Forced to Name Change my Argonian Eats-Small-Children in a game featuring cannibalism?

WeyounTM · June 2018

While I do agree that your chars name isn't the most offensive one out there....i am kind of glad that ZoS is trying to cut down on what some of you call "humour" or "sarcasm"...
In an internet gaming world where AIDS and cancer is being used so wildly in a manner that can only be described "disgusting" by every normal thinking human being I am sure glad that at least someone is trying to draw a line.

But I guess in a world where a leader of the "free world" is vomiting things like these all over the twitter-sphere....some people might think of your chars name as not very offensive.

I came across another char the other week called "Aidsforyoo" and I didnt hesitate to report that player. But maybe I am way to old to understand that kind of funny wits you guys are calling humour these days.

If I had to meet an Argonian I’d rather choose Eats-small-children than Farts-in-your-direction for sure.

My nb name is litterally Farts-in-the-wind

I used to have a character called 'Dung-Hoe' as in 'what-hoe!' and 'tally-hoe!'.

It never occurred to me that USians would see it as poo-prostitute.

TBF, those *** are actually HOs

However, you may have to use a garden hoe to turn dung into soil, for planting, so that's legit!

This is my Dutch Hoe, this is my Dung Hoe xD

This is my Dutch hoe I use for dung hoeing!

(these are real things! Although Dutch *** are best for weeding! xD ALSO A TRUE STORY! Google it!)

I feel your name change was entirely unjustified. Your player's name is lore friendly and also appropriate for the game given the nature of the violent themes. Definitely open up a ticket and post a followup.

Have you noticed there REALLY are no children in ESO?

There are issues with certain places where harm to children is a huge issue, and can get video games banned. So. I assume it's to do with that.

There are no children in the game because of players.

In the early days of this game, naked toons performing all manners of sexual acts junked up the environment. It's amazing how much mileage some people got out of just the push-up animation.

Add children NPC to that and you have videos posted followed by "family values" politicians expressing moral outrage and submitting new legislation.

Hmm, someone needs to invent either a *** Hoe, or a Hoe ***. Or go full Santa Cause and say, "*** *** ***", while holding a candy cane and wearing a red velvet suit and hat.

^ This.

@OP
I'd contact them either on the forums, through a ticket or maybe even with a PM. Because If I were in your shoes, I would want to know the basis on which "Eats-Small-Children" is not allowed in a game that can only be sold to / is mostly played by adults (courtesy of our M-rating), does not actually feature any children, and has more than enough NPCs with similar - if not worse - names in-game.. as has been pointed out previously in this thread.
(And while we're at it, I'd want to know which part of the ToS and/or EULA I've 'broken' as well, for future reference)

Worse names have been reported in the past that people could keep, and more innocent names were forced to change. There is no logical consistency. Rather, these decisions seem largely based on the whims of the support staff-member in question.. In which case it is only fair to be able to contest the outcome. I'd highly encourage you to do so.

I got it the Perfect Name

I-Eat-Khajiit

The only draw back is fur balls.

So laden with different meanings. And it rhymes too.

JPS · June 2018

I would just change it in 'Eats-All-Children' and take it from there...

Mureel · June 2018

It's pretty offensive that your name clearly discriminated against large children as if they might be less tasty or wholesome.

Next time try thinking about how that might make someone feel.

that mady my day :-D thx

Pacrooti tried moleasses today. Was quite tasty. Will have to try some other parts of the mole.

Or "All children for mine".

But this topic is just mirror of way of thinking in modern day.
according much fact for common thing and negligate the scandalous thing.

Slurg · June 2018

Perhaps a concern was that the name Eats-Small-Children would perpetuate the stereotype that Argonians are savages. Look at how many people want to turn Argonians into purses, boots, and belts. No, good sir, do not give the good people of Tamriel a reason to fear Argonians!

On a more serious note, this is far from the most offensive names I've seen in game. I won’t even repeat those here.

Badmethod · June 2018

Try renaming it to "Babyfart Mcgeezaxe"! (South Park anyone? :P )

*Remembers a quest feeding a goat to a snake*
*which at the time, I thought somebody got paid for this nauseating idea*

My Conclusion for reading this thread so far...

ESO is not a suitable game for vegetarians.

Aesthier · June 2018

Considering this game has no children you must be STARVING...

Don't worry Holloween is soon you should be able to restock your freezer accordingly.

Surely you mean that it's not a suitable game for someone who wants to role play a vegetarian?

Let's face it, most games aren't suitable to be compared to real life. So I don't know why people keep trying.

Classical statuary is often nude or partially nude. It is art.

Best stay away from that then, since we don't all go about nude and half nude holding a sword, a book or like, some grapes. (Except for those of us who do, you know who you are! BB!)

Graydon · June 2018

It was me. Yesterday my yoing daughter was playing in the backyard and a lizard ran away. It surely was a pretty unnerving close call!

I’m tempted to report this thread for giving me nightmares and chronic stress.

Nerftheforums · June 2018

I chose my race (bosmer) just because of their lore (cannibalism on who harms the flora represented 70% of the race's sexiness for me), and I gave the character a name that should be banned...but it is in Italian, and zos doesn't gives a duck about sware words, insults and any other kind of stuff in non-official eso languages

next time try to use these "offensive" names in Spanish, Portuguese, Danish or any other language different from German, French and English. Results are surprisingly good!

Bam_Bam · June 2018

My characters Billy, Bobby and Benny B*st*rd were frozen by ZOS until I changed their names.

However, once I pointed out that there is a delve in the Rift called "The B*st*rd's Tomb*, they said I could keep the names. I tried to change them back but ZOS must have put a filter in place.

*shrug* flock it.

Chrysa1is · June 2018

flannels and snowflakes my friend. name your next character Eats-Liberals

Chrysa1is · June 2018

because nobody got stabbed in the back and then t-bagged in that story. in ESO, someone gets backstabbed every 4.3 seconds and t-bagged every 4.4. Wont someone think of the children?

Correct, the game is rated M, not AO.

Ajaxduo · June 2018

This is why you don't mix politics with games. People will get offended over anything these days.

Hauxley · June 2018

Not least bit surprised, I used to play world of tanks had a user name ended in 1966, got reported and had to change the name.

Thought it was the first part of my name which i took from small island off the Falklands, boy was i wrong turns out they took offense from the 966 of all things, apparently it was according to who ever reported me that 966 is are was a reference to some *** unit from WWII.

After this no it does not surprise me one bit any more feel sanded some one takes such time in a game to look for things to be offended by, Now you know why the ques are so long to enter dungeons!

Edited this to show a case in point the German N word apparently offends my god just airbrush anything from history you don't like ffs grow up.
