DezNutz - Name Change

[Dmanwuzhere]

Don't asked why but your name always reminded me of the character in Ice Age chasing his acorn. After reading the meaning that others attached to your name that inocent image is forever ruined.

I think the Names thread digressed into what it did because it felt like a double standard that garrett needed to change his fleet names, which I felt were fairly tame yet Deznuts was allowed. My thought is that neither of them are particularly offensive and I think it was an overreach to require that anything be changed. I vote that the name be allowed. My only hope is that the dialogue has made a point that this is all a bit silly, everyone I talked to thought garrett's fleet names were hilarious. That fact that this is even a discussion is a bit funny.

The names thread did digress into the why does DezNutz get to keep his name thread. But explicit and grossly inappropriate names has been a discussion for some time, mostly private.

As for garrett's fleets, some of them were explicit. I can see why they needed to be changed, but that doesn't change that I thought they were funny.

As for this, if you took a strict interpretation of the rules for names, "Names containing, insulting, racistic (should just be racist need to add that to the TYPO Bug Thread), sexual, or offensive language are not permitted.", DezNutz could fall under sexual language.

I'm still going to give it until Monday as I said I would. But I suspect that the result of the vote won't change.

[DezNutz]

The results are in.

Change: 10
No Change: 17
Indifferent: 14

The Nays have it. I will be leaving my name as is.

Out of curiosity, if you did have to change it, what would you have changed it to? I think you said in the first post you had an idea.

[DezNutz]

A possible one was:

Thomas Henley - Pirate from Colonial America during the 1680s.

I've looked at a few others as well, but I don't want to give away some good names that haven't been used.

It originally started as an abbreviation for "This is nuts" or " He is nuts" depending on the context. Naturally, it evolved to be short for "these nuts" in reference to male genitalia .
Now you are correct that these is a famous Instagram user who goes by it, which is why I don't see it as an offensive nickname.
We all come from different countries and backgrounds and while nearly all of us know English, select few know other languages beside their own and English.

As a result, anything that has English basis will be subjected to more scrutiny than any other language to the point of unfairness. While I advocate for clean gaming, I don't believe this one should even be a concern.

i know a little bit of Klingon lol yes that is a language google translate has it
