Describe the bug
So, today I will be punching, kicking, and stabbing someone in honor of this little problem I have (in tekken of course). I have a slight issue, and by slight, i mean major, with trackpad pinch detection. It is actually better than the system detection in detecting a thumb, which is a problem because many of us have learned to use macos gestures WITHOUT thumb. This can also be an accessibility issue for someone who may not have a thumb.

I would want this thumb detection to be configurable or maybe "thumb free" gestures added so that people can actually use this if they dont fall into a "normal" distribution of users.

I would say that it is a big oversight especially with the accessibility concerns.

What is worse is the actions that the adminstration has shown. I made a post about this, and the response was to say that I am entitled, for asking for an accessibility and usability feature.

First off, this forum consists of many people who actually pay for this software, so yes they are entitled, and calling out an accessibility feature request as entitled is in my opinion an incredibly tone deaf way to approach this. I am disheartend and deeply dissapointed by how you treat people who have very real frustration with a product that you charge money for. It comes off as not caring about the user.

Please implement a fix to this problem since it can help many people who use gestures differently and people who may be differently abled than you or I.

Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.): Trackpad inbuilt into macbook

**Additional information (e.g. crash logs, related issues, etc.): The whole goal is to use this program to launch a custom mission control since its no longer fullscreen

Wow closed this one too eh? Thats a real asshole move. I have differences in how I viewed something and civily tried to make my point, I fully support people disagreeing with what I say but to basically close my request for fucking disagreeing with me is rude. Its like you dont even care at all for the feature at this point and only care for your reputation.
Maybe multitouch will be more fruitful.**

I like this forum because people help each other and Andreas takes time to interact with us. My experience with him is the complete difference of the picture you try to paint.

Your tone in the previous post and also - partially - in this post makes me feel uncomfortable here.

Yes you may be disappointed, yes you may be frustrated, and yes you're maybe right to be so...but please keep the positive vibes in this forum.

read your first post again, then think again why I might have closed your post. Hint: it was not because you asked for an accessibility feature request.

One thing I can tell you: I absolutely don't care about helping people who are unable to show the slightest bit of decency. This forum is a place for friendly communication not for posting slurs / rants. You'd need to pay a whole lot more for me to consider interacting with such posts.

Excerpt from the bug report template:

Any bug reports that contain insults against me or my software will be deleted without warning and the user will be blocked (unfortunately this has become necessary to mention here).
