Similar to the change of the default branch name from "master" to
"main" to use a word which has less negative associations,
I suggest to replace the word "blame" with something more neutral.
Maybe "annotate". That word seems to already be used at some places
for this Git feature.
We can help you to match the tool for your personal preference, e.g.

    $ git config --global alias.praise blame
    $ git praise COPYING

Changing what has been known for one name for a long time for other
people takes a lot more than "I do not like the word with negative
connotations".
