Glimpse fork of GIMP is proof how sensitive we became online, who gives a shit if GIMP is offensive word in some language? I'm pretty sure that its devs didn't want to offend anyone, this is just stupid
@trwnh
I'm against spreading of stupidity among people because I care about them, I can't explain you this enough.
@nikolal is it really that "stupid" to say "hey maybe we shouldn't name our program after a slur", or "maybe some people are unable to use a program with such a hurtful name"?
@trwnh
There are 7k+ languages, its stupid to change well established name of good product to something else because some of those 7k+ languages find it offensive
@nikolal the language is english. but also, the language is not relevant; what is relevant in language is how your words are understood. there is no reason to keep a bad name. there is *especially* no reason to keep a bad name that is hurting other people because of how bad it is.
@blacklight447 @nikolal a lot of people with physical disabilities would disagree.
@trwnh
I don't think that even 1% of disabled people is offended by name GIMP aka GNU Image Manipulation Program
