The world went and got all PC. It is indeed unfortunate, that people have become so afraid of what others may think of them that they repel free thought like a disease. Free thought includes humor, irony, and sometimes insults as well.
I see the person offended by a name that has a racial slur involved, maybe a strong sexual implication, or any other "offensive" nature, to be offended as a result of an over-compensation. Just as little guys drive big trucks (I'm a little guy, done the big truck thing), I have found that the holier-than-thou," OMG Im offended" crowd really tend to have the shoddiest moral character if you look behind the mask.
Some good examples have been brought up for names that should not exist. Most examples listed in this thread, I would not. I'd personally get a laugh out of killing or getting killed by Budda.
The fine line is, what is offensive? Someone could petition my name as offensive. Can I expect to find myself as Citizen1269375 in the morning? Who determines the level of offense and where is the line? In character creation, we kind of expect that if it survives the filters applied, we are good.
One of the things I have enjoyed about the CCP/Eve community for nearly ten years is a very welcome reprieve from the political correctness. There are boundaries, but CCP has not done the kneejerk reaction to the horribly offended in the past. Eve players have become used to this and now a new genre has been introduced, and some of them cry loudly. The natural checks and balances of a community do work also, as stated before. If someone is an insufferable jerk.. nobody will play with them and they get spit out. |

Lmao when I read this. We had a guy who would collect corpses and put them in station to sex them up later. None of us would engage in battle if he was in system for fear of our corpse stolen and defiled! |
