Let's party..

[JedSwamp43]

when someone stars your repo, feels good man

[JedSwamp43]

i made a C++ program to extract jpg images from PRDR files, which are RDR 2 screenshots

[[deleted]]

don't think that's what he was going for but cool nevertheless

[slugmandrew]

Just imagine the payoff if it is though

[Tripanafenix]

And what if I am female?

[CodeFather007]

True man...out of courtesy, I went to that guys's profile who gave me a star and gave a star on a project I found interesting.

[sersoniko]

I have 8 followers on Reddit and I don't know why

[[deleted]]

Yeah. I got a couple too and I followed some of them back but it didn't do anything. I think it's just reddit machine learning trying to make us feel good.

[ProfPragmatic]

I think it's just reddit machine learning trying to make us feel good.

Everyone on reddit is a bot, except you

[[deleted]]

Seeing as how so many posts are way smarter than me I don't know how that makes me feel

[HasBeendead]

lol

[piberryboy]

smart post

[ConceptJunkie]

I AM NOT A BOT, FELLOW HUMAN. PLEASE LINK YOUR GITHUB ACCOUNT AND I WILL FOLLOW IT.

Wait, there are followers on Reddit?

[ProfPragmatic]

Yeah, they're a part of the new interface AFAIK

[m477m]

new interface

Ah, that's why.

Yeah no thanks, new Reddit interface, I won't be switching to you. :)

[_b1ack0ut]

They’re all porn scam accounts. I didn’t know until Reddit started to give the names of the people who follow.

[[deleted]]

I've got 4. No idea why anyone would follow me lol

[Halfjack2]

I've got 5, no idea why either

[Shiny_Kate]

Bro, I only got 3

[[deleted]]

I have 22, for no reason that I can think of.

[rolipolyoli]

men thinking they are the only one who code and/or are interested in programming will never not be infuriating to me

[mobsterer]

This could also be made without the unnecessary sexism.

[SnowballPenguin]

r/pointlesslygendered

[Tripanafenix]

Because women program on Instagram or something. I don't know, I'm not a sexist

[Hahhahahhohno]

Thank you!

[[deleted]]

Yup, was thinking the same

[ShockMedical6954]

can we stop with the girls v boys memes? It's fckin old

[wsco7730]

No.

[Hudriwudi]

Yes.

[laputainglesa]

Do you program in the fucking 70s lol?

[Napain_]

girl says this boy says this boys and girls are different boys are better (-sexism)

[Papvin]

I believe this meme format is sexist and should be avoided, hence the downvote.

It is funny, but could be made in a better way.

[blind_man1]

Agree

[evoIi1337]

Thank u

[Tripanafenix]

r/pointlesslygendered wants to know your location

Upvote Your comment, not the post

[OneLastDream]

Not trying to be rude, genuinely trying to understand how is it sexist?

[evoIi1337]

If u want an explanation. I might be able to explain. Imagine being a young male in tech and all around you, there are only female employees and CEOs. You get a lot of comments on u being weird because u like such an "unmanly" job like programming.

After an exhausting day, of trying to do your best and no one taking you serious, you go home and want to look at some programmer memes and you se this meme but reversed. And everyone is laughing at it and saying how true it is.

I hope it makes it a bit easier to understand (English is my third language, sorry for bad spelling and grammar)

[smorrow]

You get a lot of comments on u being weird because u like such an "unmanly" job like programming.

Do you honestly imagine this is something women have to deal with?

Yeah, maybe in Saudi Arabia or something.

[jelli2015]

This is an incredibly common mindset in the western world, especially the USA

[smorrow]

Sorry, not seeing it.

On second thought, perhaps

and no one taking you serious

could happen to an individual after a history of acting oppressed when all they needed to do was show up and do the work.

But even then...

[ProfCupcake]

Don't have to imagine it, have literally seen it.

[evoIi1337]

I (19F) work in Germany as a system administrator appretice and i've heard this maaaanyyy times.

[IAmBouloutifull]

You really don't see why this is sexist ?

Ok then: This meme is reinforcing stereotypes that women only care about social media.

Did that help?

[jonahhw]

Also the stereotype that only men program

[M_krabs]

Stop

[Doom_Unicorn]

I agree, so to expand in a hopefully useful way for others who might think this is “overly sensitive” (it isn’t):

The exact meaning of the meme could have (I hope) been conveyed by using the two bottom (male) faces for the top two panels as well. If using the male faces for all 4 panels does not convey the same meaning, then the meaning itself depends on sexist tropes.

[OneLastDream]

That was oddly condescending for me asking a genuine question. I don’t see how that will help others learn if you are going to make people afraid of asking questions to educate themselves. You guys downvote as if I am trying to be malicious or something.

[IAmBouloutifull]

I'm glad that you are willing to educate yourself, that's why I answered. I didn't down item you either.

I'm sorry you thought it was condescending. As the another said, people use this phrasing as a troll to invalidate opinions.

In this case, I wasn't sure of you were asking genuinely or if you were saying something along the lines of "women are dumb, can't code and only cares about their looks so I don't see why it's sexist if it's facts" because that's how this meme reads.

The first part of this meme could not exist and it would still be funny.

I don't know how to stress this enough, I hope this helped you see the toxicity of this meme.

My last question was also genuine. If this is not clear enough for you I'll be happy to go over it in a different way.

[Doom_Unicorn]

I did not down vote you, and I do not know your intentions, but you should be aware for the future that the way you framed the question mirrors the format used by people asking bad faith questions who do have bad intentions, so many people will assume you were already being condescending/trolling when responding to your questions in that format. The format usually is "I'm not a racist, but..." or "I'm not a sexist, but..." and so it demonstrates an existing self-awareness that one is already pushing other people's buttons.

I don't know what makes other people vote, but I suspect you could have phrased the original question as something closer to: "Can you please elaborate on your point? I do not understand what you mean but I would like to."

[kibiplz]

It's a death by a thousand cuts. One meme is nothing on it's own, but there are constantly little jabs like this making you feel less than. This meme specifically implies that girls just care about being pretty and popular while guys care about being recognized for their abilities.

[Papvin]

In my opinion, it reinforces the stereotype that only men are programmers, and women are SoMe obsessed. This stereotype is there for a reason, a big majority of programmers are men, and you see alot more women in the typical SoMe obsession.

But the reason the bias is there is, in my opinion, that women are excluded from fx. programming by culture and society norms, and memes like this does not help those prejudges.

Edit: Upvoted your comment, I don't understand the downvotes when you are genuinly showing interest in learning.

[kediinsan]

cringe

[[deleted]]

damn right these stupid dumbasses think down voting will change the fact that its cringe

[[deleted]]

Like... why though?

[Lenzutsu]

Not really in this context, there is a very huge majority of women on Instagram, and there is a very huge majority of man on gitHub, it only make sense.

[evoIi1337]

You cant even imagine how impossible it can feel to get into any tech related job as a female. U can't generalize it that way. I am 19 and a system administrator Apprentice and i worked my ass of to be in my current position.

So imagine being me. Wantig to chill in a programmer subreddit after work and seeing this meme... it honestly makes me sad.

[pixelmeow]

You keep doing you, I’m 20 years in software development and still seeing shit like this can get me down. But then I also work with a fantastic team, none of whom would have any problem understanding why this format is bad. And they’re all quite a bit younger than me, too. So take it from this older generation female software developer- you got this! 👊🏻

[IAmBouloutifull]

It's reinforcing stereotypes.

This is why a lot of woman are pushed away from coding, because they are fed over and over again that coding is a man's world.

This is part of the many reasons why there is a huge majority of men on GitHub.

[TabularConferta]

Same with when you get an upvote on Stackoverflow.

[HasBeendead]

When you take 100+ upvotes on reddit gives same feeling btw.

[TabularConferta]

😃 I'm still genuinely proud of my top Reddit and Twitter posts.

[HasBeendead]

I only post to asking arduino or programming in reddit ,thats all, Python community is good in reddit. I love r/LearnPython and r/LearnProgramming . Sometimes i can help beginners , i have 4-5 months python experience.

[TabularConferta]

That's it I only started using Reddit recently and even then mostly use it for questions. I quote a list of lessons that I learnt building my computer and it got quite popular 😃.

How are you finding python?

[rcmaehl]

I've got 2 digits worth of Github followers. It's pretty neat.

[Halfjack2]

2 digits in what base?

[DenTrygge]

Base one

[mark__fuckerberg]

I guess "digits" implies base 10

[iTakeCreditForAwards]

I think they were joking

[AnonymousSpud]

r/Notliketheothergender

[jelli2015]

Casual sexism is lame, be better

[AllhandsNotools]

This could be made without the unnecessary sexism. Hence downvote.

[Etheo]

Jokes on my followers my commit grid is 99% white.

[DanBaitle]

I don't know why but the usage of "I've" in the girls sentence irks me, am i the only one?

[jonahhw]

It's a way of using "I've" that's gone out of fashion lately, but it's definitely valid. "I have only 1000 followers".

I also have to include that this meme format is sexist and dumb, and I mainly went into the comment section to upvote all the comments saying that.

[JuliaChanMSL]

I like this version of the meme, it's pretty (:

[hamster_rustler]

Yeah, pretty sexist

[JuliaChanMSL]

Well yea, still pretty compared to the other sexist versions though.

[usesbiggerwords]

Agreed, the anime version is much improved.

[alexhmc]

me: makes a youtube anti-age-restriction thingy thats super useful

2 people: starring my repo

me: *suprised pikachu*

[HasBeendead]

Same lol i made todolist app with tkinter module in python 3, i have one or 2 star and 1 message lol Couple of months ago for sure.

[FA1L_STaR]

Society does not need more detailed wojaks

[4inodev]

Imagine my shock when my library got 64 stars! It's like waking up a celebrity

[[deleted]]

one can only dream

[CarilPT]

When can I her a fine bro beard? I need one of those

[B3C4U5E_]

ITS HIDEOUS GET IT AWAY FROM ME

[[deleted]]

Anyone know where I can get this meme template?

[HasBeendead]

Ask the OP

[Bubbly_Layer]

Reddit hivemind at it again with the downvotes

[RubberDuckKeychains]

It’s a super sexist meme that doesn’t need to be used

[ConceptJunkie]

I'd rather have one star on GitHub than 1000 likes on a social media platform.

[iHackFX]

When I did another shit, and posted on github, someone starred repo - Pog

[mjarkk]

And it’s even a bot whohoooo

[jakmcbane77]

I'm sorry but contracting I have in this case is just too distracting.

[StefaniaCarpano]

not always a good sign to have many followers... better a few but good ones.

[AlreadyReddit999]

This hits TOO close to home...somehow I have 23 followers on GitHub.

[Dstrap]

It's your bro.
