"political correctness" is not innocuous thing. It drains the ideas and the energy of those who are indignated by some aspects of our world. These people should fight to change the world and they just change words. It is easier to fight on the symbolic level than in the real world. And in the same time the world goes on drifting as symbols will not stop it. You could have expected that these Glimpse "symbolic heroes" would have invest time and energy to promote that people in the US do not use the word "gimp" anymore... Or even better they could have dedicated their life to help the disabled. Nope they found it more useful to rename a Photoshop-like program... It is the matter with the US so-called left. They are totally useless.

No, this is literally a completely innocuous thing and people are bent out of shape over it and acting exactly like the stereotypical leftists they complain about and it's hilarious.

  it sounds like this is the only idea you want to express and without explaing it. Well stick with it and have a good day pal ;-)

    You expected me to take your brick-post of a rant seriously and take time to engage in thoughtful debate with someone whose thesis is that American leftists are "useless," and that the Glimpse team are somehow hypocrites for not engaging in some kind of active, real-world activism when forking a software project? No, sorry... I'm just here to ridicule people like yourself and the energy being expended here on virtue signaling outrage.

      "I'm just here to ridicule people like yourself" Glad to see that you found a goal in your life :-) Again, have a good day pal.

Have you considered that forking an important piece of software so the name is literally not an ableist slur is, in fact, helping the disabled?
- Pedrit0 7y ago
  Well what would help the disabled is that no one use this kind of words when talking to or about them. And maybe this is the first priority.

Furthermore, if it "drains [your] ideas and energy" when people ask you to not be a dick, then I don't think anyone really cares that your clearly amazing ideas aren't being represented. Go away.

  Someone is loosing his temper ? Calm down and keep polite: You will be better at the end of the day. Have a nice day.

      I am sorry that you took this "useless" for an insult (I am left-leanin myself...) as it was just an analysis, no more.

Oh dear. All this because someone asked you to use the correct pronoun or something? Nobody's arguing against real change, but I stand by my point: the people complaining about "political correctness" are usually thin-skinned.

  "Oh dear. All this because someone asked you to use the correct pronoun or something?" ? I do not get it. Maybe it is an american reference ? What do you mean ? (just curiosity, not a rethoric question)
