> I'm not offended, and I doubt anyone is (despite your prediction). I just don't see the point. Well, unfortunately, you'd be wrong: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=907199 I feel that this is going to turn into my daily HN post in defense of free speech. There's nothing that the name adds, it's stupid, it's silly, and it's juvenile. The authors themselves, in fact, seem to be racist shitbags[1]. But Debian essentially deplatforming it is absolutely not the right move here. I think protecting speech is a hill worth dying on, and even a despicable Neo-Nazi should have the same right to speech as me or you.

It would have been funny, except unfortunately the authors do go the distance to be misogynist, racist pricks: https://twitter.com/nokusu/status/1034395646759976960 https://github.com/laurentb/weboob/blob/efda09b21aa121db2268... https://www.github.com/laurentb/weboob/tree/0ac4885ad8c21274... This is why we can't have nice things. I know it's old commits that got deleted now, but it makes me seriously doubt the devs.
