I'll still use it. The title is just a joke about being called out by a boykisser meme

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.

    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.

    Nah it's not furries. It is just the boykisser meme that is often made to call out a person that may or may not be in the closet and mock them. It mostly conveys itself as rage bait / just being annoying.

    So if the krita mascot starts saying stuff like that, that's a valid reason to not continue using the software.

    I do like the boykisser meme, but I'm just playing into the joke

    Is it about Krita being on steam not for free?

    If I’d use krita on regular basis I’d be happy to support the devs. Also, the license is the same as always - it’s open source.

    Why is on steam? To use it on a steam deck?

    so you can pay to support them, just like how goblin tools is on the app store

    From what I understand, most of Krita's development budget comes from income on Steam, with fund.krita.org being a smaller slice. Krita would effectively be in maintenance mode if they didn't have money to pay regular developers and maintainers.

    You can still just get it for free on the website.

    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.

    I mean, it cured my addiction to pirated Cracked software (and countless hour of cleranup from virus and malware), so, yeah.

    And when you have to crack a newer version (because the old can't work on your $os) it's all bloated up.

    The only thing I don't like about Krita is the color picker but I'm sure you can change that so I'm just lazy.

    I honestly don't understand people beefing with people they don't know personally. Like, sure, I'm not the biggest fan of furries, but hey, you do you, I like animals but just not like that.

    Not using software because people you don't know like something you don't like????? So stupid. Be you, be proud.

    (I'm speaking generally, not directly to you op, btw)

    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:

    1. What is a boy kisser meme?
    2. What is good or bad about being called out in reference to one?
    3. 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?
    4. 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.

    1. 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:

    21930

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    21900

    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.

    It's meant to look like Krita's mascot, Kiki.

    Take notice of her ears and her eyes.

    KDE's official site about Kiki, from where I sourced the image.

    Kiki the Cyber Squirel, often just called Kiki, is Krita's mascot. We chose a squirrel because β€œkrita” means β€œsquirrel” in Albanian.

    The top details are actually her ears. Picture attached in case you've never seen a squirrel before.

    Because why is it time to uninstall Krita?
    Krita is an excellent open source project.
