Spac is slang for stupid in England. Might want to reconsider the name.

It's worse than that, it's a nasty insult for disabled people from "spastic" (also used: "spaz" which may be familiar to US readers and is much more derogatory in the UK).

It's got terrible connotations in the UK.

"Git" is not even remotely close to the nastiness of the words here.

Yeah, whatabouting a bad decision is definitely a reason to give up on preventing other bad decisions.
