Over 7 million GIMP 3 downloads already <3
@GIMP Imagine if people didn't have to look past the insulting name!
@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 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 Right. They responded like a professional org. I responded like just another person who is treating your opinion with the malice it deserves.

Block me if it bugs you.

@j_s_j @celbri Or you could be more respectful to everyone instead of being an asshole. If you're angry about the name, that doesn't justify your attitude towards others. And it makes you a hypocrite to demand the change of an offensive word when you insult everyone.
@mocte @celbri In case it wasn't obvious, if you think "GIMP" is okay, I am actually trying to be an asshole to you. Without apology.
@j_s_j @celbri Then you don't deserve the respect you demand. You can't have something you don't give, nor something you don't even understand. It's a shame that you have twisted your mind so much.
@mocte @celbri I will have to learn to live with the knowledge I've disappointed you
@j_s_j @celbri And look, gimp has other meanings, in case you didn't know.

@mocte @celbri Literally none of which have anything to do with image manipulation, just like "GIMP" itself has nothing to do with it aside from a strained acronym.

Stop defending this shit. You look like an idiot

@j_s_j @celbri Ironic, but well, we see in others a reflection of ourselves, so it annoys you to see gimp simply because your mind is filled with trash and insults, so you can't see beyond the slur to see the acronym.

@mocte @celbri My dude I've been using GIMP for nearly two decades. You don't know me.

I already invited you to fuck off. Please take the opportunity to do so.

@j_s_j @celbri I don't need to know you to judge your behavior here in the comments and point out your hypocrisy.
