Has bad branding ever turned you off from software, FOSS or not? (lemmy.world)

I'll start: while looking at app theming I came across WallRizz, renamed from WallWiz. I haven't tried it, and looking at it documentation it seems well made, but I cringe at the name and the AI-generated penguin logo. It shares the art style of all the other AI slop, its basically italian brainrot but 2D. WallWiz sounds way better, rizz sounds like it was specially designed for gen alpha (little kids). If there are apps of even similar quality, why would I use this one?

The only thing that's turned me off about FOSS is if I see suspicious stuff about it in their bug reports. All software has vulnerabilities, sure, but depending on what the code is trying to do, cannot trust it.
