Everyone please remember Geany is an international project and remember not to assume your cultural biases automatically apply to content produced in an international forum, not necessarily by people with English as a first language, and not necessarily the same cultural reaction to particular words or concepts (pro or anti).

It is perfectly ok to note that something has negative connotations in your culture and you would prefer that it wasn't used, but it is not acceptable to assume that your culture is universal throughout the world, and that content produced elsewhere is automatically to be interpreted by your standards.

In particular please do not state your standards as if they are an indisputable fact and that anything not meeting them is therefore the result of poor practices.

When dealing with a project staffed by volunteers working in their own time the best way of changing something is to contribute alternative content, not to try to force someone to spend their own time and effort to change something that is acceptable to them so it will meet your cultural expectations.
