I’ll still use it. The title is just a joke about being called out by a boykisser meme
Being out-of-the-loop, what did Krita do?
_ /\ _
I imagine it’s related to how some neckbards on the internet are apparently extremely salty that Krita currently has a “furry” as a mascot, created by Tyson Tan.
Why the fuck wouldn’t Krita have a furry mascot? That’s their entire userbase there.
I have no idea. There was some dweeb on this very instance going around spamming a Krita related thread complaining about it.
“My God, what are all these furries doing using an open source art program?”
Like, dude dove in the yiff pile headfirst and then had the audacity to act surprised.
Thank you people for telling me.

I googled but I can’t find any kontroversy
Then use apt or yum or pacman!

Nothing, OP’s just saying things
The title is just a joke about having “boykisser krita” calling me out and and being angry at that smug face.
I ain’t uninstalling it anytime soon.
Is it about Krita being on steam not for free?
If I’d use krita on regular basis I’d be happy to support the devs. Also, the license is the same as always - it’s open source.
Why is on steam? To use it on a steam deck?
so you can pay to support them, just like how goblin tools is on the app store
From what I understand, most of Krita’s development budget comes from income on Steam, with fund.krita.org being a smaller slice. Krita would effectively be in maintenance mode if they didn’t have money to pay regular developers and maintainers.
You can still just get it for free on the website.
Blender has been on steam for years. As have other multimedia and game tools. For platforms like windows, it is one of the best auto update systems widely available.
Nah. Updated the post with the explanation. The joke didn’t land
No clue what your issue is, but if your standard for OSS is not being associated with furries, I’ve got bad news for you.
Nah I’m fine with furries. Except the boykisser one (as a joke)
Updated the post with the explanation. The joke didn’t land
So you’re OK with furries as long as they’re not doing gay shit? 🤨
This is a good Christian household! The bible said no to boy kissing. But it said nothing bad about dressing up as a fox and fucking your partner who’s dressed as a cow.
As long as they’re dressed like a girl cow.
Isn’t a boy cow just a bull?
Nah it’s not furries. It is just the boykisser meme that is often made to call out a person that may or may not be in the closet and mock them. It mostly conveys itself as rage bait / just being annoying.
So if the krita mascot starts saying stuff like that, that’s a valid reason to not continue using the software.
I do like the boykisser meme, but I’m just playing into the joke
I wasn’t sure if it was a joke and I read another comment here that seemed to indicate that it was not. Thanks for clearing that up, unfortunately sarcasm is easily lost across the internet.

Krita is open source why the hell would you uninstall it?
Updated the post with the explanation. The joke didn’t land
No, it landed for me. Maybe it was less obvious than I thought.
Ewww majaro
I mean, it cured my addiction to pirated Cracked software (and countless hour of cleranup from virus and malware), so, yeah.
And when you have to crack a newer version (because the old can’t work on your $os) it’s all bloated up.
The only thing I don’t like about Krita is the color picker but I’m sure you can change that so I’m just lazy.
sigh guess i’ll have to put the mandatory “free as in freedom, not free as in free beer” over here
Whats up with his ears?
It’s meant to look like Krita’s mascot, Kiki.

Take notice of her ears and her eyes.
KDE’s official site about Kiki, from where I sourced the image.
Cute, that makes sense!
I honestly don’t understand people beefing with people they don’t know personally. Like, sure, I’m not the biggest fan of furries, but hey, you do you, I like animals but just not like that.
Not using software because people you don’t know like something you don’t like??? So stupid. Be you, be proud.
(I’m speaking generally, not directly to you op, btw)
why uninstall it? (do not answer if you are not OP)
You can’t tell me what to do!
Updated the post with the explanation. The joke didn’t land
i see
i thought that might be the case, but it was not clear at all
thanks
WTF? Why is this shit post upvoted?

I think I need some context, what is a boykisser meme?
Once I understood it, I found it funny. I just needed to spend ten minutes crawling the comments to learn about the meme this is a parody of.
