    Idk abt GIMP but hard agree about Gnome. Whenever someone uses a human foot as a logo = certified sex freak.

      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….

        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….

      Obviously Tarantino was involved. A little foot fetish never hurt nobody-- right? Right???

      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.
