Idk abt GIMP but hard agree about Gnome. Whenever someone uses a human foot as a logo = certified sex freak.
What the fuck i use foot to walk not sex...
My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.
Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.
And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.
sometimes a footprint represents humanity and isn’t about fucking it….
i’m so happy i didn’t get that foot fetish hardwired in… it seems so silly to me…
sometimes, but in GNOME's case i think it is not intended to be a human foot but rather the foot of a mythological creature (a gnome). note that it has a squashed aspect ratio compared to a human foot, and also has only four toes.
apparently it's also problematic in some cultures: https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/FootAndCulturalIssue
that’s a good point about some cultures seeing a foot the way i would see using a linux distribution with Goatse as a logo….
Can you imagine a distro made in Nepal, using as its logo a symbol of health, commonly seen patterned into gates and doors, displayed in windows, drawn on streets...
could be a little controversial… although maybe they should take the swastika back… take away it’s power the way n-——- has changed meaning…
and sometimes it is!
Or how about 3 naked people in a circle holding hands. And somehow this guy is like one of the least problematic white South African billionaires.
Well, the bar is subterranean
Obviously Tarantino was involved. A little foot fetish never hurt nobody-- right? Right???????
It's a gnome foot though.
shortstack foot fetish with a little bit of dom sprinkled in
Yeh I was gonna say, has to be a gnome foot, thats some bookie shaped foot if it's human.
Guh-nome
This is the correct pronunciation
It's true, but I also can't bring myself to say it!
