By that logic they should rename GNOME too.
There's no problem with the name other than with people looking for cultural issues that don't exist to bang on about and fill their "do good" bank.

There can be some absolutely dreadful, politically incorrect names, but I don't think any of GIMP's significant problems came from it's namesake.
Gimp is a term used to mock people that can't walk. It's not a medical term, it's strictly a pejorative like the n-word.
Gimp is also a term for someone who gets pegged up the ass while wearing a rubber suit.
Not a good brand.
I've heard Gnome used as an insult far more than Gimp.
This is just a ginned-up non-controversy that should have stayed in 2019.
