took me a while to figure out what you were even responding to:

> Not another cute, pink app. drip. is designed with gender inclusivity in mindful

so a FOSS community should bimboify their app because your friend wants her data pinkwashed more than she wants her data safe? sounds like a her problem but she could always fork herself

Why would a pink theme count as bimbofication? Because it's associated with femininity? And anything feminine is immediately "bad" by association?

If Drip had a pink theme, I'd use it (albeit I'm fond of their current design, too!).

My friend isn't a developer; on the contrary, she's pretty tech illiterate. She has very little patience for testing 10 different apps. I think it would be possible to have two themes: a neutral one, and a pink and cute one.
or, like I suggested, allow custom ones. I know a trans guy who would think a shark themed period app is pretty cool (he calls it his shark week)
