Why would someone want this? It seems a bit of an odd target.

  Adobe and Autodesk might have a conflict of interest.

    Autodesk maybe, but Adobe? I don't see anything on their product portfolio like Blender. Substance Painter maybe? But when it comes to ease of use and feature completeness, texture painting in Blender is a very rudimentary tool. At any rate, taking down the Blender website wouldn't help them I don't think.

      Adobe was corporate-level sponsor for .. wild guess, around one year maybe?

  Maybe they got an answer at the forums they didn't like? Some political viewpoint expressed somewhere they didn't like? "For teh lulz"? Who knows. Cunts will do cunt things on account of being a cunt. Often things are complex, nuanced, multi-faceted, and hard to understand. Sometimes they're not and it's almost shockingly simple.

    The world is a big place and the c word is considered offensive even when not used directed at a women. Worth refraining for using it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunt https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunt

      You might be being insensitive to Australian culture where its just a normal word for them. Might be trying to force your cultural norms onto foreign countries.

        As an Australian: this is about as true as the idea that we all ride kangaroos to work and live in constant fear of dropbears. That word in Australia is just as offensive as anywhere else, and I wish people would stop perpetuating the misconception that it's fine. It's certainly not "part of our culture" or "just a normal word", and it's a little ironic that you would call out GP for "forcing cultural norms onto foreign countries" while in the same comment spreading falsehoods about Australian cultural norms. Hard though it may be to believe, we're generally fairly civil down here.

          >That word in Australia is just as offensive as anywhere else, and I wish people would stop perpetuating the misconception that it's fine. That is completely untrue. You may not like it, plenty of Australians don't especially upper class people, but it is nowhere near as offensive here as it is in America. In America it's a full on slur that is never socially acceptable in any context. Here at worst it's a vulgar way to say something unless it's specifically directed at a woman (if it's directed at a woman in anger it is generally treated the same as Americans treat it), and at best it is actually just a normal thing to say to your friends. "Are you cunts ready or not?" is a very normal thing for working class Australians to say to their friends, same as "This cunts not like that, leave him alone" or "Are you serious cunt? You were gonna eat them all?" or "What are you cunts up to?". It can also be said in a non-endearing way even to people who aren't women, it has a pretty similar word distribution to "mate" (not completely identical, "My cunts and me wanna buy a ticket please" makes zero sense). Mate can be a very offensive word to use in context, or a completely benign word. Cunt is similar, it just has more offensive use cases than mate does.
