It really isn't though. This is a pretty weak stereotype. I have so many friends that are counter examples. Hey it's okay to make a meme if you want to have fun but if that's how you feel then your friend group is small.

its funny, but I don't like it in practice either, because its actually prevented some friends from switching over to Linux

"hey if your upset with windows, why not have a look at Linux?"

"do I look like a femboy, or gay to you??"

that's about how the conversation goes

Sounds like you have really bigoted friends.

Yeah but if you live in places as Eastern Europe there aren't a lot of "yay LGBT" people (yeah sorry for me saying it that way, couldn't think of any other way to describe it), especially in the more remote parts (like for example, Prague is like an American city in this regard, a ton of support and stuff, and when I compare it to the middle of nowhere I live in it's the complete opposite)

I at least get the luxury that they don't get the "uwu Linux turned me into a femboy" post on their tiktok fyp (ofc they have that app installed so they can get their daily dose of homophobic bs)

To note these aren't my friends but classmates, we had an event a few days ago about learning how to stand up for our opinions and the first thing they pulled out is about this, ofc 95% of all guys in the class went to the "ban and execute" group, they lost their argument since their only opinion was "well it's not natural", I hate how they just dragged this for the rest of the event (the next task was to come up with a list of the most common positive opinions of society, ofc since they are the majority of out class the result was "banning LGBTQ", and not to mention they dragged it for next three days after the event too

TL;DR

It just depends on where you live, and what the common opinions there are

I mean: insecure idiots who seriously think that using an OS that professionals in programming and security use/recommend has too much of a progressive culture? Sounds like a them problem.
