Why is my name considered so "offensive?"

16 Nov 2019, 21:56

It's not profane, it's not overly lewd - sure it 'could' be taken as referring to someone's posterior but reality is I first used it as a gamertag years ago for pirate/sailing RPGs. In their context, it was meant to refer to 'booty' or loot as taken from rival ships. In the CoW context, it could apply to resources looted from conquered territories. Anyhow, I've been banned from chat for it twice and do not understand why someone could be so 'offended' by it unless they were just out to take offense at anything (millennial mindset?).

Yep

So anything that is even vaguely sexual in reference, like stating your gender, is enough to be banned? Everyone is so eager to take "offense" nowadays. Future military adversaries: "we have to cease operations - they're offended!"

booty (noun valuable or stolen goods - e.g. those seized in war.

Correct, because you override the system that blocks prohibited names.

My username in plain text says 'already taken.'

Number use in my name is meant to break up the 'flat line' appearance and that's it.
