    Lol, the snowflake right wingers outing themselves in the comments is hilarious. Probably post this kind if stuff daily on 4chan, attacking minorities but can’t take the heat they threw.

    I find this funny.

    Just because the German is shredded and aryan doesn’t mean he’s far-right

    The word aryan is used in a way to increase the punchline of the joke and is a symbol for a vibecode Bro.

      I don’t find this very funny. This is barely about programming, and it isn’t very humorous to position autistic, trans, etc. people as the opposite to shredded “Aryan” Germans.

      You shouldn’t bring up racism and bigotry in goddamn programming humour, even if it is in jest

        You are right. It’s still a meme which uses the image of a buff guy who wouldnt code without ai.

        I guess most lemmings who code are not a buff guy but the trans-puppy.

        Else I don’t understand another angle why some people are offended or otherwise downvote this

    Nobody finds this to be very funny. Next time, maybe don’t bring up eugenics in programmer humour?

      lol theres no eugenics in the meme. Mentioning a ‘shredded aryan’ is NOT eugenics and not even an affirmation of that view. Its quite clearly framed as the out of touch expectation of the nazi, therefore, actually implying that the notion of a shredded aryan coder is: unlikely. So, the opposite of what you are acusing it of.

      tldr: youre misintepreting the meme.

        I did not say it was an affirmation. I did not accuse anybody of being a Nazi, it is obvious that the idea of “shredded Aryan Germans” is ridiculous from the image. I said they mentioned eugenics, not advocate it. My point is that, in my opinion, it isn’t a good joke and pretty off-topic in a programming humour community bar the mention of vibe coders.

        I also don’t like how people who are autistic, trans, etc. are positioned as the “opposite” to shredded “Aryan” Germans, it doesn’t sit right as somebody who is autistic.

          fair, just as long as you also understand that that positioning is in service of ridiculing that positioning itself. Classic satirical technique.

          Also fair thinking its off topic. I dont necessarily agree, but whatevs

      What? Where is eugenics mentioned in the meme?

      I’m genuinely curious, I see no reference to selective breeding in here.

      Straight up I’m not even being deliberately dense, where’s the eugenics?

        The association of “Aryan” Germans with being shredded and people who are trans, autistic, etc. being positioned as the opposite. Eugenics is the idea that some people are genetically “superior” to others, making “Aryan” babies was a big part of it, but that’s the main idea being referenced.

        As somebody who is autistic myself, it doesn’t feel right as a “joke”. Yes, it paints people who believe in that sort of thing like idiots, because they are, but this is programmer humour, jokes should be about programming things! Off-topic and generally unfunny in my opinion.

            Most of the other bits about “shredded Aryan Germans” and all that isn’t though, and is the main topic of the “joke”.

              Sorry mate I think you may have missed the joke?

              I wouldn’t say ripped Aryan men is the “main topic” of the joke. The subject of the joke is very clearly the “who cares how it was coded” crowd (referencing those permissive of LLMs). Along with the implication that their “idea” of an ideal human is counter to the fact that many of the best technical professionals (whome they could only aspire to imitate) are often, distinctly, not aligned with that perceived ideal.

              See, humor is all about the juxtaposition of novel subjects.

                It just doesn’t fit with everything else in the community, in my opinion. I’m here for nerdy jokes, harmless laughs, and occasionally poking fun at vibe coders too.

                But again, I don’t like how autistic, trans, etc. people are positioned as the “opposite” of a “shredded Aryan German”, particularly as an autistic person myself. Maybe don’t have that in a programming humour community, you know? Just my thoughts though

      The image is from Invincible.

      I think the point of the meme is that vibe coders are right-wing extremists or something like that.

        A lot of them yes, though there are exceptions. You can find the odd “neurospicy” trans person using AI, though most are instead cis neurotypical people, most of which suddenly become less empathetic towards others the moment they start using genAI.
