[Ban] SS_Prince_Kuba

[Lysander]

Just because SS is used as an abbreviation for something bad doesn't mean that those two letters can't be used for other things. I honestly feel like such a thing would be very foolish. Just my opinion : /

That would mean we could also use a "Hakenkreuz"(does it have a name in english?) for a banner, cause it was used for something bad doesnt mean it can't be used for other things.

Yes. cute puppy. The cute puppy is a religious symbol and has been used long before the chocolate chip cookie party ever used it. Are you going to tell buddhists and hindu's that they cannot use it?

I know it is a religious symbol.

No. I can't. But it is forbidden to use it since it is a re-engagement in our society. I also can't draw a banner for my clan with a cute puppy on it and say I'm hindu.

As long as it wasn't a reversed cute puppy then there isn't much of a problem in my mind, but I suppose most people still take offense to this sort of thing so I can see why it isn't a great idea to have it as a banner. We've gone abit off-topic here.

I don't think the guy should have to take the SS out of his name, since we can't just go around telling people that they can't use two letters in their name because one time these bad men also used these same two letters. That's just my opinion. It's up to the admins to sort this thing out.

I think we don't have to tell poeple about our history. That stuff happened 70 years ago. It isn't something ancient.
I think one should use common sense when creating a new character and choosing a name.

I think that history should be just that. History. The fact that SS was used in the past shouldn't affect people in the present.

But it does! I think we shouldnt forget our history. We should lern from it.

But as you said befor, we are going abit off-topic here.

I'm very interested, in an opinion from any admin.


at least our discussion bumps this thread.

Somebody has an offensive name on the internet oh noes! get over it

I will never ignore something like this. I would never say, oh no.. its the big internet and I can't do anything.
I know what you mean, but doing nothing isn't an option for me.
So at least I try to point it out.

[Lysander]

Bump it for admins statement!

Regarding the SS tag, we still haven't decided if we can or want to ban two letters without any other reference to chocolate chip cookie germany. It's a clear case when someone is called Himmler or something, but SS itself has, from a world wide perspective, different meanings, and is not globally associated with chocolate chip cookies.
