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

    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.

    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

    The implication is not that the German is far-right, but the "who cares how it's coded" guy

    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

    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.

    You sound like you have empirical evidence.
