I’ll still use it. The title is just a joke about being called out by a boykisser meme
Tooooo many arch using femboys, why not gentoo? Or is that just for cracked eggs? :3
No clue what your issue is, but if your standard for OSS is not being associated with furries, I’ve got bad news for you.
Furries keep the internet running.
Nah I’m fine with furries. Except the boykisser one (as a joke)
Updated the post with the explanation. The joke didn’t land
So you’re OK with furries as long as they’re not doing gay shit? 🤨
This is a good Christian household! The bible said no to boy kissing. But it said nothing bad about dressing up as a fox and fucking your partner who’s dressed as a cow.
As long as they’re dressed like a girl cow.
I think I need some context, what is a boykisser meme?
Here, here!
Even with the explanation, I still don’t get it either. I have some questions:
- What is a boy kisser meme?
- What is good or bad about being called out in reference to one?
- Who was doing the calling out or being called? Was OP called out by Krita, Krita by OP, or some third party calling out one or the other? Or maybe a third party was called out by Krita?
- What does this image have to do with Krita or the other OSS projects in the background?
Feel free to assume that I am old and not hip to what kids are doing these days.
- A boykisser meme is a male furry rabbit(?) that kisses boys. It is usually paired with the caption “You like kissing boys don’t you?” in a teasing tone, like this:
-
This is a good thing. However, the joke relies on the sarcastic nature of “being caught” liking boys. In an attempt to clear his name, OP claims it’s time to uninstall Krita.
-
The “calling out” is done by the boykisser. Instead of liking boys, the meme is modified to say open-source software. Thus, the boykisser “criticises” the reader, and by extension, OP, of liking FOSS software.
-
The boykisser himself doesn’t usually look like this (see the first image attached). He was modified in order to resemble Krita’s mascot, Kiki. Attached below is Kiki’s reference sheet, from the official KDE site for the mascot.
The eyes, the makeup around them, and the ears are pulled from Kiki’s design and put onto the boykisser.
If you have any lingering questions, or I misunderstood the joke, please don’t hesitate to tell me.
Ah! Thank you for the detailed explanation so I can properly enjoy this joke.

Hello, 6 month Manjaro user
Why does everyone hate Manjaro so much? It works just fine (for me at least)
Are there better organization backed easy to use arch derivatives?https://github.com/arindas/manjarno
And that’s not even up to date anymore. They let their SSL cert expire sometime in the last month. Again.
The real problem with it is that it’s an attempt to maintain a "stable"ish downstream set of repos to give an arch-like experience, which is something that requires constant effort and diligence. Things the current devs do not provide.
If they can’t even get automated certificate renewal set up (something that is extremely trivial to do), after years of that being a meme, what else are they not taking seriously?
And at that point, what is the appeal of Manjaro? Why not just use Arch?
Being out-of-the-loop, what did Krita do?

I imagine it’s related to how some neckbards on the internet are apparently extremely salty that Krita currently has a “furry” as a mascot, created by Tyson Tan.
Why the fuck wouldn’t Krita have a furry mascot? That’s their entire userbase there.
I have no idea. There was some dweeb on this very instance going around spamming a Krita related thread complaining about it.
“My God, what are all these furries doing using an open source art program?”
Like, dude dove in the yiff pile headfirst and then had the audacity to act surprised.
Thank you people for telling me.

Is that an ASCII version of the praying hands emoji?!?
