Jose@GIMP Imagine if people didn't have to look past the insulting name!
Adil Arif@j_s_j 7 million doesn't care
@adilarif 1. You don't know that. 2. You reveal yourself in this comment. 3. No one asked you. 4. Fuck off.
::cel@j_s_j @GIMP Forcing one standard of language is against cultural diversity tho.
Especially, English nowadays is a global language. There are plenty of variation of English, like Singaproean English, Indian English, and so on. I've seen Asian people getting attacked online by (mostly) American for speaking their own variation of English.
Gimp itself has a neutral meaning in Asia, there's no need to force American English language as a global standard.

@celbri @j_s_j it’s enough that people are hurt by the name, and that some organizations, including schools, feel they can’t use GIMP internally for fear of hurting people. It’s not about forcing one standard (and it’s not only a problem in American English).
Thank you, though, for commenting - we welcome all perspectives.
@celbri If you think the name hasn't seriously hindered adoption, you have literally not one clue about how human minds work. It really doesn't matter how little impacts other cultures when it was chosen specifically for its use as an English word.
But you know this. You just want to be a dick. And you succeeded!
@j_s_j Okay friend, I simply tried to discuss by sharing my perspective.
You could say all of that without being rude. The dev literally replied with the same point as you, but thousands time better and more communicative.

@celbri @GIMP @j_s_j Also the word has other meanings, so there's no need to stigmatize it as an insult.
@mocte It's been fun toying with your two brain cells but I'm bored now.
Go ahead and get the last word so you can feel good about yourself 🤗
I hope whatever is driving you to defend such shitty behavior gets dealt with eventually. You'll be happier.
Good luck!
