One:
When I had first joined this site I remember having Girl in my username (and it's in my gamer tag but I'm getting around to changing that after I get a card today at lunch). However, I was much younger and I wasn't prepared for the toxicity of the Companion App community.
I never knew that putting "gamer" and "girl" in the same sentence could relate to attention whoring. It used to be my channel name as well so people had an easier time finding my gamer tag if they wanted to send a message on the Xbox. But then I changed it after getting severe backlash both on here and on my channel.
You see, not ALL female gamers who have "girl" in their gamer tags or PSN (or whatever it is) or usernames aren't all trying to grab for attention.
Two: I would also like to bring to attention that If a guy put "gamer" and "guy" (or boy) in the same sentence, nobody would give a flying shit. Double standards suck like a sponge.

Don't change your name because people judge it, name yourself what you want.

Someone on this thread already posted my original name (which could easily be naming and shaming, but I decided against it) so, yeah, I already am cringing and wishing I hadn't had my name like that. I don't appreciate being called an attention whore and such. Because of the backlash I was getting I deleted my old account (technically) and got a new one and went under a different name for a month. If I went back to my old name, the cycle would've started again.

But, who cares what they think? The genuine and respectable users on this site won't care, and you shouldn't care about what fools like OP say about your username. Call yourself what you want.

I'm calling myself KrayZGamerNinja now cuz it was a change. I also really like it and it works for me ^_^

Edited by Lethenza: 2/3/2017 1:14:31 PMThat's fine, if you like the name. I just wanted to make the point that unwarranted online criticism only has as much power as you give it. But I'm happy you found a new name.
