Debian addressing the most important package issue right now

    In this case, I think it's ok to remove it. Webob would be good, so I guess the name was chosen intentionally.

    @Scade nope waist of time. Creators can name there creations whatever they want. If boob is offensive than guess they have their work cut out for them at the butcher shops. Damn all that chicken BREAST...

    @hjk101 nailed it man

    @hjk101 Sure, you can do that. I won't be offended.
    But if you name your product boob or penis I won't take you seriously and I won't use your product in a professional environment, which Debian is.
    Also, the question is rather if someone does want to offend than if someone is offended.

    @Scade but weboob doesn't seems like that offensive or harassing

    @AhmadIshaq I agree. But Debian has to ask if it fits a professional environment and if the name was chosen to offend or to provocate. My personal answer to this questions would be no and don't know.

    That's just fucking stupid. What's wrong with boobs? They're the most beautiful, gorgeous thing! Small boobs, large boobs, handful, whatever you're into, they're amazing! Also, how is the use of Christmas balls supposed to be an "offensive logo"? Look, here's another offensive kind of text - ( . Y . )! Let's completely ban everyone from typing that because it's SO OFFENSIVE!!! Fucking SJW dipshits.

    @hjk101 nice use of waist there btw 😏

    @Scade well nothing stops you from not using it in a professional environment, right? There's plenty of nonprofessional uses of Debian where one probably couldn't care less what the tool's called, as long as it serves the purpose. And even in professional environments, given that this tool is for backend webpage parsing, I bet that the people that'll see this being used aside from the sysadmin (who'll probably get a chuckle out of it, I mean I certainly would) can be counted on a single hand. Does it even matter?

    What's next for the SJW's, making esoteric languages like PUBERTY (fap fap fap) and frameworks like Penis.js illegal? Fucking hell, let the people that keep the ones and zeroes in place have their fun, would ya? Fucking cunts.

    @Scade even if it was, what's the problem?? Why is everything remotely related to females "sexist" nowadays??
  • 2
    @Snob due to the feminist movement 😅

    @AhmadIshaq Sad but true.. No man on earth would be offended about a package named after a male body part. Just those feminazis

    @Snob yeah bro true

    @Snob create a package, name it "fallus" and ask for inclusion by Debian 😂
    that name definitely is not sexist! 😂

    @mt3o I would approve 😂✓

    @Snob I never said that it was sexist or even offending to me. It would be a problem, in my opinion, if the authors would want to offend, because it would shift the discussion from code to politics.

    @Snob that's why you are not allowed to make such decisions.

    Get yourself a pack of label stickers, go to a church and put a sticker naming the "body parts" on a statue, and then as people if they are offended, depending on body parts you put the sticker on.

    @Scade well it's pretty much a retaliation towards the whole "I'm offended by everything" kind of BS, so I don't think that it's entirely wrong to offend for the sake of offending at this point. In my opinion at least, it's a reasonable reaction to get the blood of the other boil if they've negatively impacted you or something you hold close to heart, such as freedom of speech. Hence why I'm grinding the gears of those SJW's so much every time I get a chance to. But I do think that there's a disconnect, and offending for the sake of offending doesn't help with that. Then again, is there any reasoning to be done with those SJW's? Honestly, I'm not sure...

    @Condor If I understood you correctly, I agree. I think provocation and satire are great tools, but a professional project like Debian would not be the right place for it. (I do *not* want to allege, that the authors of weboob wanted provocate)

    @Scade but actually they did. If you check the source code and commit history, there are strings like "wrong command, you fag". Someone pointed out that under my rant. I linked the article day or two ago.

    @Scade it's because we have balls 😉

    @condor seems that my worries about the holidays food parade shone trough 😅

    Because "boob" is soo offensive. 🙄

    It's not like 51% of the world's population has them and think they're the most normal, boring, semi-annoying things ever. Yep. Soo offensive.

    Is "Adam's apple" offensive, too? Oh no, it's both religious AND sexist! 🙄

    How about "bust"? How about "pencil" and "cookie" and "taco"? And what about "tunnel," for that matter?

    I can see the changelogs now:
    > sshd slated for removal because "tunneling" terminology determined too sexual for a professional setting.
    > Removal of daemon "d" suffix under heavy consideration due to sexist implications.

    Fucking hell.
    Grow some skin or go kill yourself.
