On top of that, many people are just saying "the name's a bit tasteless" which can be filed under constructive criticism. The whole "I knew this would happen, silly Internet moralizers!" tack just reflects badly on the developers. "We know it's a bit edgy but we don't care" would have been more honest.aMUSEd wrote:Just to be clear this has nothing to do with "morality" (or so called "political correctness"). I don't think anyone complaining about the name gives a f**k about it being a "rude" word. The problem is the sexist language and marketing. Just imagine if he'd made a drum replacement plugin called "Trigger n*gg*r"? Maybe people wouldn't be so quick to defend that one? However there is no difference.
And saying "there were sexist/edgy/un-PC product names in the past" really signifies nothing. If nothing ever changed because "it happened in the past" society would never progress.
