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?
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.
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^ Training
Turns 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.
