What the fuck are "programmer's socks" and why are are tech communities so degenerate? - Alternatively: why is every other programmer a tranny for some reason?

[Anonitolia]

Serious question. I don't understand how or why this shit happened, nor why it specifically dug itself so deeply into programming.

I have yet to find a single programming group that doesn't contain any of this schlock. I was taking a glance at coding stuff since I've wanted to make a video game for god knows how long now (and was looking into web development a little before that for similar reasons), and from what I can glean there isn't a single support group out there that isn't either dead or 70%+ trans. A lot of the living ones being on Discord obviously contributes, but even outside of Discord the percentage of weird degenerate shit being super prevalent in these places remains startlingly high. It's a little easier to find tutorials from people that aren't like this- thank god- but the moment I have some kind of issue that YouTube can't solve it's back to no-man's-land or bust.

Is it just the high prevalence of autism that's causing this? The necessity to stick to an "outsider" culture by adopting the most bizarre and degenerate shit possible in defiance of their now-mainstream hobby? Or just a side-effect of how most of the internet is embroiled in this shit now?

I'm so confused and I'm so sick of seeing pink stockings whenever I try to search up the basics of C++ or Python. Please share if you have an answer to this weird phenomenon.
(Also let me know if this is too off-topic for Internet & Technology. I figured i'd ask here instead of Q&A because this is where all of the Kiwi programmers presumably hang out and I figured you guys would have more insight into this confounding culture than the other board's frequenters.)

i dont know the exact cause but in general i think we can lay the blame on a combination of extreme autism, anime obsession, porn addiction, lack of father figure, and being terminally online.

girls wont fuck nerds so they turn gay

 

[thebigjoel]

I don't know either, but it needs to stop. Even Lisp is being taken over. It used to be a few kind greybeards on some mailing lists, now the troons are taking over and making it a fucking joke.

 

[Tequila Jong]

It's fucking weird. I've got a couple of mates who are autistic, love anime, are programmers, but are rather manly men. I'm with Neo-Nazi Rich Evans here, maybe having a well adjusted life, not having a chronic porn addiction, and actually going outside have something to do with it.

Discord.

Discord.

I went to check in on one of the Discords I sometimes participate in for one of my hobbies. Their logo was the progress rainbow flag. That was enough, I knew they were mostly trannies but didn't make a big deal out of it. Oh well I'll stick to the forums.

If discord just took a few notes from how the Sneedcord operated and banned pornography entirely it would definitely solve a lot.

Well, that the average sysadmin is a furfag is also a recurring trope aswell.

In the good old days(tm) they were mostly just gay.

In the good old days, yes, you wore conductive socks and conductive shoes so you were grounded to the floor and didn't statically damage the equipment you were working on. Obviously there are other options for anti-static depending on what you are working on.

Of course now it's some tranny shit with knee-high socks that have nothing to do with programming.

- They're expected to embrace a mindset of being current and trendy because they have to be because everything they use evolves every few years, and progressive views are trendy online.

- In the west work has been allowed to replace all other forms of social exchange, except their work involves sitting alone behind a computer so they probably have very few irl friends and are generally very disconnected from regular people who breath fresh air once in a while.

- They're usually doughy fucking dweebs so they're more likely to be dissatisfied with themselves physically.

- All the platforms they use are run by silicon valley liberal elitists, which have their own reason for encouraging this type of ideology.

- The internet is full of idle degenerates who have no reason to exist besides to sit on social media and jerk off, which causes tech people to perceive all of it as much more sane and ok than it actually is.

It's rare for someone to get into tech without winding up noticeably more progressive and dickless. Work with computers at your own risk.

Is it a programming thing or a programming group thing?

From what we know of troons, it seems very unlikely that there is even one who is a 'programmer' but for whom 'programmer' means someone who does 40-50 hours of work programming a week but whose social activities do not revolve around 'programming' or 'being a tranny' but instead goes hiking on a weekend.

Powerlevel. Working in tech actually made me less progressive. I got fucking sick of all the trannies and pooners shitting up the work discord and slack with inane bullshit when I was trying to get to the bottom of NOC issues and having to wade through 50 faggoty inane posts to find where other decent workers were responding to my request to report issues to me. Seeing all the soyniggers, tubby and useless allyboys, and durkadurkas celebrate and be celebrated for their diversity and "le awesome tech skillz" while I had a back end to see just how badly they were fucking up stuff that I'd have to fix helped a lot, too.
TLDR; Working around a diverse cast of failed (read: the real face of the future tm) Tech-Americans made me take better care of my health, find a new job in the field that is a higher position in a much less "tolerant" company and also hate people that don't look or sound like me.

I always figured they were diabetes socks with tranny shit on them?

Most of these faggots would have zero reason to be wearing pressure socks. Even if they are indeed out of shape. It's a fetish.

People are products of their environments, and programmers are no exception to this. Anybody who been working with computers in a professional capacity before trannydom became prominent are pushing mid-to-late thirties at the youngest (remember it was shoved into the mainstream as a counter-reaction to OWS, which is about twelve years ago at this point). If they're still alive and working, the majority either kowtow to the culture enough to not stick out (mostly everyone); are completely detached from it because of where they are in life (somebody has probably tried to get Donald Knuth to talk about it in person, but I'm sure his secretary has filtered any of that nonsense out otherwise); get put in their place fast (Linus); or were swallowed up whole in it (anyone involved with netsec, especially CCC--also every asshole who now owns/funds tech companies). Only a few of them have the balls (autism) to not deviate from their beliefs even after considerable backlash (RMS).

Also from a technological standpoint, you are not allowed to see anything but discussion areas where troons, if somehow not involved, would nevertheless be tolerated.

Now that I think about it, the degenerate community is the perfect sociological version of Micro$oft's Embrace-Extend-Extinguish mantra...

Programmers are perennial outsiders simply by virtue of what they do - working with abstract bullshite all day twists your mind in strange ways. There used to be a more even split in programmer communities between the flavors of madness - for example, the NRx and Dark Enlightenment (precursors to the modern online right) were basically founded by tech guys, Eric Raymond was a lolbertarian-turned-chud, and of course Jersh.

I think the major difference came in the 2010s when programmer pay, even in the junior levels, skyrocketed. At that point, you had a bit of a selection process - the more right-leaning people abandoned the communal spaces to grind 80 hours a week so they could retire by 40 and the more left-leaning people continued to not work and Do It For Free by becoming discord/reddit mods.

Also keep in mind that this shit is massively overrepresented in social media. If you get a tech job in a normie fortune 500 company, your coworkers will probably be normies with normie heterosexual families who do normie shit on their off hours instead of moderating The Rust Discord.
