|
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 They think they’re bravely fighting the PC police (I tried to find a term as outdated as their software 😆).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 Di 18.03.2025 01:28:52 @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 |

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 |
|
Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 21:39:03 @petrillic @GIMP thanks for pointing this out. I honestly hadn’t connected the dots until now. Gotta address the ableism |

Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 22:29:37 @Scott_Trakker @petrillic @GIMP I think if you're going to respond to everyone who offers criticism, you should at least write an original reply for each one. It's a little disrespectful imho. |
|
Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 22:32:15 What you wrote is not criticism, but pure negativity. It's not welcome here on Mastodon. |
|
Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 22:34:31 @Scott_Trakker @petrillic @GIMP on the contrary. I was offering a constructive suggestion for improving discourse. I could have simply asked you to spend more time elsewhere on the internet. |
|
Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 22:50:09 @Scott_Trakker @LittleFrank @petrillic @GIMP and you are like a police here, to tell people what they can say on this platform and what not ? |
|
Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 22:57:20 @Edynho @Scott_Trakker @LittleFrank @petrillic @GIMP social control works. GIMP is great thank you |
|
Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 23:05:06 @Scott_Trakker @LittleFrank @petrillic @GIMP Neither is ableism, but that hasn't stopped anyone from publishing a program that uses an ableist slur for decades. Why don't you take your tone policing somewhere else? |

Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 23:38:56 @petrillic @GIMP If you really cared about the GIMP name, you'd be doing something about it. You could fork GIMP, rename it to whatever, set up a download site and see for yourself if anyone really cares about the name. If you cant do it yourself, you could pay someone or raise funds for someone to do it. It isn't all that much work. But no. Instead, all you do is bitch. That leads me to believe that all you really want to do is bitch. |
|
Föderation EN Mo 17.03.2025 23:48:13 @petrillic @GIMP There's a relatively easy fix: they could call it GNU IMP, meaning that the full name remains the same (GNU Image Manipulation Program) and only the offensive acronym is dropped. |
|
Föderation EN Di 18.03.2025 02:46:24 I just pronounce it with a soft G. Problem solved. |
