if internet snark is just too much to handle when it looks off topic.

    Maybe your wife likes feminine men and you just never realized you were one who knows. Maybe it's just a meme. Maybe we should all sudo rm -fr /* --no-preserve-root to remove all traces of French from our root

    (--no-preserve-root has no effect when using /*)

    [–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    It's just an extra precaution to make sure all traces of Frenchery are removed. I also recommend drilling a hole in the hard disk to make sure to really get them.

    We must nuke fr🤮nce

    [–] akash_rawal@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

    All these are just silly stereotypes that almost nobody fits into.

    [–] eclipse@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

    Most people in the Linux community are none of the above.

    [–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Yet somehow you sound incredibly immature. Would hate having to deal with you IRL.

    [–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    And you sound like a cockhole so I'm also glad.

    [–] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

    A cockwomble

    Get an old Thinkpad, the cheaper and the more beat up it is the better, as long as it functions. Flash Libreboot on it and get really into open source software, and I mean REALLY into it. Use that as your daily driver and only use open source software no matter how inconvenient. That's one way you can still fit in with the Linux crowd.

    [–] PlexSheep@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

    [–] cyanarchy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] PlexSheep@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

    Yeah that happens. I don't like it too, it's lazy writing at least.

    [–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    [–] PlexSheep@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

    Maybe your wife is gay
