so far "GIMP" and "Discord" have been mentioned as not being socially suitable (to some people). we can no long address anything about these packages or even provide them for download since their mere presence is deemed unsuitable by some people. Sure. In the case of things that are outside our control, those things aren't going to get renamed. Being angry on the openSUSE MLs about that isn't going to accomplish anything.
I'm not angry about those packages or their names, and certainly I'm not asking for the names to be changed, or the packages to be voided. Hey, we we still resolve "http://rtfm.opensuse.org/" and I supported the name as a cute joke. In fact, it is the contrary, it disgusts me the name was "removed".
That said, nobody should be disgusted because somebody declares their opinion that the name choice is idiotic. There is no ofense intended.
Whether it's intended or not isn't really material. Whether it offended is.
And if it does, those with the responsibility of deciding "do we leave something that we've been told is offensive or do we change it" is ultimately up to them. But unless someone says "hey, you know what? That's actually offensive to me" - they're not likely to know.
Transparency. It's good for all of us.
Must be a cultural issue. In Spain saying that the name of an object is idiotic is not considered offensive. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.1 (Legolas))
