Open source and free software has always had a healthy dose of both politics and cringe. If the people volunteering their labor want to name a release after something they care deeply about -- politics, sci-fi characters, furries, whatever -- because that's what helps keep them motivated, then that's their right. And you have a right to fork or use other products if it's just too cringe for you to handle. Enjoy kate.

I realize I am now using kate across macos, windows, linux and openbsd.
Yes those bastards with their stances on checks website Russian aggression against Ukraine and Chinese human rights abuses.
I still think it's crazy Mao with the 60M to 1 KD ratio celebrated
Good for you. Is there a point to that?
Life is easier when ideas don't make you uncomfortable.
Go you!
