I'd be careful with that name/reference. Without implying any bad intent, naming your job scheduler after a female office assistant that being made fun of for being obese isn't a good idea. If the project gets attention, this will get attention.

As explained in the README, is a character from Mortadelo and Filemon[1], she is a office manager and I though that was a good simile to a job scheduler, obviously the intent is not make fun of the fat that she is fat.

I understand this and said that I'm not saying there was any bad intend. I'm just saying that some people will feel offended by this, so if this gets attention there will be people pointing this out.

This makes me wonder why I'm getting downvoted though.

Is it because people don't believe it's right that I point out that people might get offended by this? Or is it more because people don't like that other people get offended by this?

It's likely the combination of the two. And a third option: folks who didn't read what you wrote closely enough and assume that you espouse those views. But to be fair to the first group (who "don't believe it's right that I point out that people might get offended by this"), having a reflex towards censoring topics/names/conversations that might make others uncomfortable is itself problematic IMO. The domain of all-things-that-might-make-others-uncomfortable is vast, and we should have discussions about subjects as they come.

For the record: I think you were genuinely trying to be helpful and don't deserve downvotes.

So do you think that any fictional character that weighs more than X kg should be not be represented anywhere? That is offensive.

Well, where you see a "female office assistant that being made fun of for being obese", Ofelia is no more than a nice character from a very famous Spanish comic, "Mortadelo y Filemón".

Huh, I thought Ophelia from Hamlet.

I assumed the same, figured it did its job then killed itself.

[skeptic2718]

What a time to be alive.

Who is this person you speak of? Google doesn't seem to know anything about a fat office assistant named Ofelia.

It is referenced in the last line of the readme.
