Maybe this is just an oversimplification on my part, but I think of it like this: Say that my INSERT RELEVANT FAMILY MEMBER HERE spends weeks/months/decades of their life violently oppressing a population just beating the absolute shit out of someone(s) in order to gain - or maintain - some sort of benefit. I'm fully aware of this activity, yet still have no problems availing myself of these clearly ill-gotten gains year after year. Have I committed any crimes? Yeah, maybe I was, say, married to a dictator who did, but... How responsible am I?
To put it another way: If you saw someone attempting to attack/stab/etc someone else across the street from you, do you feel that you have a moral imperative to call 911 even if you do not personally know either party (having no political power or responsibility, say)?
"All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing..."
I've never used either, honestly, so I'm pretty sure I'm not entitled to an opinion, but I do know that every time someone says they 'use' or 'like' GIMP all I can imagine is the dude from Pulp Fiction going, "Eh, it's a living!" with a defeated sort-of shrug (a la the wooly mammoth-cum-showerhead from the Flintstones)
I mean, either way, you do you and all, I don't kink/platform-shame
Which just so happens to be the perfect segue for me to pitch my proposal to make 'cunt' the de facto (gender neutral, naturally) pronoun/collective pronoun.
