I agree that stupid people ruin everything, but generally this statement is made by stupid people. Most people aren't stupid. And no that guy who cut you off in traffic or the girl who fucked up your order or the architect who didn't put the bathrooms in an intuitive place to you, none of these people are stupid. People make mistakes sometimes and sometimes there are very good reasons why things are the way they are. People put mankind on the moon. They created the internet. They made cheese a goddamned aerosol. The stupid people are those willing to write off the whole of humanity even for a joke because of a single mistake, misstep, or misunderstanding. It's all very amusing to feign misanthropy when you're thirteen and trying to get that girl to go with you to My Chemical Romance concert, but it betrays one's own stupidity to complain about all people when one's only contribution to society was working a dead end job and scarfing down Taco Bell between Overwatch matches.
tia is a bunch of self-appointed expert ideologists from /pol/ managing to call out the world's dumbest and least relevant internet leftists in such a way that the leftists actually come off looking more sympathetic and sensible
it's not a company, its a free software project, and not the "supported by billions of dollars of support contracts" kind like some linux variants, its the "run by volunteers in their spare time" kind. that's why they couldn't give a fuck what this person threatens them with, its probably the most amorphous legal entity you can get.
there's precedent for this kind of thing, someone once made a markdown processing library called "upskirt," which couldnt really be ignored because it was best in class. there was some argument over it, the guy was kind of a dick about it, people moved on iirc. people mostly responded by reimplementing it with more tasteful names.
I love this insult because of how hypocritical it is. "You're a bigot, you dirty chechen!" Like, do they hear themselves? Haven't the chechens suffered enough what with the Russians trying to genocide them? Those internet SJWs need to check their privilege and direct their insults towards the people they hate, not random oppressed peoples.
I am eagerly waiting for the time they realize Chechnya is like 95% Islamic. Then they'll finally accept that it's the one true country we should all bow to.
some people were offended, most were just annoyed at being made to say the word "upskirt" in a professional context. software engineering has a maturity problem.

They're using this real, aggressive, in your face threatening tone. it's all just expressing their angry impotence. There's nothing they can do.
Tell their employer they are a key part of the Gimp project team? It's probably part of the reason they got hired!
get some tech dangerhairs on twitter to fork it. Yeah, sorry gimp is not written in javascript or ruby. They're gonna have a hard fucking time even compiling it.
pretend they talked to a lawyer and didn't get laughed out of the room about suing (relative to most suits) broke ass entities like FSF or Gnome.
All that's left is harass their families, and you can't take that back to twitter and brag about it, so they're not going to do it.
If you're this upset about an acronym, you're not going to hand that $50 over before vetting the person to make sure they share all your political beliefs.
“The ability to wade through a technical text, and to understand it, is a privilege. It is a privilige conferred by an education that is available only to members of an elite class ... members of privileged elites are rarely aware of their privileges".

Right, because it's not like the field of software development is filled with self-taught programmers. It's a shame that there is such a scarcity of accessible online resources for learning programming.
I don't know if you're serious or not, but this really is a case of people like that being flat out lazy pieces of shit. I'm not normally one to lean on that kind of accusation, but when it comes to programming, it is one of the most open, accessible professions out there. Hell, I would go as far as to say that a college education is tangential to one's ability as a developer.
