My Name Is Not Offensive
For the past 9 years of my life I have been the GingerGeneral9 in all of my games that I play, it is what I am known as by my friends and family, I was very disheartened that at the beginning of the season of the lost my name was changed to Guardian1104. I am aware that some players in the community have offensive or outlandish names that need to be changed for the health and longevity of Destiny 2, however both myself and my little brother, GingerJuice23, have received in what we believe to be unjust name changes. Neither name is too long or offensive, my entire family is red haired and none of us consider "Ginger" to be a offensive term. Please can I get a response on what to do because this season is boiling down to a massive headache whenever we play together due to the fact that our names our now indistinguishable from each other, it makes playing with other people a nightmare. This is our identity, why are you changing it Bungie?

3 RepliesDon’t you just love political correctness. Bungie is located in the liberal capital and they have lost their damn minds just like everyone else over there.

waw basically removing your name is admitting that calling sombody like that is insulting bungie likes wayyyy too much acting like social justice warriors meanwhile you see names talking about -blam!- and -blam!- everywhere XD i even saw some french murderers names at the tower, but hey, it is more important to care about hair color (even tough red hair is beautiful)

10 RepliesThings are getting crazy. I hope the next time I order ginger ale, I don’t get thrown out of the restaurant for hate speech.

1 ReplyBu- bu- but thats completely offensive. You used the g-word. Unacceptable. Ginger is a slur. Oh no I said it. Someone please cancel me. /s

5 RepliesI was forum banned for saying no-no words about Australia, you know, the country in which i was born in, raised in and probably will die in! Good luck though.

I wonder how long it'll be before my gt gets banned? Psychoredbeard. It personifies me. I take anti psychotic meds and I have a ginger beard. I give it a week........

Unfortunately, we live in an age where people forgot the old adage of "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me". Welcome to the Cancel Culture.

Looking at a ginger is offensive to the eyes so... [spoiler]Blame Dave Chappell [/spoiler]

This forced name change borders on moronic. Is "ginger" a profane slur now? Did I miss a meeting? At the same time, I find myself matching players with horrible, vile, disgusting user names and reporting them seems to have no effect. I would post some here, but you can all guess what they are. Here's an idea: why doesn't Bungie force all existing and new players to be called Guardian1234#4321? And then later, once they've compiled their extensive and ludicrous permitted and non-permitted word lists, they allow players to change their names for a fee. Let's say 3000 Silver for the first change, but the price goes up with each consequent change, all the way to 8000 Silver, golf balls, legendary shards and all of your glimmer. Just so you know, take this thing seriously.

Use Galangal instead. It’s Asian ginger.

1 ReplyI saw someone in the EDZ name was Heywood Jablowme. How did that not get denied? 🤣

3 RepliesAnd here I thought Bungie was supposed to be inclusive.

33 RepliesBungie is a big supporter of LGBT, BLM etc etc Freedom of speech? Mmm not so much.

Woke Bungie at it again.

1 ReplyIts because you did a hard R. You should have said ginga instead

49 RepliesEdited by TheArtist: 10/27/2021 6:02:12 PMBecause its their house and their rules. Just because you don't find the term insulting, doesn't mean that others don't. Think about it. If you're this emotionally invested in a sense of identity attached to hair color....do you think that someone else might be JUST as invested in NOT having their humanity and their individuality reduced to a hair color?

2 RepliesHow can you offend them when the have no souls ...

You didn't change your Bungie name is all. You got the default.

5 RepliesSorry, but this is 2021, meaning if one person gets offended in the slightest, you're the bad guy, no exceptions.

12 RepliesThere’s a some woman that is close to Bungie community managers, she likes to go on SJW political correctness crusades. Anyhow she most likely mentioned what was good and not good for Destiny names and DMG made sure those names were on the naughty list. Idc if she made the ShaxxMotiviation crap. She’s seriously toxic to the community. And when average people get screwed over because of her self righteous witch hunts… as you can see now in your name being changed. I will buy a 100 collectors editions from Bungie and give em away to people, the day Bungie bans Sjw Karen the Witch Hunter permanently and the community managers cut all ties with her. That’d be my celebration

10 RepliesThe next step will be to remove all names with "boy/man", "girl/woman" and "white/black/yellow/red". After that i wouldnt be surprised if some letters will be entirely removed. X, F, H and U can be very offensive, you know? And while were at it, Numbers can be offensive too. 0 and 8 are bad numbers for example. You think im making this up? Sure, but this is exactly how those people doing it. They feel offended by everything and everyone.

7 RepliesBungo is woke. If people are offended by a name, it's their fault. This liberal media shouldn't have censored.
-
How ironic and hypocritical at the same time. I understand that Bungie is trying to protect the more "sensitive" people shall we say, but it's obvious that our ginger friend and his little brother in the OP, are deeply offended by having their original and harmless names removed. Come on Bungie, drop the political correctness crap and give these guardians their I.Ds back! You are offending these people!

Bungie hates gingers because they have no soul.

1 ReplyJesus. Now that I think of it. I am one more Netflix documentary, from losing my name. 😢

I used to have the name “TurdFerguson” & got a notice to change it. I guess Turd is offensive.
