| Peepee poopoo. Maybe your cultural values aren't my cultural values. Maybe you need to consider who you are excluding by suggesting that using a curse word is unacceptable? Cursing has a long tradition in lower economic class culture, in some minority cultures, in queer culture, heck in mainstream cultures worldwide we say "shit", etc. You want them all to conform to your one view of how professionals should be? The curse word isn't directed at you, it isn't directed at anyone you know, or even at a person. No, I think maybe I'd rather live in a world where people are colorful, use language that's authentic to them, and include more people in the dialog. |

| >>Maybe you need to consider who you are excluding by suggesting that using a curse word is unacceptable? I am. Thus the complaint. I would think the general audience here is of a higher caliber than low-class cultures whose values and education can't rise above profanity. |

I've encountered this attitude before (my octogenarian dad loses his mind when I say "fuck", which I do many times daily), but there's really nothing behind all the pearl clutching - sometimes people curse, and that's Just Fine. | |

My person in deity "enshittification" is a technical term of art around here, and "Gimp" is both a popular graphics software and a sexual fetish term. No one besides children and people with low emotional IQ care about such things. | | |

| > Cursing has a long tradition in By and large the hacker news moderators and commentariat have demonstrated that they do not welcome those cultures here. |

| Cursing in a comment is fine. Expecting people to use a tool, perhaps daily, named after a curse word is different. |
| |
| ▲ | causesothere 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | No one is expecting anyone to use a tool. Someone is offering a tool. Fork it and rename it. What a load of nonsense "expect". | | |
