When making clan names or choosing a platform name you need to consider others. Does this name mean something offensive in another country? Will this name upset some ethnic minorities? References to colour. The stupid names like glorifying serial killers by using their names. Blaming certain companies for 9/11 as a platform user name. These are just a few of the things to consider. Just think very wisely before jumping in with a name

  • I'm gay and if I wanna refer to myself as gay I -blam!- will. This over policing to keep people from being offended is counterproductive. Intent is what matters and nothing about OP's clan name could be considered offensive.

  • There is quite literally nothing offensive about Cayde's little gays. I understand what position you're coming from, but ultimately it's harmless and part of our identity; If it was an outwardly bigoted title then maybe, but I fail to see how this was worthy of a ban at all. Moreover as much as I despise this argument, If my existence/identity, something that is ultimately harmless/a protected category makes others uncomfortable, in absolutely no other situation would it be okay to expect we make changes to better accomodate the uncomfortable party. Until what we're doing becomes offensive or harmful, that's the definition of discrimination.

  • I understand what your saying I am just pointing out it MAY offend others. It does not offend me, I think names need to be chosen wisely in this current climate(which is crazy beyond belief) People take offence to the slightest thing.
