Well. Somehow (or for some reason), GIMP managed to get away with it.

Though, the next crudest software name which comes to mind is "Git".

'Git', at least, while not particularly rude, was deliberate.

What's rude is highly regional though, I'm sure "git" could be considered very rude in some places while not at all in some. Just like "cunt" isn't as rude in some places as in others.

_Is_ git very rude anywhere, tho? As far as I know, it's very mild in the UK and Ireland, not really used elsewhere, but I may be missing somewhere.

I would not be afraid to google those though.

Many folks in the community are uncomfortable with the name and have asked the project to change it, to no avail.

Don't forget "Unix".

And yes, the pun was 100% intentional there, too.

What? ... Oh, right.

Given the goal of:

vore.website is free for anyone to use, and will never be turned into a vehicle for profit.

It's actually a brilliant name, what a way to keep away mainstream corporate interests

Reminds me of the artist “⣎⡇ꉺლ༽இ•̛)ྀ◞ ༎ຶ ༽ৣৢ؞ৢ؞ؖ ꉺლ” [1] (although you can just search “Wingdings” on Spotify and you’ll find them).

I bet most people who don't frequent tumblr/reddit et al don't have the slightest idea of what "vore" is. The internet is pretty large, and humans are pretty clueless on average.

Until they search for "Vore feeder" and arrive at very unexpected results. The welcome of those results may vary from person to person, though.

You've convinced me that's actually a good name

It's fair to be clueless, but not even googling a name before deciding to use it for your project is foolish.

Oh they googled it alright.

There is _no way_ this is not deliberate.

People barely know what an address bar is for these days. It's certain a large amount is going to google for it, and then find out.

They may have no idea, but if they go searching that they may find out if they’re unlucky.

There's no way it isn't intentional. Many FOSS developers love dirty names.

What if they know / it's on purpose?

They totally know. It's an application for consuming feeds called vore.

> since vore consumes feeds, i thought the name was perfect!! i can't resist controversial names apparently :3

I’m so sorry that you’re also burdened with this knowledge.

They really should change the name.

That was the first thing I thought when I read the title, and is the reason I did not click the link. I had the misfortune of being exposed to images of this sort by someone back in school and I'm not exactly desirous of experiencing that again.

Open source is increasingly a kink friendly space where people are encouraged to let their freak flag fly. See also, e.g., cargo-mommy: https://github.com/Gankra/cargo-mommy

Phaser has been consistent with their update title[1] for a decade now. Beats the mind numbingly sterile update of chrome and firefox I suppose.

GNU parallel, since 2010: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/refs/

I'm not sure cargo-mommy strikes me as a strong example. It appears to be specific to the kink, not some mainstream tool that ties in kink somehow.

There is a difference between being kink friendly and exposing your kink to the public, including minors. There is a time and place for everything, and involving potentially unconsenting people in your kink by "letting your freak flag fly" is wrong and has nothing to do with being kink friendly.

It's heartwrenching to see kids these days downloading X-rated Rust crates at such a young age

I call bs -- that is weasel words. regarding the "truth" that statement, once someone said to me that tech content is like the surface of a balloon being blown up.. each area on the surface gets larger for sure, but also more distant to the others.

kink content is, was, and always will be a "bug light" attractor to certain people.. that is not at all the same as whatever this one-liner says

I'm grateful someone said this for me.

Being provocative gets eyeballs. In this situation am I the chewer and the rss feed is the chewed? Which one of us is feeling aroused by it? The feeds? I hope it’s the feeds.
