> I'm not thin-skinned

Are you sure about that? The gay thing is weird, yeah, but you basically are thin skinned if the connection between bullets and violence is that bothersome to you. Most people aren't that bothered by references to violence; if they were then violent shows and movies wouldn't be the best-sellers they currently are. What if I wrote a useful library and called it "Bomb"? Would that be insensitive of me?

At least "Bomb" would be short. "Full Metal Jacket" is a dreadful name in every sense, worsened only by the author's cringeworthy backstory. To paraphrase the parent, it reeks of immaturity.

I "wouldn't hold that against" the tool if it had technical merit.

I wouldn't have said anything about that if not for the gay bit. I thought about just deleting that part, but I'll let it stand.
