New issue by CapybaraWarrior on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/53865
Description:
In issue https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/36417 the offensive module of fortune-mod was removed. I consider this unnecessary and there shouldn't be a precedent of censoring packages, even more so that only part of the package was removed and not the whole package, if there was a serious issue the whole package should be removed. I do not know exactly what is offensive there because I cannot even install it without wasting time with xbps-src. This might be the only popular distro that does it, and as I said, if there is something truly offensive in a package than the whole package should either be removed or kept entirely, because keeping an offensive package that is censored still boosts its usage and popularity. People who might not be aware of such censoring might continue to support such packages without realising that it is against their principles.

Comment:
Was the issue that removed the module also not planned?
