Gimped is an adjective just like crippled, thus my comparison.

I am (literally) a native English speaker, gimp isnt used much in the UK, as I said, I associate it more with gimp masks, so I'm trying to work out if it's a legitimate grievance, or if it's someone being overly PC for humours sake.



Fair enough. In this case it seems like it was intended as a joke, but I could see somebody actually getting offended.

Also upon rereading my comment, I hope it didn't come across as condescending in any way, I didn't mean it to but it does line of read that way.


You could perhaps claim that perspective (gimp masks) as well, since they typically reduce motor range or flexibility.
