Just found out that the Gimp alternative “Pinta” shares its name with a rare human skin disease caused by infection with the spirochete treponema carateum (apparently). Which of course is miles better than sharing it with a slur for disabled people, but still not the best SSO.

I’ve never heard gimp used that eay luckily, only the sexual slave fetish thing.
Pinta is more of a paint.NET alternative than a gimp alternative

Also The GIMP is not named after a slur, don’t be ridiculous.
Huh? Which software?
Gimp is a slur apparently
Unfortunately GNU Image Manipulation Program, when shortened to its 4-letter acronym and common name, is also a slur against people with disabilities.
The developers didn’t name it after the slur on purpose, but they also refuse to change it for some reason :/
I always thought it was named after the character from Sex
Thats also the spanish word for a pint!🍻
And a finnish word for surface or coating.
