The Debian logo is very similar to the progynova logo (progynova is estrogen). The above image is probably inspired by that.

LainTrain ,

Nah, I think it predates trans culture memes becoming so mainstream.

Successful_Try543 , (edited )

Yet, I don’t see a direct relation between (trans) gender and sexuality. (I’ve seen a meme making fun of the similarity of the logos and packaging before, so I see the point).

LainTrain ,

True

Why does everything in the FOSS sphere have to be made overtly creepy by adding anime teenage schoolgirls?

Humorless4483 ,

That’s what makes me dislike more and more the FOSS community because it seems none of the FOSS devs have seen a women in their life and have very sus kinks.

This is how marketing works in Asia. Major corps do it every bit as much. You have anime mascots or you don’t sell to anyone under 40, from my understanding.

LainTrain , (edited )

It’s a meme, ya dunce. I don’t think anyone is furiously jerking it to the Debian logo just because it has some poorly drawn animeys next to it.

Avero ,

every slightly popular thing gets their anime girls, nothing can escape

AVincentInSpace ,

every major tech company has an anime mascot. Here’s AMD’s one: moeverse.xyz/wiki/Amada_Kokoro

And here’s the one Microsoft made for Internet Explorer:

Wow! It’s even got a backstory and all.
Doesn’t make the product more appealing though. The only thing that does that for me is the Datasheets.

This promotes pedophilia.

Idk why so many grown nerds insist on sexualizing little girls.

Edit: wow turns out this instance is full of pedophiles. Gross.

fushuan ,

You can have a romance without sexualizing shit, it’s not all about sex.

fruitycoder ,

That is not ok either. Children adult sexual or romantic relationships are not ok because of the power dynamic. Both of legal rights and emotional and mental maturities.

fushuan ,

The girls in the picture appear to be minors though? I never suggested an age difference??? Wtf…

fruitycoder ,

The perspective of the image is voyeuristic. The person criticing the trend is talking about that issue.

absentbird ,
@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

Weird how none of these arguments show up on images of hetero teen romance.

Plastic_Ramses ,

Doesnt matter if theyre gay/straight, this is very obviously sexualizing minors. The skirts blowing up is a dead giveaway.

absentbird ,
@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

Good point, with hetero teen romance the guy usually isn’t even wearing a skirt.

fruitycoder ,

This isn’t even an image of lesbian teen romance tbh. Its penned for the viewers interest instead of candid scene of two kids in love

user ,

If you’re an adult, and you’re interested in children’s romance thats the same issue. In fact, all content directed towards older audences featuring this kind of stuff, is directed to, and made by pedos.

fushuan ,

All the high school romance stories are directed to pedos? Give me a break…

    The downwoters should be investigated.

    I’ve seen this image pop up now and then for like 10+ years as a meme in the Linux community and never not once did I think this.

    Obviously if that’s a confirmed intention behind it, then it’s not okay, but I think you’re overthinking it, it’s just how anime designs are, the characters often look agelessly young.

    These look like pretty average anime characters to me and don’t strike me as implying something problematic in the slightest.

    Idk I’m an outside observer to weeb shit, but that’s how I always interpreted it at least.

    unexposedhazard ,

    Wdym “sorry” this is amazing <3

    Without the thin black outline i would steal this for future use

    DarkThoughts ,

    Personally I think it is too blocky and the colors too random, but I don't know the original comment that gave the inspiration. I like this one much more, although I'd rather see the rainbow colors follow the direction of the swirl more.

    Chocrates ,

    It’s the disk usage analyzer.

    DarkThoughts ,

    Ah, I'm not using Gnome.

    Chocrates ,

    Haha no worries. I should really explore other desktops. I have been on gnome for like 20 years :|

    AlligatorBlizzard OP ,

    I was hoping to find something exactly like this, but I didn’t - what I used was the Debian Diversity logo from their own site.

    DarkThoughts ,

    I just searched for "Debian Rainbow" in an image search. I'm sure you can easily hack something together with a rainbow gradient mask over the regular logo in an image editor.

    folkrav ,

    Interesting, to me, the dual gradient looks like late 90s WordArt lol

    DarkThoughts ,

    I was more talking about the logo itself, not the background.

    folkrav ,

    Ah, yeah fair enough.

    AlligatorBlizzard OP , (edited )

    I’ll fix it up in a bit, but I made it on my phone because I was in the process of re-installing Debian on my potato laptop, and it felt like blasphemy to make it on my gaming laptop (which is currently Windows only until I get another SSD for it), lol.

    EDIT: fixed. Mind you, it’s still not good…

    unexposedhazard ,

    Cool thanks :D Indeed making this on a windoofus machine would be blasphemy lol

    Kusimulkku ,

    I thought we just had a pride month, how many are there now??

    AlligatorBlizzard OP ,

    Debian is out of date. That’s it. That’s the entire joke. It’s basically this without beating on the rotting horse corpse of IE. (And this, like the IE meme, is funnier the longer it’s been since June).
