    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?

      Being a femboy doesn’t mean you have to be gay. Being a femboy means that you like to express yourself as a feminine. This means that you may wear clothes associated with females, use makeup or wear jewellery.

      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.
