Just found out that the devs are aware of the situation and posted about it last august in one of the most prominent french linux website.
they basically say that since 2010 they've been trolled on regular basis about the name of their software that happens to be a coincidence. These trollings gave them the inspiration to push further with visual elements and other part of the naming scheme used for other components.
The regular attacks from social justice warrior seeing in weboob a cisgender patriarcal homophobic masculinism are causing incomprehension among the female devs contributing to weboob and among the women gravitating around this project. Mostly it seems these attacks are coming from men who want to impose their view on women about what's right and wrong.
He ends the post by saying that he was supposed to give a talk with his girlfriend data scientist about the conjoint use of weboob and machine learning to scrape dating websites at pyconFR titled "find love with weboob <3", though the talk was well recevied, he was asked to provide a different title to the talk due to chances that people misinterpret it and complain based on the code of conduct of PyconFR.
