Lol, I guess you really have a problem with my character huh :P You are free to judge, can't stop that. I don't feel the need to base my entire character off her; I liked her name and she is a female archer, so tada.

Again, fantasy game, and in this fantasy game I wanna be a catgirl.

While we're talking about it, my problem with your character is actually that you chose to name her after someone who wasn't in the source canon. Her character is an insertion into an already fleshed out and complete universe by someone who had little to no grasp of the author's intent for the story. Therefore, I find her cheap, trashy and out-of-place. So that's what I think of when I see your name.

But whatever. Basically inconsequential to me.

The point is that Anime (and other media) characters have special meaning to individual people, they resonate with something in that person's experience. So Why does anyone feel a need to critique a character name chosen by another player?

If it's so inconsequential, why are you so insulting about their name?

To be perfectly honest, I wish people would not name their characters like that.

Why? What does it matter to you? If they choose some lore accurate 'name' where the name fit's the rules of lore but is otherwise meaningless and difficult to pronounce or type, is it really any different to picking an anime character to name your avatar for? Really, what does it matter to you? It's their choice, why can't you just respect that and move on?

Because that's what the thread was about. If this was in-game I would have walked right on by.

Insulting others because of their choice of name is what the thread is about? Really?

I just *don't* see that in the original post;

Anyone else here named their character after an anime character. My character is from the monogatari series. if your character is named after an anime character and you are on the Diabolos server let's be friends. I'm already friends with Chitoge Kirisaki, Lina Inver, and Kotori Minami

I could have sworn it was more asking people who have used an anime character as inspiration to list their chaacter(s) and source reference, and possibly, by implication, why they chose them. Oh, and asking them to be friends if they share the same server as the OP. Definitely nothing about being judgmental and insulting.

rude.

Wow. O.O Who would have thought someone could dislike a made up character so much. If that's your opinion, fine. I really don't understand why people are getting so riled up about a NAME. Lol. I'm an avid lover of all things LOTR and Hobbit, even if they are not original characters from the books. We're all having a respectful discussion here; you're not better than anyone else just because your name follows lore...and honestly to say that my character is cheap and trashy is very rude and hurtful...even if she is made up. So congrats on being the first naming convention elitist jerk on the forums.
