- hombre_fatal 7y agoYeah, just seems like maternal guidance to me. People nitpicking the gender of the programmer in a cartoon here is a great example of what I despise about modern tech discourse. The gender of the cartoon programmer isn't even that clear, it's so highly stylized. But I wonder if it was a woman giving another woman a massage instead, they'd be lambasted for pandering to the male fantasy of lesbianism.
