    I’m not sure what’s worse, the greybeard stereotype or the socks.

      Oh, the greybeard stereotype, for sure. Carrying the weight required for the ‘classic RMS’ look isn’t good for your health. Cute twinks in knee-high socks carrying a blahaj are much better, everyone loves them.

      Now, the fully-actuated fursuit for if you want to be taken seriously as a sysadmin? That’s an expensive hobby.

        Just a bit misgendery for my tastes. Also some right wing people have glommed onto the whole femboy thing. There is 100% a femboy-fascist pipeline.

            The basic idea is that it can stem from the incel world, the attitude that if they can’t have women, they can become them. It can be a way to affirm hypermasculinity, not challenge it.

            So it ends up being dominance, forcing men into subservience.
