I've used Gimp for 15 years and never once has being handicap or disabled reference crossed my mind while using this software until you just brought it up. You should reconsider reaching so hard.
- mastazi 6y agoIs English your first language? I ask because I didn't consider this a problem until 10-ish years ago, when I migrated to a mostly English-speaking country and many people I would be talking to, would be aware of that meaning.
- BenjiWiebe 6y agoI'm a native English speaker (USA) and I've never made the connection either. I've actually never heard anyone use the word 'gimp'. And I've been aware of GIMP for 10ish years.
- yesenadam 6y agoAustralia here. I've never knew the negative meanings the word has until I read this page. It's bizarre to read here people assuming everyone knows it's offensive. As opposed to "git", which I used in school to mean an idiot, an annoying person. A "github" sounds like where those people gather.. I use and love GIMP. Also, I learnt it while my computer was set to a language I was learning (Spanish). I didn't understand 95% of the menu item words when I started. So, hearing people saying it's hard to use (in English) is also surprising. :-)
