      sometimes a footprint represents humanity and isn’t about fucking it….

      i’m so happy i didn’t get that foot fetish hardwired in… it seems so silly to me…

        sometimes, but in GNOME’s case i think it is not intended to be a human foot but rather the foot of a mythological creature (a gnome). note that it has a squashed aspect ratio compared to a human foot, and also has only four toes.

        apparently it’s also problematic in some cultures: https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/FootAndCulturalIssue

      My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.

      Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.

      And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.

      Or how about 3 naked people in a circle holding hands. And somehow this guy is like one of the least problematic white South African billionaires.
