Confusing Restricted Names

[Kolsykol]

I think it's partly just for ease of moderating in this context.

Out in the real world if a brand wants to use it as a name or whatever with no negative connotations, and consumers accept that, that's their business.

Within the game, if someone wants to use it there is a fair chance that they are doing it deliberately and I don't think it's unreasonable for the moderators to just block it outright as an option. There will be a very small number of people who might want to innocently use the name, but with a near-infinite range of names to be created overall, the chances of it being an inconvenience are low.

I kinda agree with you I just disagree with it because I think it's lazy and catches people in the crossfire.
It's like moderating words in a lazy and broad way too, you end up censoring completely harmless words in other languages just because they have a '' naughty word '' built into it.
In worst case scenarios people can even end up being banned from platforms altogether because they used their real name which has happened before, even tho it's common in your native country.

I don't think that it should be assumed that someone is doing it deliberately for a negative reason either, when I google '' Thule '' nothing related to that bad stuff even comes up ( could be based on location tho ).
There's a lot of other stuff like this I can think of like the okay hand symbol and how people lost their minds about that and started going after completely innocent people, I just believe more in benefit of the doubt.
I get that companies are not going to operate like that, I just fundamentally disagree with it and will criticize it.

That OK symbol thing actually originated on 4chan and they took the bait.

That's how people are these days.

On the first page of google results there is a wikipedia page on Thule. In it's table of contents it lists "In N*zi Ideology" as an entire category.
