So I got my character name changed lol

Hello guys,

something strange happened to me yestrday, and I will tell you what.

So I was working on my Granite Flask to get some armor mods, and then *poof* iI got a perfect evasion roll on the flask. I was like "wow that is so f'ed up" and I linked it in global and said "seriously game". Moments after I was muted. I was like wut, I was so confused and then later I told this to my friend and he was like, hmmm I don't understand or, oh wait, what is your characters name again? I told it to him again and he asked me if my named was changed. If not, it will.

And here begins what this post is really about. My name got changed and I was muted because my name had the word "Removed by Support" evolved.

Before I continue I want to point out that I didn't want to offend anyone and I am no racist. I don't care about someones color as long as they are good people.

Why would you change my name because it evloves that word? Why is that considered racist? I mean, someone can't know if I am black and as I recall, black people call themselves that all the time, and how don't they get offended like that? If I am black and I call myself like that it is alright, but if some "white boy" called me that that is offensive? From my point, know this and if I was black, if i can call myself that and my black freinds, everybody could.

That word isn't racist at all, and racism isn't one-sided aswell. I don't hate black people, and I've seen and talked to just a few, and that is because I live in Europe where black people usually don't live. It is that behaviour that I truly hate, it is so shallow minded and stupid.

Comment and let's see who agrees, and those who don't please explain me why.

racist, sexist, or reference to sex in names will get it changed, end of...not a hard concept to understand...and it's blatantly obvious why it was changed and that people still take offense to the term.

I don't know where in europe you live however i'am almost certain you are NOT allowed to call anyone a [Removed by Support] there.
Use your common sense, if you can't call let's say a police officer in your country a [Removed by Support] than naming yourself something evolving around this name is obviously a stupid idea.

Feel free to prove me wrong.

It's their game. You play by their rules. No reason is needed... no justification required.

They just gave you a new name without talking to you?

You should ask for a name change to a new name u like lol.

Use your common sense, if you can't call let's say a police officer in your country a nigger than naming yourself something evolving around this name is obviously a stupid idea.

Feel free to prove me wrong.

He used "[Removed by Support]", not "[Removed by Support]".

same difference, doesn't matter who uses it either if someone uses it online people will take offense.

Are we really having this conversation? Anyways... I'm 100% positive you didn't mean harm, but originality... It doesn't make you look cool. Quite the opposite.

It's like calling others "bro" to justify your manhood... Hope I've helped.

You got far less than what I'd have given. Consider yourself lucky, OP.

There's nothing clever or funny about using racism in user names.

Using words, directed at no one specific, makes someone racist now?
