We could retcon it as named after the koopaling.
As much as I love Motorhead, it's not a great name.

I think the political culture is holding it back more than the name. People poke their heads in and see an environment that is far more left than they’re used to so they head back to Reddit. It can be a shock to see all the moe/loli and communist stuff when they aren’t used to it.
