I have to agree. Please, everyone, if you're going to engage with this, look at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/3617 and the discussion (and lack thereof) there.

As someone who likes to think that I do have as many "commits/participation" as many others, I would appreciate it if people would focus on the core argument:

It is hard to get people to use this software, who would otherwise benefit, because of their perception of the name, and it's easier to change the name once than change those perceptions every single time.

If you have problems with THAT, I'd love to discuss them, but please leave "SJWism" and whatever out of it - that's not really what's at issue here.

The reason this is important is because in recent times essentially nobodies like to pop out of the woodwork with "ideas" like this. They then like to "shame" people who don't agree with them. There's nothing wrong with expecting people to build up a reputation before suggesting divisive and controversial ideas.

If you do a google search for GIMP you literally get no references to the slur.
