> PC crusades
It's not a "crusade" in any sense. It's one issue on a GitLab that someone decided to link over here (not one of the people who made the issue, I think). It is about "political correctness" only in that it's genuinely hard to get some people to even consider using this free software because, and ONLY because, of its name.
I think you should rethink your idea of a crusade if you think this is what that word means.
- flukus 7y agoThis is hardly an isolated event, it's not just a single issue on a single project. > It is about "political correctness" only in that it's genuinely hard to get some people to even consider using this free software because, and ONLY because, of its name. People that vain will find something else to dislike about it.

- flukus 7y agoWhere did I say anything about a conspiracy or someone trying to destroy open source? The crusade is to shame people into not using language that a minority of the world deems inappropriate, it's not confined to open source. It's definitely not a conspiracy, the people that push things like this onto other people are obnoxiously open and loud about it.
