    :stuff: because i do not use linux, and i do not hate vegans. this meme is implicitly saying something to the effect of 'all non-linux users are pathetic vegan hating bigots who are distracting me from my nice times using linux', which in my case, as a non-linux user who is not a pathetic vegan hating bigot, is not true, in fact it is akin to slander. additionally, in my experience in online communities, and in real life, i have never experienced a windows or mac or other OS user proselytize so intensely as a linux user, so the meme seems to have an entirely counterfactual point - the behavior it attributes to Windows users are in fact more frequent among Linux users. :stuff:

      Okay. Yeah, you might want to go outside or do something else for a while if a meme like this feels like personal slander. It sounds like you’re pretty stressed out.
