Subject: bug#54691: fortune-mod propagates various non-nice things

Hi guix,
fortune-mod currently propagates (in the non-technical sense) various
non-nice things like objectification, misogeny, religious intolerance,
anti-mathematician-ism (?) and date rape. That is not an exhaustive
list, these are just the first few things I encountered with "fortune
off".
To reproduce the issue, run "fortune off" a few times. Or just
"fortune", though then it can take a bit longer.
There are also a few non-nice things in the non-off set. E.g.:
$ fortune
> User n.:
> A programmer who will believe anything you tell him.
# ^ from 'definitions'
As such, just removing 'off' doesn't seem sufficient. Unless Someone™
volunteers to remove the anti-fortunes (*), I would just remove
'fortune-mod', given that it seems to serve no practical purpose byond
being non-nice. WDYT?
(*) Fortunes don't have to be positive, but that doesn't mean they need
to be sexist (genderist?) or insulting either (e.g.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_cookie#/media/File:Negative_fortune_cookie.jpg).
Hence, anti-fortunes instead of fortunes.
Greeting,
Maxime
