I think this is a bit of a US defaultism sorta thing. That's why we aren't getting it. Gimp really has no cultural negative connotation to us. Tbh, I think neither in the US itself since the creators named it after the sex thing not the slur. Like, would have they named it "cripple"? Probably not because of the negative connotation. Just looked it up. Turns out " cripple" isn't even a slur. Just poor taste. I'm starting to to think it's not even used as a slur anymore in everyday US lexicon
