I don't understand how this is offensive at all. Would you be offended if my name was "arm"?

I can understand how it would be offensive if you're not too popular with the ladies.

Official Woman Response: It's fine, it's not offensive, it's just a shortened name of an actual female body part. and a very important one, i might add.

p.s. c.l.i.t. is also the name of a terrorist animal rights group/international ring of jewel thieves, so if its banned for anything it should be that.

Huh? I think this is a perfect name that needs to be changed. We have to remember we have players are young as 7(from what I have met). With that said we have many under 15 who play this game also. Non of them should be asking what this name means that they seen on CC.

So does this mean children are asking there parents what 'perchorin' means? A pretty weak argument there Bruce.

I think 'arm' would be okay... 'armpit' is stretching it though.

Ugh you fail to miss the whole point. They can also google, porn, or anything else. I do not see them allowing any of those things here. Using "google" as your argument is very weak...

Jake Williams is a porn star, does that mean I should have my username changed? Get over yourself, Bruce.

There are going to be as many seven year olds asking their mum what a clit is from a cc username as there are them asking what an Incandenza is or a nagerous is.

Anyway, I think a precedent has already been set for this case in R vs King_Herpes, 2008.

Oh but what about the children! Won't someone please think of the children!

Seriously that's a pretty tired argument. You want to keep children from seeing words like "clit", well, that's your issue as a parent, you should be monitoring what sites your children go to and what they read on the internet. Good luck with that... CC can't assume the responsibilities of parents.

And how exactly would it harm a child to see a word? I don't get this american mentality that certain words are so bad that you need to be of certain age to read them.

No porn is entirely a legal issue....an offensive word isnt.
So google is actually a very strong issue.
Nag pointed out the best example ever.

This is closed

offensive names, should that not be for an admin to decide? Just because a mod thinks it is not offensive does not an admin thinks it is a good business decision.

brucey, the point that AoG and I are making is that the clitoris is an actual body part. C()N! in its alphabetic form would be offensive. Objecting to Clit or Testes, for example, is being over-sensitive. And this is coming from one of the top 5 over-sensitive players on CC. I'm also in the top 20 most reasonable players on CC, so that may balance it out.

I'm in the top 5 most random comparison arguers here on CC, and this is like kicking a chicken. I mean ya, the chicken is kicked, but does that mean we have to unkick the chicken?
