They should keep it instead of trying to avoid offending people. People take things too seriously. When else are you going to have fun saying, I'm working on the CoQ have an awkward stare, and then laugh about it?
We already have CoC for Vim, and I see no problem with that.

- traspler 6y agoI think it's perfectly fine for a project to have a discussion about what they are calling themselves and what the consequences of that are. I really like the introduction of the linked wiki and I think it leaves it open to anyone to argue their point, from "leave it, it's funny" to "I feel offended and so should you". I don't think this discussion has reached the point (yet) where it's simply about avoiding offence or getting bullied into a decision.
- Sebb767 6y ago> People take things too seriously Depends on your viewpoint. If you have a small plugin or personal project like CoC, without any ambitions to reach many people, such a joke is fine in my book. But in this case, it seems to hinder the adoption and growth of the language, so it makes a lot of sense to switch to a less offensive name. Especially since the language seems to aim to get more widespread usage.
