I'm not offended and don't take issues with the use of retard in a non-slang context, but for the naming of a project I think it's inappropriate to use a word that could bring back hurtful memories of harassment that people have potentially endured.
- Jach 9y agoWould you name a project the same as your username?
- foota 9y agoThat's a historical accident. My name in RuneScape when I played as a kid had football in it and I shortened it to foota.

- StavrosK 9y agoThen can we at least postpone the renaming until someone actually complains about it first-hand, rather than "just in case" and on someone else's behalf?
- TeMPOraL 9y agoDon't get anywhere near fire retardants... Seriously, there is a balance to be had. People who went through traumatic events are often offered therapy precisely because you can't reasonably expect the entire world to guess and remove every single thing that can trigger someone's hurtful memories.
