@petrillic They’re proud of it. They think they’re bravely fighting the PC police (I tried to find a term as outdated as their software 😆). Srsly, there are so many better alternatives now--I can’t imagine why anyone still uses it.

@mjibrower @petrillic

They spent thousands of hours on this release and this is were you come up with? Your comment is very disrespectful. Please visit some other parts of the internet.

@Scott_Trakker @petrillic Deliberately using a name that is an ableist slur is more disrespectful. And continuing to harass people who call it out is obnoxious.

@ziacik @mjibrower @Scott_Trakker @petrillic I may be new to this topic or just dont fully understand the problem with the language here. I'm just curious what is wrong with the name

@mjibrower @petrillic “…3.0 is released!”
Me: *checks* *name is still a slur* not interested.

@crowbriarhexe @mjibrower @petrillic so is the word gimp a problem?

@tankgrrl @crowbriarhexe @mjibrower @petrillic ah I see. I may live oversea now but English is still my second language. I actually never heard the word gimp being used in other context other than the software.

@kkavee @tankgrrl @crowbriarhexe @mjibrower @petrillic yup, most people have stopped using ableist slurs, but [edit: a sizeable fraction of] the maintainers of this project take pride in it for some reason

@kkavee

Same happened to me, but the day I learned that word is a slur, I understood that is wrong, and their unwillingness to change means I cannot use nor recommend that software
