The faggots "representing" Linux strike again.

<https://lunduke.substack.com/p/linux-foundations-new-banned-words>

The Linux Foundation has announced the release of a new “Inclusive
Language Guide” — which adds a handful of new words you are not allowed
to say.

And it’s even more ridiculous than you might expect.


This new “Inclusive Language Guide” is designed to “drive a more
diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture” (read: DEI) and to replace “offensive language” with “acceptable language”.

Past iterations of the “Inclusive Language Guide” included “Socially Charged” words such as “Master / Slave”, “Black / White”, and even “Owner”.

This new revision officially adds “Pow-wow” to that list of
death-causing words.


Of course, any “gendered language” remains firmly off limits. “Manpower”? Can’t say that. And definitely don’t use “gendered” pronouns
like “he” or “she”.

Doing so is literally genocide.


Which brings us to my favorite new additions (to the “Ableist” and “Violent” language sections of the list).

Sanity Check

Dummy

Hung

That’s right. You can’t use the word “hung” anymore.


I deleted 3 different titles for this story containing the word “hung”. They were all very entertaining and very inappropriate. I would like
credit for the restraint I am showing right now.

As crazy, insane, and abnormal (see what I did there?) as this list of “bad” words is… what’s even stranger is the group behind it.

This is a joint project between The Linux Foundation and — wait for it — the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. Yes. The one that
produces the Oscars.


The two organizations teamed up to create the Academy Software Foundation.

Which, apparently, ran out of worthwhile things to work on… and,
instead, chose to add “hung” to a “don’t use this word in the software industry” list.

That organization also worked with the Alliance for OpenUSD — another
Linux Foundation Project — to publish this list.


Who, exactly, is responsible for making all of this happen at the
Alliance for OpenUSD?

Pixar, Nvidia, Adobe, Autodesk, and Apple.


And the leadership over at the Academy Software Foundation includes
companies like Netflix, Sony, Adobe, Intel, Microsoft, and Epic Games.


Right about now you may be wondering why Epic Games and Amazon is so
worried about you using the word “hung”.

I don’t have an answer for you.

It’s weird.

It’s very, very weird.

Kurt Schlicter can be over the top at times but some of his references to politically correct language are spot on. The hero of several of his
novels, Kelly Turnbull, has a universal solution. .45 ACP center mass.

This horseshit is insane. And they're way behind the times. The studios
have finally figured that they would rather make money than make Woke
message crap and go broke. (Maybe not Disney, but they've pretty much destroyed themselves already.)
