As a gimp myself, I agree that being offended is pretty far-fetched. But I can definitely envision a scenario in which someone would rather not be reminded of that word every time they open their image editor. Disability is traumatic and people can be absolutely horrible.
Lmao, imagine being so fragile that a name offends you.

GTA SA was my only knowledge of what a gimp is
it has been used as a slur for disabled people.
I’ve literally never heard that before. Is that common in your experience?
Yes, also say something is “GIMPed” if it’s broken or disabled/restricted in some way.
well not in modern parlance but yeah I’m aware it’s an olde timey word
It’s more commonly associated with the movie Gimp
I have heard it used that way in the last decade I think
At this point everything has been used as as slur
That’s for sure 10-ply. There isn’t a word or phrase that can’t be used as a slur.
