Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    This is a joke BY queers FOR queers. The goal is NOT to make cishets comfortable, or to teach them anything, or generally to cater to their feelings at all.

    Is it so hard to understand that sometimes people want to feel seen? Why does it matter that "society" will take it badly because of tokenization or whatever the fuck? Are you even queer yourself or just projecting what you think queer people should want? Because I'm queer and I appreciate "haha non-queer thing but now queer" humor.
    It's not very high brow, but that's just the nature of shitposting and I don't go off on the tens of supposedly relatable dead horses that get beaten every day in meme communities either.

    I'm not knocking the sentiment you describe. I'm knocking the use of projective and tokenizing bullshittery.

    I'm sorry you're offended, but these jokes specifically are doing culture and acceptance no favors.

    You can feel accepted without reducing yourself to a token.

    Why do you insist that my primary objective should be "culture and acceptance"? People, many/most of whom presumably queer, find the meme enjoyable.

    Who are you to tell us to stop having fun in the name of conformity and that we should instead work to "win" the favor of the out-group?

    You yourself said it was about feeling seen.

    Do you think that only comes in one flavor?
