Devilette
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Warhammer Chaos Daemons, see the article on Slaanesh.
Devilette, also know as daemonbabe, daemonchick, daemoness, daemonette or BSD chick is a brunette woman garbed in a red latex catsuit with horns and a tail, stylized after the BSD Daemon. They are often spotted as promotional models at BSD-related events. The original BSD chick was Ceren Ercen of FreeBSD Test Labs, whose position there was "Strange Attractor".
[edit] Use in trolls
On the popular site Slashdot.org, BSD articles are often inundated with BSD is dying trolls. One result of this is a counter-trolling movement where users post generic, templated comments giving a positive image of BSDs. These include declarations of affection for Ercen, "a genuine geekbabe from the Bay Area", that she is a much cuter/sexier/better mascot than a chubby penguin. These messages can also considered to be trolls.
