Also, according to the 4chan thread I saw, short for "special needs".


That’s like when they said GamerGate was about journalistic ethics: a transparent lie to elicit sympathy. It doesn’t even make sense: what would that mean in this context? It’s not like they forked it because they were concerned about accessibility.

As you can tell from the cartoon and organization name, it’s a 4chan meme based on a Simpsons episode:

https://github.com/Sneeds-Feed-and-Seed/sneedacity

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sneeds-feed-and-seed


The sneedacity fork came as a response to not accepting the name in the poll in the tenacity fork, did it not?

Covering up what was originally a more objectionable suggestion with indicators later that it was more benign is what I would consider SOP for something like this. That doesn't mean it is the more alleged meaning, but I wouldn't take anything from the sneedacity fork as an indicator it isn't/wasn't for that reason.

Edit: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sneed has evidence both ways as to what it might have meant. If it truly originated on 4chan, I know which one I think is more likely though...
