    We honestly should rename GIMP. It’s a bad name. I think a new and better acronym would substantially improve brand recognition. Something like:

    Free Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging

    FUCKBOI

      Free FOSS Utility for Creative Kits Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging

      You forgot that for whatever reason we have to have an acronym in our acronym.

      There was a fork that did nothing but replace the name and graphics to GLIMPSE

      The gimp oss community is really fucking rabid about NOT EVER changing the name

              who was called that because he was mentally differently abled

                How do you come to that conclusion? He was a guy in a full on latex-BDSM suit on a leash, that they kept in a box in the basement.

                We don’t learn much about his character or mental ability in the movie. It is much more likely, that he was called a gimp in the BDSM sense, that is also mentioned in the Wiktionary entry that was linked here.

                I just figured because he was abducted chained and abused in a basement I didn’t realize, that makes it even more sad
