Its a catch all punch down cliche for anything where people are trying to improve themselves or the world around them. See crossfit or Linux as other major examples. Its often that they see someone being passionate about something and mocking them for it.

I mean, if we're going by the comic, they dont know what living humans look like either.

Many years of indoctrination. When Google glass was introduced, it was just 'a neat idea'. Now it's a product, and therefore it's clearly more trustworthy because someone is profiting from it. (/s)
The example is that people mock Linux users with the phrase "How do you know someone uses Linux? Don't worry, they'll tell you!"
That says nothing about how Linux users treat others, only how they are used as fodder for people with low self-esteem.
