GIMP can be offensive in the American variant of English, but outside of America it's not offensive.
A lot of the developers are from Europe and it's imperialist for these American activist to force American language standards on everyone.

Nobody is forcing anything, it's just that if you want people in the US to use this software, you should call it something else.
That's beside the point that "gimp suits" aren't offensive, they're a perfectly fine kink and an element of BDSM. Just very much NSFW.
And GIMP's avatar very alluding to the gimp suit isn't helping either.
