· Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 20:56:07 @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 They think they’re bravely fighting the PC police (I tried to find a term as outdated as their software 😆).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. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 21:57:43 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. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 23:27:28 @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. |

Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 23:06:23 @mjibrower @petrillic “…3.0 is released!” |
Föderation EN Di 18.03.2025 01:30:11 @crowbriarhexe @mjibrower @petrillic so is the word gimp a problem? |
Föderation EN Di 18.03.2025 01:40:56 @kkavee @crowbriarhexe @mjibrower @petrillic 1 - offensive : a disabled person |
Föderation EN Di 18.03.2025 01:46:18 @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. |
Föderation EN Di 18.03.2025 04:01:07 @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 |
Föderation EN Di 18.03.2025 04:21:00 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 |
