Hi there,
regarding to the upcoming and so picky
"OMG I FEEL SO OFFENDED BY THE NAME ****"
campagin, i thought let's make things easy for LL and collect a bunch of names that someone may feel offended of.
If you don't have a clue what's the topic, please read the following thread first:
/327/ef/283583/1.html
Heres my suggestions of names that should be removed from the Grid immediately:
* Tracey
I have read about a little girl named Tracey who was raped by her daddy for years. I see Avatars on the grid named Tracey.. I really feel this is some kind of sarcasm to all the pain the girl went through. PLEASE REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY
* Matthias
there was a guy named Matthias Rust from Germany. He took his private airplane and flew straight to russia during the times of the cold war. This caused a highly sensible diplomatic situation. There are Avatars on the grid named Matthias. I really feel this is a provocation to russia. We don't want to provocate russian people, do we? PLEASE REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY
* Adolf
in the early 1930's a politicion named Adolf Hitler turned into a dictator and started WW2 and also genocide against jewish people. there are more than 100 Avatars on the grid named Adolf. I really feel these Adolf's are trying to do this in SL too. PLEASE REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY
* Michaela
When i was about 16 i knew a girl named Michaela. Damned she was hot and so so so sweet, but she was a real whore and hurt me bad. I personally feel offended by any Avatar named Michaela. PLEASE REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY
* Joseph
Joseph - as the english version of the name "Josef" was a dictator in russia (full name: Josef Stailn) I am highly offended this guys name is used on the grid over 100 times?? PLEASE REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY
* George
There's an american politician, a guy from Texas, acting like a cowboy when he became the President. Starting a war here, starting a war there, startign a war everywhere.. I just don't like him. PLEASE REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY
* %Banger
"to bang" also means to get into sexual hardcore interaction with someone. I really don't think that this was a PG Name? PLEASE REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY
* Fukk%
any name containing "fukk" as a part of it may be a hint to the word "fuck" which is both an offense and a sexual interation. Those names are not PG Names. PLEASE REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY
* %Suck%
to suck means both to suck on candy or any food and to suck a male persons genital. this is not a PG name. PLEASE REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY
... ok i'm getting tired. I hope you can hear me. Right now it's possible in SL to feel offended by the word "shit" (and i bet lots of you are in dange to be blocked for using the word multiple times per day) and cause established residents to change their identity or brands.
THIS IS SHAMERS BEHAVIOUR
It may be "One people, one empire, one leader" tomorrow. Think of it.

Dear LL:
Please remove the last name of Fuchs from your database. Whatever could you possibly have been thinking when you made that a last name??? Do you know how many people that have a name that might be a description of their activity, just because you made that last name? True story, my partner's daughter made an av and that was the last name... _____________________

But it would be interesting to know how LL selects the list of surnames, and what thinking is behind it. |

Fuchs isn't nearly as funny when you know how it's pronounced.

True story - the first person to reach the top of Everest was called Fuchs. It's a real name. Odd, I thought it was Tensig Norgay and Edmund Hillary. _____________________

Dear LL, please call the OP's Mommy and tell her her little boy is playing with the grownup computer again. The OP is not a 'she'...lmao. And, Jo...WAY 2 GO! You are so right about this...I'm afraid to name the Christmas trees I'm buidling for my shop 'Christmas trees' now! LOLOL!!! It would be hilarious, if it weren't for the reality of it. So many people in SL are on a 'God' complex...thinking that have this power in a virtual world. The ones who shout the loudest, complain the most...those are the ones who are the most miserable in RL..and have to come to a virtual world to feel better about themselves. Hey...I got an idea! Those people offend me! Can we AR them all??? |
