Gnome isn't even in the same ballpark. We have gnomes in fantasy and hold them in high esteem.

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.

And it's also the name of a venerable piece of software that stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program.

This is just a ginned-up non-controversy that should have stayed in 2019.

I've heard Gnome used as an insult far more than Gimp.
