How do you come to that conclusion? He was a guy in a full on latex-BDSM suit on a leash, that they kept in a box in the basement.
We don’t learn much about his character or mental ability in the movie. It is much more likely, that he was called a gimp in the BDSM sense, that is also mentioned in the Wiktionary entry that was linked here.
We honestly should rename GIMP. It’s a bad name. I think a new and better acronym would substantially improve brand recognition. Something like:
Free Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging
FUCKBOI
This individual for position of authority! I endorse this.
at least this one’s not an ableist slur, so there’s that!
Honest question, what is the ableist slur being discussed?
gimp
TIL I always imagine the guy in the basement of the shop in the movie pulp fiction
who was called that because he was mentally differently abled
You mean disabled?

pretty sure that use of the term originated with that exact movie scene.
There’s also a point where the gimp tries to speak and it’s pretty clear he has at least a speech impediment if not a mental disability.
I just figured because he was abducted chained and abused in a basement I didn’t realize, that makes it even more sad
wait, it’s a synonym of “nerd”? huh.
FreeFOSS Utility for Creative Kits Brushes, Overlays, & ImagingYou forgot that for whatever reason we have to have an acronym in our acronym.
FUCKBOI Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging
it’s have to be recursive too.
Like “Wine Is Not an Emulator”
I’m So Meta Even This Acronym
I genuinely believe Fedora would be far more popular if it had a different name
M’distro!
At least it’s better than Red Hat.
Like name it after something you don’t grab when you meet someone gallantly
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
There was a fork that did nothing but replace the name and graphics to GLIMPSE
The gimp oss community is really fucking rabid about NOT EVER changing the name
Probably because they never thought to change it to FUCKBOI.
We should call it Fotosshop
Based, Tbh
We shouldn’t fuck ourselves to the sensibilities of sterile bullshit corporate AmeriKKKa
Are you the person who write us law’s titles?
