Your OS as anime-girl

Japanese people are completely insane. At least that’s my theory. And to further back me up, it seems a new phenomenon has developed on Futaba Channel where there exist various cute anime personifications [wikipedia article] of various Operating Systems. To sum it up briefly, it all started when Windows Me was bad, and so she became personified as Me-tan, a mischievous little girl that causes an incredible amount of problems. The rest of the characters soon followed, with the Windows girls often protrayed as sisters. They also have their own personalities and proportions. For example RAM usage is protrayed as breast-size. Windows XP is stacked. While MS-DOS is very shy, because she’s always there just lurking hidden in the corners somewhere. What does scare me, but doesn’t surprise me in the least, is the sheer abundance of hot lesbian XP on 2k action (edit: if only I could link to the picture, but they don’t allow direct links)… and the fact that there are multitudinous H-Games already. While Linux-tan is usually portrayed as a girl with GNU horns on her KDE-Sprocket helmey, with a Gnome-footprint patch on her dress and holding a flags of GCC, GRUB, and LILO. I did not expect to ever come across a three-penised Tux (edit: they don’t allow direct links, but you probably didn’t want to see it anyway :P) with each wang labelled “Portage”, “dpkg”, and “rpm” respectively. I’m not configured for a particular reaction to this startling, shocking imagery. (Although the Windows girls are often sexually assaulted by tentacled bugs… ehehehehehe). I’m confused.
What’s even more awesome are all the comics (called Troubled Windows) and Doujinshi (fan-made comics) that exist for all of it. The scale is simply unbelievable, as there’s even an entire con for this already and I’ve seen various reports of an anime as well. And a few interesting blog posts as well. I think this is simultaneously the coolest and the weirdest thing ever.
That is right fucked up.
Entertaining though.
Still right fucked up.
The other day I had a professor tell that class something about Japan having the highest rate of suicides for kindergarteners. WTF is that supposed to mean!?
It means, if Skrud isn’t part of the solution, he’s part of the problem!
Duff Man is thrusting in the direction of the problem! Oh yeah!
