Having worked in retail for 18 years, including through holiday seasons; people are terrible when they think they can get away with it. Also I have Black Friday PTSD.

The only names that annoy me are the ones that look like dsfjhdfdslaksfh or lkhasdfulhaweflh or dfdasdfasdfasd because you know what they're going to be up to. It's especially annoying to look at the player list and see a dozen such names.

There are nations which do not care about racist words being used by them or someone else.
This thing censoring certain words is exclusive to western countries, and we have people playing from all over the world.

I painstakingly chose my Seawolf femroe name from the list of roe words and meanings and it ended up looking something like that in the end lol.

On the topic of inappropriate names, I can't recall ever having seen one, though I'm sure they're around. Sometimes I'll notice a name if it's especially pretty, interesting, or goes with some sort of theme someone has going on with their character. Generally I don't pay them too much mind I guess.

Actually, the correct name for that meme (if that is actually is a thing) is Ok, Boomer.

Many who parrot "boomer" don't even know at what age the boomer generation starts and ends...
Anyways, poeple have always been jerks, no matter which generation they are.

Same. But I will say that older folks are more likely to overuse the "I don't understand technology" when they need help with anything relating to electronics. If I got paid extra for every time I've heard "My phone is smart but I'm not" I might be rich.

I find people who plays Lalas seriously more offensive than names actually.

This turns a bit off topic now, but yeah, what is the topic here after all?

12 years here, and 6 years as department manager. My personal observations and experiences (See, I already start to put in disclaimers, because someone might get offended already). The Millienials are far worse. They have no basic understanding of life and without their smartphones, they are helpless infants. "Siri, show me..." this, "Alexa, do ..." that. If they don'get Instagram likes they are "depressed", if they have to take criticism they are "tilted", if nobody Likes the image of their meal they just made and uploaded to the WWW they are "offended" and if they don't get a high sallary in their first years they are "discriminated". Sorry that I can't read your handwriting because you are used to type and swipe. Or a post that is longer than 160 characters - "Needs a TL;DR". Degeneration at its highest forms!

I don't know anyone over 40 that asks me what the difference of a regular detergent or the colour detergent is - with a Smartphone in their pockets to look for information. At the end of the day, they can't sleep because of permanent media consumption, Netflix, What'sApp, Snapchat that they are "burnt out" at the age of 35 because instead of slowing down their lives, they rather keep sleeping bad and compensate that with Starbucks coffee or intoxicate themselves with RedBull. If you ask them to put down the phone, they bring up the worst sentence every addict comes up with: "I could stop anytime". Heard that from smokers...

I have much, much more respect for the Pre-1990 generation than for the current "adults" for the reasons above. Dependent on smartphones and megacompanies.
