Slashdot Mirror

I think it's reasonably apparent that the reference to breasts was intentional, not just something that others read into it. Notably, logos for the project emphasise the pair of Os.

The logo is a pair of christmas glass balls for a christmas tree.

That's the one they're using at the moment (presumably Christmas themed because it's near Christmas). If you don't find that convincing, though, have a look through their list of applications: Weboob applications

It's not in their heads, the project itself went out of its way to get boobs into everything. Look at the official list of apps, half of them work "boob" into the title for no reason by dropping the "we".

It already had to patch out homophobic slurs from the output. Not a comment in the source, the output of the binary.

The principal here is outlined in this post on the Debian mailing list.

This whole discussion reminded me of a campaign by the German project
pinkstinks.de called "Sexy yes, sexism no":

Summary in my words:

It's fine to show a woman in underwear if you try to sell women's
underwear (left picture: "Bra 29 EUR").
It's not ok to show a woman in underwear if you try to sell a chair
(and the scantily clad woman is just decoration / an object to draw
attention to the ad) (right picture: "Chair 199 EUR").
I think that explains the issue of objectification quite well.

Okay, so leave now, fag.

Software is built by some very classy people who are no doubt stable geniuses.

Digging into that module, it seems to allow you to "participate in a boobathon" and has a way for you to be the "winner"...I have no idea what this is.

http://weboob.org/modules 80% of the modules' icons you'll find on your desktop after installation have sexual connotations. It should not be removed, but at least it should be flagged NSFW.

Exactly! Just have a look to the their website ( http://weboob.org/applications... ) and look at the icons. It's not something you might want on your work's desktop. Anyway, I angry that removing the package is dumb, it should be simply flagged NSFW and that's it.
