I vote for k-beans!

I'm just gonna come out and say it because I think people don't realize and it may be specific to US - if kbeans sticks we will be called "kbeaners" by trolls until the end of time, as it includes a racial slur aimed at hispanic/latino people

Honestly I bet a fair amount of people will even unintentionally use it without realizing. And if we have the ability to choose, I'd rather our nickname not be something that invites people to easily combine it with a slur

Seems like an arbitrary "trolls gonna troll" sort of thing that really shouldn't have a high priority.

That being said - I'm not a fan of the moniker anyway. We can do better.

Seems overly touchy to care, just block and move on or roll your eyes.

Why not go after the rock climbing industry for carabiners instead? /s

Trolls will come up with a dumb take on anything.
Block em and.move on.

I absolutely agree with your sentiment. At the same time, trolls can and will create a slur out of anything.
