What the hell is wrong with GNU Imp? And a little devil mascot? Problem solved.
yet it’s GIMP YouTube decides to censor
created an image editor
named it GIMP
mascot is a furry face in a black leather mask with a brush in the mouth
is open source community okay?
mascot is a furry face in a black leather mask
That’s what you see?
I think a few Rorschach tests might be in your future.
It’s supposed to be the Gnu logo in a gimp suit (mask)
I don’t see a mask
That face doesn’t even look remotely like a furry that is closer to a boomerang or an actual wolf than a furry.

I love fuck! I can never be bothered creating upstream Git branches when I’ve branched locally, I just type
git pushand it complains there’s no upstream, and then I typefuckand it does it for me.Set push.autoSetupRemote in your gitconfig and it’ll do it first time
There is also a zsh-Plugin for the fuck. That way you can just double hit esc and zsh… uhm… fucks… automatically for you
wat?
Procreate means to reproduce.
The counterpoint references yhe fact that the GNU version is Gimp which is a term also used to refer to a submissive in an extreme fetish related domain.
More traditionally it refers to someone with a limp.
“to procreate” means to reproduce, or breed, in english.
Yeah I get that but the joke seems forced and lame.
There is literally a drawing app called procreate. Nothing about this joke is forced, it’s just a direct observation.
We honestly should rename GIMP. It’s a bad name. I think a new and better acronym would substantially improve brand recognition. Something like:
Free Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging
FUCKBOI
FreeFOSS Utility for Creative Kits Brushes, Overlays, & ImagingYou forgot that for whatever reason we have to have an acronym in our acronym.
FUCKBOI Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging
it’s have to be recursive too.
Like “Wine Is Not an Emulator”
I’m So Meta Even This Acronym
There was a fork that did nothing but replace the name and graphics to GLIMPSE
The gimp oss community is really fucking rabid about NOT EVER changing the name
Probably because they never thought to change it to FUCKBOI.
at least this one’s not an ableist slur, so there’s that!
Honest question, what is the ableist slur being discussed?
TIL I always imagine the guy in the basement of the shop in the movie pulp fiction
who was called that because he was mentally differently abled
How do you come to that conclusion? He was a guy in a full on latex-BDSM suit on a leash, that they kept in a box in the basement.
We don’t learn much about his character or mental ability in the movie. It is much more likely, that he was called a gimp in the BDSM sense, that is also mentioned in the Wiktionary entry that was linked here.
pretty sure that use of the term originated with that exact movie scene.
There’s also a point where the gimp tries to speak and it’s pretty clear he has at least a speech impediment if not a mental disability.
Also sorta funny since one of the best drawing apps for iPad is literally called procreate and agreed
Hey look at that, you were able to describe the joke.
GIMP doesn’t mean anything though (besides for GNU Image Manipulation Program)? Why are you bringing it up?
Yeah, GIMP is great, but its mask feature is just standout. Google “gimp mask” for more information.
I actually only found instructions on GIMP.
And the I changed from normal search to pictures to make your joke work.
That’s the Wiktionary page for gimp. The program is called GIMP. It’s an acronym.
What does the G stand for?
Gay.
It’s the Gay Intersex Marxist Program. Obviously.
I’m not going to play along while you play dumb trying to make a mountain where there’s not even a molehill.
It stands for GNU.
What does the G stand for?
It stands for GNU.
