We don't rename tropes because the titles may possibly offend someone. If you can demonstrate evidence of misuse or other problems with the trope, you can use Trope Repair Shop to suggest a change.

Cam Whore seems like a pretty accurate description, and it eliminates the need for a redirect.

Also, the trope is supposed to have negative connotations. Calling someone a "cam whore" (in the sense of the trope) is not an objective statement; it is denigratory and expresses disapproval of the person's behaviour. So censoring the trope name would be missing the point.
