    this post assumes Linux users are heterosexual men and objectifies women - not very cool :/

    //edit

    by saying “… another man …” the meme is implying that the Linux user is a man himself. by referencing the girlfriend of the male Linux user, the meme is implying the male Linux user is likely hetero or bi.

    the meme then compares the woman to software, an inanimate object.

    I am myself a queer polyamorous Linux user, but this meme feels a lot like all the memes calling leftists for cucks and I would prefer if we kept that out of our communities.

      Not really, it just assumes that the Linux user has a girlfriend who’s promiscuous. It’s just a joke. That said, I am a male Linux user and my wife and I are poly, so it’s extra funny to me.

      Also the other man is the active person while the girlfriend is passive and doesn’t have agency.

      Also “having sex” turns fucking into a materialistic transaction instead of something you do together. According to marxist / leninist mythology that makes this a shitpost.

      Oh right :D
