this is just stupid. like oh my god how dare they to use name thst is also tied to bdsm. it might just be me but I have never thought about the wrong gimp then talking about gnu image manipulation program. also it's an acronym that works
My IQ continually dropped while reading this summary and anyone that knows me would tell you that I can't afford that.
Agreed, it's such a poor summary of the article that I can't tell if it's an intentional strawman argument.
Those points are addressed in the article. It's not an issue for a lot of people, but it's still an issue.
Everything is an issue if you try hard enough. Feel free to fork and rename if you’re not happy. You seem to have a lot of time to waste.
I think the
part is the problematic one, not the BDSM connotations. imagine if it was named Functional Advanced Graphics Generating Opensource Tool in the 90s and they refused to change the name because "it was different times back then oh and we don't want to sterilise language".
