Most of the other bits about "shredded Aryan Germans" and all that isn't though, and is the main topic of the "joke".
Sorry mate I think you may have missed the joke?
I wouldn't say ripped Aryan men is the "main topic" of the joke. The subject of the joke is very clearly the "who cares how it was coded" crowd (referencing those permissive of LLMs). Along with the implication that their "idea" of an ideal human is counter to the fact that many of the best technical professionals (whome they could only aspire to imitate) are often, distinctly, not aligned with that perceived ideal.
See, humor is all about the juxtaposition of novel subjects.
It just doesn't fit with everything else in the community, in my opinion. I'm here for nerdy jokes, harmless laughs, and occasionally poking fun at vibe coders too.
But again, I don't like how autistic, trans, etc. people are positioned as the "opposite" of a "shredded Aryan German", particularly as an autistic person myself. Maybe don't have that in a programming humour community, you know? Just my thoughts though
I'm diagnosed ASD myself. A lot of us on Lemmy are most likely.
I think where I'm getting confused is where we're taking issue with distinguishing "autistic transgender puppygirl" and "shredded Aryan German guy". Those are distinctly, visually, very different things. In order for the joke to land the reader needs to be able to distinguish the contents of the juxtaposition.
I don't think this joke would have landed if the dichotomy being drawn was between "one perfectly valid human being" and "another perfectly valid human being, who has problematic views on the states relationship with the body-politic."
You could remove the reference to autism I suppose but, again, the joke is in the fact that the vibe-coding chud is angry that they are mogged by what they perceive as 'lesser'. For that to work you need to create some homunculus that will represent that person.
