Gender and the LÖVE community (A Community-Culture Problem)

[debbit]

The principle is more of manners rather than morality. If a virtual machine were named CockVM, or some sort, with the word displayed prominently on its reference pages -- yeah, I'd have the same complaint.

Good, then you have no problem since the framework is called LOVE.

No problem with the core framework, but I think we're talking about something broader than that.

So you're directly addressing individual people that you have a problem with for naming their libraries in a way you don't like?

Or are you asking for website-wide censorship of naughty words?

No, and no. I'm expressing my own concerns and reactions and feelings in general agreement with the original poster. I don't know who would be in a position to censor the names of libraries on the wiki, but I wouldn't like to see that happen in the first place. I don't ultimately care if any names are changed -- Love is an awesome framework, it stands well enough on its own -- I just think it's an argument that needs to be heard and considered.

Glad you cleared that up.

[debbit]

Touche, I guess? Nonetheless I think the 'culture', or whatever it is that gave rise to these names, probably should change.

If people like to discuss library names, it might be useful to post it in the original thread (A Community-Culture Problem With Library Names), so it'll be less confusing what we're talking about. I'll rename this thread to distinguish it a bit more from the original.

But isn't our library names the community-problem? Like that's all there is right? We have a baby police and a pig with a little heart in our header. How can the ladies not like us? Is it the mountain's mustache?
