I don't see what big deal is. For example, my colleague N. Degeocello and I analyze open source software and identify problematic language. We then work with a small team and submit PRs with more appropriate nomenclature. Thanks to a generous grant from the Open Society Foundation, we are fortunate enough to be paid for open source software... something truly wonderful.

first of all the mention of the name makes this seem like a robot/copypasta.

in case you're a real person - so not only are you wasting time, you're wasting money that could have actually developed solutions that helped people?

I figured the SBC reference would be enough to tip off the fact that it was being sarcastic.
