if I were to call someone of asian decent "slant eye", there would be no mistaking my rasicm. If I came into the server with the name slant eye, i would surely be kicked and there would be no gray area. If I came into the server with the name round eye, I should not be surprised if I was asked to change it. It is merely the mirror of an known insult.
I was told in game that the term round eye meant nothing derogatory during the Viet Nam war. I had to laugh, if I was allowed to say things that were OK, during that time, I might be locked up for hate crimes. Times change, people change, things that offend are ever evolving. Hell there is even a word in Dutch we are not allowed to say here, even though that word does not offend me, our Dutch friend lose their mind when they hear or see it. Shouldn't I be considerate of their feelings?
Round eye was asked to change his name by two Admins, at the point he didn't, it was no longer about if his name offended, it was about an Admin asking for a name to be changed and being ignored. Coming back with the name Hitler was his childish choice, but a name that is allowed. Hitler as a name is allowed, Hitler Rocks is not. I have done a lot of studying to be an Admin here and there are things done and said here that piss me off but I let them go because it not against the rules. So when I do say something, rest assured, I know what I am talking about.
