i like how i legitimately cannot tell if im in 196 or linuxmemes most times :3
The Venn diagram showing the users of 196 and Linux is more or less a circle.

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

Why do so many people feel bothered about this? It's not like the comunity is associated with a political party or something due to this. Also it's a meme comunity and this is a meme, what did you expect?
Eh. Furry is one of the few punching bags that people feel it's safe to attack nowadays. I've seen some people say that that attitude just a modern expression of homophobia.
I feel if you're still making fun of furries at this point and not just ignoring them and moving on with your life, you need to pull yo ass out of 2005 and get new jokes. That Vanity Fair article was like almost 20-fucking years ago.
Edit: I take that back after looking it up, it was OVER 20 fucking years ago.

I'm Asexual but I do enjoy Linux :3
Ace btw
Arch btw
I'm a Linux user and trans but I'm not a furry.
I am only a Linux user. I don't feel trans, nor am I a furry. Could you become a furry for me to average me out? Thanks!
Gods damnit ... I'm a furry now. Thanks Obama.
Thanks that you take one for the team. If we ever meet, I owe you a sandwich.
OwO
Not yet a furry
Famously Gay Creature:
Oh hey, you like Linux?
Some people here:
Stay back foul incubus! My faith in my heterosexuality shall protect me from your wily charms! Stand down, beast, for I invoke the word of cringe!

That's how it all starts. First, you just find anthropomorphic characters "hot". Next, you realize you were gay all along. Everything afterwards happens in a flash. Before you know it, you've picked a side in the systemd wars, you swear by ZFS, have memorized ESC :q! by heart and changed your 'sona into a FOSSa

I like using Linux as much as I like using subs
subway blushing u-use my toasted meatball marinara
I will use your meatballs, rest assured
Now I would like to know how many Linux users are Doms and how many are subs. I mean a lot of Linux user like the control over the system.
What the fuck has this to do with linux? Besides the word linux is in it?
Furry linux users thinking people will also like furry if they put linux in it.
The venn diagram of linux admins and furries is troublingly circular
Because all Linux users are weebs, naturally.
