    These thumbnails are also the reason why people stay away from Linux. How is the little girl relevant to your question?

      Couldn’t possibly agree more. One of the biggest barriers to sharing my enthusiasm for Linux with my friends is filtering out all of the cringey anime weeb shit that somehow gets posted along with it. Why does open source software need to be associated with creepy drawings of little girls? Absolutely the worst vibes.

        It’s understandable when it comes from niche programs with solo devs. You are likely to be a degen when you spend your whole day in front of your computer. So you likely also have degen habits like the one here. But if it’s from group of devs then yeah that’s straight up irritating.

        Also you in the sense not you. English not my main language.

          Hur durr… You have different interests… Therefore degenerate…

          Do you even realize how incredibly stupid the whole concept of tribalism is?

            My understanding of degeneracy is well defined.

            degenerate behavior, especially behavior considered sexually deviant

            Fortunately I do not have any interest on little kids so yes it is deviating from my/societal interest therefore a degen.

              Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for correctly using the term and calling out the degenerates who self-insert as little girls everywhere.

              That’s where you’re wrong kiddo. The downvotes are because you are jumping to conclusion about lolis and other sexualization.

              The fascination with child personas for most anime fans are just that. It’s cute. The same ways dogs are cute, and cats are cute. I really doubt they have a fetish on children, although there are some that do. I really don’t think it’s right to mash them all together.

                Idk where you are from. But someone making it their hobby to watch cute little girls is considered quite creepy in my place.

                Ik that’s also a reason and i stand by my views which also happens to be the views of the general society.

      The average person finds these creepy, and so you’ll keep the average person away.

      I personally don’t get it either, it does look like a 6 year old girl to me and it seems completely off-topic, but I don’t question it so long as it’s not sexual in nature.

        I would have to disagree. What you are saying is toxic communities that reply RTFM to every question like arch or gentoo. Those aren’t beginner friendly distros. Mint, ubuntu, pop, fedora all have wonderful communities and quick support.

        Windows is more documented. Not better but more. So when someone migrates to linux they panic because they can’t find resources like they used to do. How to fix this? Just give it time. More windows enshittification, more migration, more questions in support, more answers. No more gstekeeping like feeling.

          Im active on arch communities and i’ve never seen this kind of message, most of the time they give you a hyperlink to a specific chapter of the manual so you know exactly how to fix your issue, not just copy pasta.

          Windows is more documented. Not better but more.

          Not at all but ok.

            For your first paragraph, try arch discord and for the second ever used a search engine or just youtube? Windows is way more documented. Not necessarily by Microsoft but by the absolute waste community.

              Kinda hard to provide a full documentation of a os as a particular when you have absolutely no control on it. Also there’s plenty of “windows tutorial” that are either wrong or out of date, while in Arch or most closely Linux there’s things that still remain the same years later.

      Anime fans, despite counterintuitiveness, have greater average IQ that not anime fans.
