I think it went like this:

  • Linux is highly customizable
  • customizing or "ricing" your Linux machine became a hobby
  • weebs got into the hobby, infesting the space with anime waifus and other degenerate cartoons
  • some time during the weeb infestation, thigh high socks became a recurring theme
  • gay/trans programmers sarcastically posted themselves in thigh high socks
  • gay/trans programmers who didn't get the sarcasm unironically adopted thigh high socks
  • Rust was invented

So you see, it's just another example of the kind of tragedies that can befall society when sarcasm isn't clearly labeled on the internet.
