Yeah me too, when I called my healer Josef Mengele!

That name isn't even a joke or a pun. Really not surprising that ZOS doesn't want people running around with names of actual third reich scientists that conducted cruel experiments on humans.
It's one thing to RP as an evil character, but another to name yourself after a real one. At least in my opinion.

I'm kind of vexed by a few of the anti-SJW replies this thread has had. Are we playing the same game? This is a game that has LGBT people as a normal part of the world, the Tamrielic take on the Alt-Right (the Veiled Heritance) are the primary targets of the Aldmeri Dominion quest line.

ZOS are cool people, they understand that people have feelings and are traumatised about things. I mean, if I were someone whose kid had been killed by someone, I'd be upset by a name like that as well. It's all about sensitivity and empathy, which sadly some people are sorely lacking in. There are many quests in ESO though that suggest that the people at ZOS aren't. Which I've often felt genuinely pleased about.

Consider the questline with Velsa and Narahni in the Thieves Guild, too. There's sensitivity all over ESO and it's one of the game's most endearing features. I frankly love that they're a bunch of big, feelsy babies. I've talked about it before in another thread. It makes me happy.

If you want far right freedoms to screw people up and traumatise them? You're probably playing the wrong game.

I mean, you do realise how a name like that would affect someone who's experienced child loss via kidnapping or similar, right???

Good grief.

Even this thread worries me, so I'm going to report it. It's the kind of thing that shouldn't exist.

I'm sorry, but if you have legit triggers (and I'm not talking about the SJW, snowflakey kind, where trigger = offense taken/panties in a twist/butmuhfeels, but the kind that send you into the worst of crippling panic attacks, ptsd etc) it's down to you to protect yourself, not others--much like one with allergies would and should do, they avoid their triggers. If they didn't and instead acted as your types do, insisting that things which don't cater to their diet (or in a SJW's case, their narrow worldview) be removed, many of our food sources would either be banned or would not exist. Not cool, eh?

The game is rated M for a reason. This is a game where at one point skin-stealing Altmer, Khajiit, and cannibalistic Bosmer almost decimate an entire generation of Argonian young, with the Bosmer literally eating them. This is a game where the King of ***, Molag Bal, one of the most controversial Daedric Princes is the first acts main antagonist. This is a game where there is war, where there's necromancy, where there is murder, thievery, and so much more. Life has both its 'big feelsy babies', and it's darker sides. Deal with it. Or you could stay in that bubble and continue to ignore reality with the rest of them. Your choice. I and many others however choose to accept reality for what it really is.

You go on to talk about the 'far-right' (heh, though anyone even a millimeter right from the far-left is considered far-right these days)... well, at least right now they're not committing mass censorship and limiting creative freedoms. At least they're not attacking and actively seeking to destroy the First Amendment, among the others. Your tirades in the name of purity are doing the very same things that you accuse the 'far-right' of. Just ask North Korea. Ask the Taiwanese. Ask any other country where censorship is rife. The left are walking down a very dark path right now, I hope you realize that one day. Hopefully when it's not too late.

I mean, you do realise how a name like that would affect someone who's experienced child loss via kidnapping or similar, right???

If everyone's triggers and personal feelings were catered to like this, there would be no game. There would be no art. There would be nothing. Terrible things happen in life to some, and what they experienced is bloody tragic. But our sympathies stop when you demand that we cater to you and your victim complex. We stop sympathizing when you base and live your entire life around your victimhood. We stop sympathizing when you disregard or attack others who have experienced similar or worse traumas, yet have chosen to move on, be stronger for it, and not let it affect their lives.

Even this thread worries me, so I'm going to report it.

We stop sympathizing with you when you resort to threats of censorship.

I do, but I don't see how it's relevant honestly.

I mean.. There are many stories of mythical beings that eat children, most of which pop up in Christmas traditions. Krampus and Belsnickel, to name a few. These are part of a country's cultural identity. Would you tell these societies to stop celebrating in the current manner because it may hurt the feelings of people who've lost a child?

I would not. Because as horrible and painful as losing a child is, it is not up to the rest of the world to shield these people from those feelings. Someone who's lost a child may take offense at the name "Eats-Small-Children", but they should also realize that it's their point of view that makes it offensive to them. And that it may, in fact, be a funny or innocent name for everyone else. If they cannot make that determination (which makes sense considering it's an emotional subject to them) then that's fine. But in that case it's up to ZOS to say "hey, we understand your feelings. But your not liking this name is personal, and there's nothing wrong with the name itself. Thank you for bringing the matter to our attention, but we will not be taking action against this player at this time."

If we have to ban everything that offends someone, there's no game left to play.

I think they need a better way of reviewing names. If you used Devours-the-Unborn, it would get flagged, but Eats-many-Eggs would not. Yet they are kinda the same.

You offended some delicate flower, and they hold all the power, wielding their offence like a weapon, cutting people down left and right. They lack both reason and humor, just like most Customer Service agents.

Hey I work in Customer Service and that's not funny! YOU SHOULD ALL BE THROWN TO THE WOLVES! OR ALLIGATORS! ALLIGATOR WOLVES I TELL YOU!

Anyway, just call him Feasts-On-Little-Ones. It's ambiguous enough to not violate the rules @S1ipperyJim

So basically, it's OK to be upset if someone was too sensitive and went MODS!!! on you, but if you're upset for some other reason, then you're just too sensitive.

I think i got it. Sensitive-ception!

I......
Its a rated M game
is going to be handling dark things!
This is like saying someone watching deadpool and getting upset at the gore over something has the right to sue the company

I'm pretty sure if someone reported your character's name and it was Rainbows and Puppies they would still force you to name change. I've been half tempted to ask a friend to report a name on a couple characters of mine just so I can get a free name change.

Yeah, this name is not funny.
