huh, I’ve never heard that term before. Idk if that makes the name ableist though, since it clearly means something else, unlike the switch from master to main for git, where that name was used in the same way as the offensive context. Also the word “gimp” has another more well-known meaning… which I guess isn’t that much better. Yeah idk maybe they should change the name lol.
I really wish they’d pick a better name. Ableism aside, it’s just a terrible name.
How is the name ableist?
