@fireh9lly If they've used the word (irl or as character dialogue) and seem unaware, I would say you're doing them a favor. I don't think I ever hear the word any more outside of the contexts of racism and misogyny.
@fireh9lly I'm glad he was receptive. As a team name, I think it would prompt many players to look for racial/gender meaning that the dev doesn't intend. He's lucky he had you to give him the benefit of the doubt so he could change it before it became a thing.
