But their spread of influence was not only limited to the Pride community as many others also claim the cozy footwear as their own. One such collective being the programming community! Where their more practical aspects have been put to good use by the many furries mashing away at their keyboards for the better part of a decade. It is likely no understatement to say that most of software development has been carried on the back of this unlikely hero...

More recently however, the garments have become an icon in a rather different area of the internet, the LGBTQ+ community! Where they have become beloved by people regardless of sexuality or background. Owing mostly to the fact that they come in a whole host of colours and styles, their inherent customisability is a trait many favour as it makes them adept at showcasing one's true/ideal self. This trait has helped the thigh height socks to achieve the status of a true trans icon.

Did you know that unisex thigh height socks ("programmer socks"/"thigh highs") present multiple benefits to those who spend a lot of time at a desk or sitting down? Their tensile and form fitting nature actually improves the flow of blood through the legs and body as-well-as providing good insulation against the cold! The fact that they are stylish and unobtrusive has made them incredibly popular with e-boys and e-girls alike, with their body hugging comfort and "textbook cuteness" crowning them as a cultural icon of the late 2010s and early 2020s.

Their sudden meteoric rise in popularity can be credited to the equally impressive rise of Japanese animated cartoons knows as "anime" and it's surrounding "otaku" culture, an otaku being an individual who is interested or often obsessed with anime and its surrounding culture. Often adorned by women and men in the shows, they are often used to give the character an effeminate flair or to mark those with girly qualities.
