GIMP was named after a character in Pulp Fiction. More than 20 years later, the name remains controversial and could be holding back the project.

    Cool - fork it with a new name.

    No? Then enjoy your free software.

      This can’t be stressed enough.

      Your personal preferences are not the problem of the FOSS community. If it’s a problem for you, fork it and do as you please.
