Because history is made by the winners.....  and this is a tiny example
then you can call your character Stalin but not H_itler

Personally it's not my problem .... for me it is an offense to see a character called Stalin or H_itler (which I write here with censorship _ otherwise does not appear written) but personally I think this is a game and neither is right externalize political ideas.
Pepe also I have posted something similar (irreverently) to ask for an explanation of this

Pepe it's not clear from your post whether you are asking that both be allowed or both disallowed  :lol: well how I read it anyway.  But then it's you, so guessing the latter  :wink:

lol in theory our character names should be anything we want because the era we are playing in is supposedly pre 1500's, before any of these dudes existed BUT this is the internet where people get offended about shit.

The Mongol horsemen of Temüjin under Genghis Khan were known to kill whole nations, total genocide.  Also some dude I think called Tamerlane caused 17m deaths with his rule, about 5% of the worlds population at that time.  We'd be offended by these more relevant names, and ask for name changes too? Or are they too far in history to care - yet people still suffered terribly. 

It opens up a can of worms I guess. 

Another thing, the name H it ler, was just a mangle of the original surname Hiedler (also Huetler, Huettler), which are still somewhat in use today.  That's just interesting fact of the morning  :mrgreen: not relevant to the discussion.

I don't see why people are being overly sensitive about people calling themself names such as H.itler or Stalin. I really couldn't give less of a fuck what people's names are online.

Why can't we have "offensive" and terrible names?

I say we let it all slide. Then we get hilarious shit like "Dirt my old friend The Bad" and "Dildo Gaggins". Bring the mighty club of lame arse censorship and we lose what's truly great about c-rpg... The goons.
Fammi un pompino!

I think I have ball cancer in my right nut :(
Good news everybody! It's not nut cancer :)
Bad news everybody, I got dumped :(

I wonder what dkg_wilhelm has to say to this,  hm
Yes, I know from whence I came! Discontented as a flame, Upon myself I live and glow. All I grasp like lightning flashes, All I leave behind is ashes
Flame I am - that much I know!

Just simple question :

Well trolled, Sir!
I find the idea of defending someone who isn't been violently raped unacceptable on moral grounds.

interesting question actually, would Merc_Napoleon be allowed? technically he committed mass atrocities against his own people as well (read napoleon's march on moscow)

i mean, what are we going to do, just start censoring the names of people who killed their own people? history's pretty replete in that field i fear lol ..
