Gnome Developers Blame Users and GTK3 Themes

It looks like another round of "Let's blame the users" at Gnome. Apparently standardizing a method for proper theming of Gnome via GTK3+ themes was never even on the radar.
I can see both sides to this debate, but in the end I feel that shunning, loathing, and generally criticizing the users merely because the lack of forethought is terrible.

These are some pretty bad passwords:
password, passw0rd, qwerty, qwertyuiop, 12345, 12345678, 123456789, 1234567890, football, baseball, welcome, abc123, dragon, master, 111111, login, solo, starwars

It's definitely a good idea to use strong passwords, and if needed, a good password manager.
