The insult used as a replacement here - 'git' - is also problematic.
'git' itself literally means 'bastard' i.e. a person born of unmarried parents.
We can claim to be an enlightened society which does not discriminate on the basis of parentage, but that doesn't bear out on so many levels, not least that single parents do not receive effective support.
You can say I could make the same argument about 'dummies' as an insult, and I won't really complain. The brand name '...for dummies' was originally a bit shocking: that's part of its marketing strategy. This is not a strategy that I particularly like.
I would not bother to censor here, I will continue just to privately think less well of this and other projects.
