Could be what they're going for. There's a subset of the free software movement who are actively opposed to politically correct corporate culture.

This is no issue of politically correctness, it's an issue of poor branding - if this is meant for a serious project, which I get the feeling the author intends to be perceived as.

It can be a serious project, and yet not aimed at corporate.

I think you're conflating "corporate" with "considerate" or similar.

Lots of people feel that tech culture leans toward the objectification of women, so we're less inclined to use projects that use overtly sexual language or imagery.

For example, read the first paragraph of the Julia language community standards: https://julialang.org/community/standards/

Thanks for your condescending, moralizing remarks. I just woke up from a coma and did not know about any of this, or the moral superiority neo-puritan people expel when they push their Orwellian pursuit to ban any form of sexual expression from society under the false flag of being "inclusive" and "considerate".

i.e. a subset of the FSM that want to keep alienating women
