I have come here to state that the very name of this piece of software to me is offensive to the degree that I have never from my first perceiving it years ago to this day even remotely considered using it or even read its docs. The insensibility of it popping up in times like these and branding itself with the words "freedom fighters" is staggering and disturbing. I want to encourage the community to make it clear to the owners of said software in no uncertain terms that their frivolous use of words is at best immature and unreflected, that the continued use of even metaphorical language like "gun[s] for fighters" will be seen as a glorification of violence, and has no place among people whose endeavor is the peaceful, democratic exchange of ideas.
