Plural and not human, don’t refer to us as human in any way, we aren’t.
Never tell us what we’re feeling, why we’re doing something or what we are etc.
Bigots fuck off, you’re being ignorant assholes.
Ask more questions, assume less.


Wat ._.


Thank you.
Not sure I necessarily agree everything about him is anarchist, but I admit that’s some compelling evidence.


I am an anarchist, anarchists are against hierarchy, that’s what the word means.
He had the power to dismantle hierarchy, he should have used it.
Edit: Good to know he did fight those folks though, but if you’re not at least trying to dismantle the systems that created them, then you’re not actually an anarchist.
Anarchists want to get rid of the systems of control, power and hierarchy which cause the problems in the first place, not merely to continously fight the ‘bad guys’ but do nothing about them being created.


Okay, sure…
But he also didn’t try to dismantle the systems that made folks fight in the first place nor the hierarchies on any of the planets etc he lived on/interacted with, and his close intimate relationships didn’t seem that anarchist.
So maybe closer than some but didn’t go far enough.


an anarchist
Genuinely interested in how this conclusion was arrived at.


Thanks! Didn’t notice the s and the b were the other way round!


Books such as dictionaries (or dictionary websites), or we ask friends etc who speak those language
Edit: Glosbe is also a good option as it’s translated by actual people, not machine learning rubbish.


Did you have a look at the wiki?


may is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.


To be fair, they were not given enough time before the abuse and harassment happened.
If that didn’t happen it is likely they would have changed and improved more.


Yes, they did actually change things technically. Thanks for clarifying 🙂


If they did change stuff technically whcih wouldn’t be adressed otherwise, then I don’t see a reason. Sounds like bad actors.
I don’t understand what you mean here, could you please explain again?

“let’s fork it for the sole purpose of rebranding”
That wasn’t the only thing they did, the legitimately wanted to fix a lot of problems with the GNU Imp too.
so I absolutely understand why people would be against this
Nobody deserves harassment and abuse for changing the name of something.


Perhaps when the time comes to fork the project we can avoid a slur as a name? That would be nice.
Sadly this was already tried and the developers of the fork were abused and harassed as foss and tech obsessives hate being called out for things and folks solving the problem themselves.


Well, it is still considered that by disabled people and that is who really matters in all this.
Until they drop the name, it’ll continue being considered unprofessional and not in good standing with those of us who care about disabled people, especially if we are disabled ourselves.


GIMP is a slur for people with disabilities, therefore it isn’t a name many professional artists, nor those that care about ableism will like.


Krita is better and doesn’t have a non-professional, ableist name.


It’s a great program, but my goodness their online interface for entering actual track and record information is ridiculously difficult to use and their rules for titles etc are bad.
Thanks so much for explaining!
