How do you come to that conclusion? He was a guy in a full on latex-BDSM suit on a leash, that they kept in a box in the basement.
We don’t learn much about his character or mental ability in the movie. It is much more likely, that he was called a gimp in the BDSM sense, that is also mentioned in the Wiktionary entry that was linked here.
at least this one’s not an ableist slur, so there’s that!
Honest question, what is the ableist slur being discussed?
gimp
TIL I always imagine the guy in the basement of the shop in the movie pulp fiction
who was called that because he was mentally differently abled

pretty sure that use of the term originated with that exact movie scene.
There’s also a point where the gimp tries to speak and it’s pretty clear he has at least a speech impediment if not a mental disability.
