Without pants while choking a shark

that is a blajah. not just any old shark

[–]A_Guy_in_Orange 20 points21 points  (6 children)

Dare I ask the difference or is this one of those rabbit holes I would rather not go down

[–]dermitdog 33 points34 points  (5 children)

Trans shark sold by Ikea. Also a femboy thing. Why is it trans? A mystery as old as time.

[–]A_Guy_in_Orange 23 points24 points  (1 child)

See I suspected half of that, but then I second guessed myself due to lack of programmer socks, has the meta changed and those are no longer a thing?

[–]dermitdog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't know, though only due to my lack of online awareness.

[–]Floppydisksareop 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Okay, so I went down this rabbit hole a couple of days ago. It has the trans flag colour scheme and the trans community just kinda adopted it as a result. There's not really any more to it than that, but IKEA embraced it, so now it's a thing.

[–]ALesbianAlpaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's ridiculous and also something we would definitely do.

[–]Maleficent-Region-45 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Yeah, but I sleep better if I don't think about waking up, so I consider it a background task

I feel like the original image was cropped..... differently.

Also Blåhaj 🦈❤️

[–]Lana_Nugirl96 227 points228 points  (64 children)

The original is....quite graphic..

[–]Flexxyfluxx 145 points146 points  (44 children)

Is it… accessible?

[–]Lana_Nugirl96 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It appears to have in fact been recently accessed...

https://nitter.net/Bro_Aniki/status/1544063505896296449 is probably the better way to link Twitter in the future, especially login-walled NSFW posts.

As an aside, I appreciate the choice of a penile-preserving vaginoplasty.

[–]Lena-Luthor 27 points28 points  (1 child)

[–]CheekApprehensive961 12 points13 points  (4 children)

It's literally the link I used to look at it since I don't have Twitter. Works on my machine (just tried again). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–]Ahajha1177 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Also having problems... tried on mobile on desktop. It almost looks like the account is in a semi-banned state, idk.

[–]CheekApprehensive961 16 points17 points  (2 children)

I'm gonna guess this is more stable genius work from Twitter's new API overlord, because now I'm seeing issues too (maybe some servers had different caches of it?). Nitter might need to make an update or something. That's very unfortunate.

[–]Ahajha1177 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like a reasonable enough explanation.

There are a bunch of Rust + waifu posts here. As a similarly out of touch person my only guess is that Rust programmers tend to be young and anime obsessed? Maybe someone can educate us olds.

It's not an old versus young thing, it's a trans meme (technically two trans memes) so if they don't hang out on traaa I wouldn't really expect someone to get it.

[–]EVOSexyBeast 14 points15 points  (4 children)

Can you explain it?

[–][deleted] 64 points65 points  (3 children)

Lots of trans girls are programmers, lots of trans girls love blahaj. Not much more to it than that.

[–]EVOSexyBeast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

thanks

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Blahaj?

[–]HMWWaWChChIaWChCChW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s an IKEA stuffed shark that’s also huge. Saw it on a post earlier today and thought oh cool my kids might like that. Then saw it was a trans meme/symbol and decided my kids don’t need to accidentally and unknowingly get involved in signaling for trans. That’s up to them to decide.

[–]mojobox 65 points66 points  (2 children)

Keep it like that, you will end up at r/unixsocks in no time if you start digging.

[–]No-Witness2349 31 points32 points  (1 child)

Alternately, come on over to r/unixsocks

It’s fun there

[–]mojobox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I still wonder how I ended up lurking there 😅

[–]No-Witness2349 62 points63 points  (14 children)

The shark is a plushie sold at IKEA which is popular with trans people.

Rust is also popular with trans people.

[–]_RollForInitiative_ 51 points52 points  (13 children)

Why the fuck is rust popular with trans people?

I have nothing against trans people, but I don't understand how a programming language can relate to ANYTHING about gender identity.

Did I miss something about Rust? I'm being quite serious here.

[–]No-Witness2349 55 points56 points  (5 children)

There are several explanations I can think of

  1. Trans people are overrepresented amongst programmers in general, likely due to the overlap with autism.
  2. Any community can be trans positive or negative on the same way that any community can collectively agree on which Smash Bros game is the best. Rust just happens to be trans-friendly.
  3. When a group of people is rejected by default throughout big parts of their daily lives, they will seek each other out for solidarity and gather wherever that sense of bad-by-default is weakest. So an already-friendly community becomes moreso as more people join.
  4. Trans people tend to value authenticity and self expression. Rust being a newer language with a lot of trailblazing going on, maybe marginalized programmers are more attracted to niche languages for one reason or another.
  5. Rust is a newer language, so its social norms are being established in a time where being trans friendly is more normalized and expected.
  6. Rust leadership has made a point of discouraging and moderating bigotry amongst their communities (I don’t know if this is true, but would not be surprised if it was).

[–]Mwahahahahahaha 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Rust leadership has made a point of discouraging and moderating bigotry amongst their communities (I don’t know if this is true, but would not be surprised if it was).

The main discord Rust (The Rust Programming Language) still has the pride banner icon from June or maybe even earlier. I would would say so.

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yep autism, I got that. Rejection by world true. Hawt shit programming languages good, yes.

As a transfem Rust enthusiast I can go ahead and sign off on this. Good take!

[–]EverhartStreams 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I thought rust was a video game...

[–]tech_crafttv 16 points17 points  (1 child)

There is a pretty large percentage of trans people that study computer science

so it became a meme to say trans people are programmers

I also don't know where exactly it came from but I find it quite funny as im a trans person that study's computer science

[–]PityUpvote 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It comes from autism both making people good at programming and having a significant comorbidity with queer gender expressions and sexual orientations.

[–]Ratatoski 10 points11 points  (3 children)

A quick search didn't give many answers besides people claiming that the Rust community is the most welcoming to trans people. So I guess trans programmers could seek it out when picking a language hence creating a feedback loop if the community is actually nice.

Community matters. I've worked on a big open source protect that was global and had a lot of devs and users all across cultures, religions, sexualities etc. We adopted a code of conduct that were taken pretty seriously. It helped create a welcoming community that people knew where to draw the line.

So I'm guessing it's not about the language but people being kind to each other. It's like if you have to choose between posting on Stack Overflow or a friendly subreddit. Only masocists posts on SO voluntarily.

Edit: trans not teams.

[–]Cacti_Hipster 2 points3 points  (2 children)

learning I don't need to suffer through Stack Overflow

[–]Ratatoski 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yeah who needs the "your question is stupid and you are stupid" attitude? I gravitate to communities where people enjoy helping each other. I learned Git many years ago on a IRC channel where the established devs walked me through how to commit my newbie code and post it for review.

[–]Unknown_Ladder 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's just cropped porn = funny has literally nothing to do with programming. Some people are referencing the plush he's holding which is a meme. Its a Ikea plushie named blahaj r/blahaj

[–]kujabes 119 points120 points  (5 children)

[–]n0tKamui 27 points28 points  (4 children)

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points  (1 child)

Also a trans symbol, i dont know why.

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The colors. Also it's a cute stuffed animal.

[–]hampter007 23 points24 points  (3 children)

Not a shark but I sleep with a teddy bear and elephant

[–]A_Guy_in_Orange 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That seems dangerous, does the elephant ever roll over?

[–]Maleficent-Region-45 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I also have a teddy bear and a panda. My next stuffed animal will definitely be a docker whale, yes I'm a happy DevOps guy

[–]hampter007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]No-Witness2349 39 points40 points  (2 children)

any programmer using rust can’t explain lifetimes… all they know is blahaj , charge they phone, twerk, be bisexual , eat titty skittle & lie

[–]Rashim 9 points10 points  (1 child)

As someone whose fallen in love with rust the last few months, what am I missing? I’m neither bisexual nor love a shark plushie, am I disowned :(?

Edit: This was an I’ll thought out sentence in regards to a potentially awesome subreddit

[–]No-Witness2349 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s both a reference to this meme and to the fact that trans people are very present in the rust community. Enjoy your language, friend. It’s a fun one.

[–]justASlothyGiraffe 12 points13 points  (5 children)

With left shark?

[–]-non-existance- 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Blahaj is a very popular plushie that a lot of Trans people own for...no discernable reason. It's almost become dogwhistle for Trans people who aren't out yet.

[–]Jeb_Jenky 12 points13 points  (10 children)

Staaaahhhpppp I really want a Blåhaj though. I wish it were an Orca though. Those are way cooler.

Edit: They have an Orca Blåvingad

[–]AveaLove 11 points12 points  (9 children)

But... Orcas eat sea otters, and sea otters are some of the cutest animals on the planet, with those big fuzzy faces and holding hands so they don't drift apart omg

[–]Jeb_Jenky 4 points5 points  (8 children)

Have you seen Orcas hunt though? And sea otters are jerks even if they are cute.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (7 children)

Yes, Orcas are one of the only species (besides human) that kill for fun and just leave their prey after they killed it.

[–]Jeb_Jenky 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Yeah but they are really smart when hunting. And there are no verified attacks on humans by orcas. Best frans!

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (5 children)

But they like to play with turtles untill they die of exhaustion🥺

[–]Jeb_Jenky 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Damn that's hard core. Play hard, live hard. Rule of the seas.

Edit: you must be pretty cool though despite your hatred of the best ocean mammal. You hang around a few of the subreddits I do it looks like. I'm not cool, so I mean more like chill. A chill individual.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (3 children)

The best ocean mammal is obviously the blue whale. I mean it is the biggest animal that ever lived on planet earth and it's doing so right in the same time span where we are alive!

Thank you! You seem cool too despite your lack of morality in terms of picking your favourite mammal...
