>I still think NippleJS is a funny and innocent name. Everybody has nipples, so it's pretty inclusive too. I agree. The entire situation is absurd. The advice to ignore the naysayer(s) seems to be the correct course of action. That said, the original issue has some comedy gems in it which I feel are worth mentioning here: https://github.com/yoannmoinet/nipplejs/issues/80#issuecomme... and in a later post (different author): "And if nipples really make you uncomfortable, maybe you should visit a professional? Today you can't run away from nipples, they are everywhere and you will just be more and more uncomfortable."

Ask HN: I made a JavaScript library called NippleJS and people are getting angry

It all started with an issue on my library, https://github.com/yoannmoinet/nipplejs/issues/80 which is cool, because we can discuss about the issue and the point raised was fair IMHO. But it all went to shit pretty quickly, so I locked the thread and decided not to change the name. Now the guy is just insulting me on twitter. https://twitter.com/lazerwalker/status/1054658757228195840 https://twitter.com/lazerwalker/status/1054768005249462272 I still think NippleJS is a funny and innocent name. Everybody has nipples, so it's pretty inclusive too. I don't know anymore... is it? I'm really looking for advices on how to handle this before it goes sideways. Sorry for the drama.
