Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren’t interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?
i believe they explicitly named it after the character in pulp fiction
personally i’m not blaming them too much for being a bunch of young assholes choosing an edgy name (reminder that it’s an ableist slur first and foremost) 30 years ago.
i am 100% blaming them for never changing it and outright refusing to change it.
