Swish's story wound up being surprisingly relevant.

I have to admit the parallels are uncanny.

Fact of the matter is that "joke" was not one bit funny and anyone with a healthy dose of empathy would agree.

Anyone defending such humor probably has a sick brain.

I like how you sat on the fence and decided to bandwagon later in the thread [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You're absolutely right. It's disrespectful...


to tell people what they can joke about, especially when comedians are the subject.

If anyone would have gotten a chuckle out of it, it would have been Robin. Shut up.

I wrote a response to this and more on the "joke" but deleted.

I see you are going to be a coward and use Jimjam's excuse for your lack of proper social acumen in creating a highly disrespectful "joke" when it's not a cultural thing at all but a lack of empathy on your behalf.

You proved as such when you expressed that the only people who could be bothered by the "joke" were relatives. In actuality many people could find the poking of fun at RW's death literally right after it as highly distasteful, upsetting, and disrespectful.

Sorry, but using the cultural card doesn't get you out of this one.

***I also made my position quite clear on this "joke" the first time you told it awhile back. Feel free to create whatever narrative you want as you always do when pointing out your "facts." [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Got it resolved - was completely my fault, due to offensive character names. The P99 staff is being super generous and allowing me to continue to play on P99 after a few name changes/character deletions.

What's that name again ?

The one that would have been seen by people on the server was Gangerbanger. Back when I made the character I was having a difficult time being creative that day, so I plugged that in while trying to come up with something. The name filters did not catch it so I just decided to roll with it.

The others were, which have not been played in years:
Jewid - level 3 druid, made in jest years ago and never played. Deleted now
Mulebitch - level 1 I believe, made in jest years ago and never played. Deleted now
Wyte Pwr - 21 SK (human). I completely agree with this one being way over the line. In fact, when I started playing again I stripped this character and rerolled my SK in an attempt to keep people from seeing it. The plan was always to delete this character, I was just dragging my feet on it and got punished accordingly. He is deleted now.

Truly sorry if my name(s) offended anyone. Years ago when I made the characters I was not considering the impact the names may have on others, possibly ruining their gaming experience. The funny thing is I was just discussing Ganger's name with someone on Friday night, saying that it probably would be best for me to request a name change for him.

Honestly I can't blame the OP for this: after all the terrible names I've seen (and threads about how the staff doesn't care about terrible names), hearing that the staff didn't just change a name like "Gangerbanger", but actually banned a player for choosing it, was one of the biggest surprises in this thread for me.

Not saying that name or his other character names were ok (clearly they weren't), but just I can't blame OP for thinking he can get away with "Gangerbanger" when there are so many similarly trashy character names.

Quite self-explainatory indeed...

You know what, I can respect this. ^^^

I find those names awful. To step up, acknowledge that you did not think how the names could bother OTHERS is a really huge step in the right direction and proves that you do have a conscience.

You didn't say it was due to a bad upbringing, or it was due to your culture why you created such offensive names, you admitted the truth which was you made bad names!

We all make mistakes, and do bad things to other people, it's inevitable. The key is being able to admit when one is wrong, and acknowledge that the feelings and thoughts of others DO matter.

Respect and kudos to you.

Nothing to be sorry about. Some people are just all about overkill. The kind of people whose kid says something they dont like so they roadhouse him in the nads.
