alt Hacker NewsAsk anyone under fifty what "pulp fiction" was and prepare to get mostly blank stares. Can barely remember it myself.
Reminds me of those creeps in "Footloose" trying to outlaw dancing. Puritanism can get fucked. ;-)

I'm gen Z, we know what Pulp Fiction is. Even the gen alphas do. We just had a crossover in Fortnite, and Pulp Fiction is in the Chainsaw Man opening.
I'm anti-Puritan as well, but there are far better hills to die on. In either case, it's moot, since "gimp" is also used as an ableist slur.
I haven't seen Footloose, but we don't need analogies to fictional movie villains. The facts are that they decided to give GIMP a stupid name, and so they missed out on investment and adoption because of that decision. It doesn't matter what you or I think, I'm just describing something that already happened.
