    This is genuinely how its like to navigate the Linux world as anyone not a cis-het white man who started programming since their teens. So its very accurate in that sense.

      Later in the game, you can come across this news article about a girl that installed Eunux being targeted by an online hate campaign

      spoiler

      The group of young, white, middle-class male virgins who make up the broad spectrum of the Eunux community has launched a hate campaign against a young woman in Alderney City who was discovered to have installed the open source operating system. The girl, who has asked not to be named for fear of an attempt on her life, is being relentlessly flamed in chatrooms by Eunux zealots across the country for having dared to step foot in the male-only world of open source software.

      One disgruntled fanboy, blogging from his parents’ basement in Broker, told the Liberty Tree, “Girls aren’t allowed to touch Eunux. Just like I don’t want to get on a plane with a female pilot. I don’t want some chick messing around with my source code. We deliberately create ugly interfaces and make it as hard as possible to install programs in order to discourage women. First they start drinking beer and now this. Is nothing sacred any more? What next, a female president? I’ve tried speaking to girls in real life but all they do is laugh at me. I hope her kernel explodes.” Many are already drawing parallels between this story and the female plumber who was run out of a San Andreas town last year.
