I've discovered that currently, as of Ubuntu 22.10, Ubuntu distributes a package called "fortunes-off" that is full of homophobia, Hitler quotes, virulent misogyny, racism, and more, for the "fortunes" program

All the text in it is ROT13'd so it doesn't show up on searches. Text pulled from the .deb available live on Universe: https://packages.ubuntu.com/kinetic/fortunes-off

@atomicthumbs it's deeply strange to me the way that we, as a society, bucket sexual content and swear words alongside literal genocide as "offensive", as though they're morally equivalent 🙃
