image transcript: caption reads "boys when they're ricing their arch linux twink pad" over a drawing of the boykisser cat with thigh highs on and a laptop edited in. end transcription.
!UnixSocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone for the uninitiated.
I'm more like this tho
man is running gnu/linux on his garden mad props meowza
Why has "twinkpad" never occurred to me?? That's brilliant.
the thighhighs are to prevent burns
Can we please replace the racist slang? I get that there's not currently a better single word for superficial janky optimization but I'm sure one of y'all is funny enough to come up with one
This was already a discussion and it was determined no one cares about the term because barely anyone even knows what it's roots are or sees it that way, everyone thinks "car modding". Notably neither did Asian users who have been using the term for decades. this is just tone policing for the sake of it, you're creating problems where there are none
I'm in the comments right now trying to figure out why cheap Japanese cars are in the meme
What's the other definition?
It clearly wasn't "determined". Asian users can speak for themselves, they don't need you to do it for them.
if Asian users can speak for themselves, why do you speak for them?
I don't, though. Pointing out that something is derogatory doesn't require the people it's directed at to have any opinion about it one way or the other.
i very much disagree.
