I saw your comm originally linked from metafandom, but couldn't read the post because the comm name made my skin crawl (and that's as an able-bodied person who has never had any ablist abuse thrown their way; I can only imagine how other people felt when the name appeared on their reading lists). I'm impressed to see how quickly you remedied the situation and look forward to popping in in the future!
If we were going to give in on something as basic as our site name, what was next?
Oh, the apocalypse I'm sure. (Seriously though, surely you recognise how very not basic your name is? It's what represents you pretty much everywhere: it's on every page of your site, it's in every link address, it's what people see at the start of every tab they open to you - people are going to remember that word next to your little globe long before they take in your profile page and the the rhythm of your posts. It sums up what your comm stands for, whether you like it or not. If you want to make it a slur, make it a slur, but that slur is going to define you more than any comment you make about how it's 'not important'.)
