Why change the name? “Sniper” already fits perfectly.

Someone needs to calm down lol.
It has different names all over so it doesn’t ultimately matter.
And since the game was invented in India and most Indian related languages and arabic languages all call it the elephant, then techincally it should just be called the elephant by everyone.

“Beat the Bishop” is an old time slang for masturbation. Not sure it’ll have the same resonance if they change the name.

Why did you take it personally? It’s an idiotic request. You have to realize that the shape of the piece is based on a Roman Catholic bishop’s mitre (headdress). If you don’t know that you have no business playing chess.

How about “Pedo”? Easier to say and functionally pretty much the same thing. Keep it away from the pawns until they grow up into queens at least though.
That’s a long name for a chess piece
So that’s your move? I counter with
“Fuck your atheist gay race communism” to e4
