Git is not without issues, but it's not as bad as this word.
There are two common ways to see gimp beyond what its defenders put forward:
1: A kink thing.
2: What the kink is based on: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gimp https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gimp -> https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cripple https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cripple

>> "I've never heard that word used for anything else than the software."
There are a lot of words I didn't know were common slurs, or at least inaccurate or otherwise not okay until someone told me. For example: Eskimo (colonist nonsense), Gypsy (name given to Romani people based on mistaken belief they came from Egypt), Indian (some native people use it, but not all).
Learning is great.
