I wonder if SE would remove the Z title?

Bored, op?

As a preemptive measure, all words will be removed from the Internet. We will now begin navigating by smell.

Be very, very careful around Deviant Art.

I laughed so frickin' hard!!

I must've missed something: why does it need to be changed or removed, exactly?

Same question, what's going on?

The title Z in FFXIV has absolutely nothing to do with the real world and what is going on in Russia. It is also a letter. We're not going to cancel part of the Alphabet just because they decided to slap a letter on their military equipment.

I honestly hope they leave it as is. People need to have the intelligence to discern intent. Was the title "Z" in FFXIV created with the intent to support the russian troops invading you Ukraine? No. Obviously not. And quite honestly that should be enough for people. Otherwise next thing we know is they'll also be asking Square to remove the /slap emote because Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars and well they can't have that, obviously it would mean they support Will Smith in promoting violence when people say things that you might find distasteful.

That is really detrimental mentality.

Hey just so you know. The last thread got deleted by moderators.

Literally drop it OP. It's a title that came out WAY BEFORE THIS CRAP HAPPENED. /endthread

Bad Red Mages act like Zorro and do Z

You know what?


N is looks like a Z if you rotate it 90 degree.


So better to remove N too.

Z is a designation used by the Russian Military to refer to specific troops. Thus some people want to remove the title <Z> because Russia bad Red Scare 2.0 bullshit.

Also, OP, this is the fifth thread someone has made on this stuff, It's not getting removed. It's best to just get over it and realize it's a Gundam reference and not everything is about Current year+X.

I must be out of the loop.
What's wrong with Zed?

If "Z" will be added to forbidden symbols/whatever it's called ones by larger entities like EU and or USA then companies having services in those regions will have to comply. The question is how it would be phrased. We still have WW II games with full Nazi Germany or Soviet Union not to mention Hitler/Stalin themes. IMHO it's very unlikely to happen by law to such extent, but it can happen due to Twitter outrage.

Personally I won't be using it. I switched to it after getting my WHM weapon but now there is an awful war just around the border of my country.

The problem with Z or V is not that they are used by troops but because Putin propaganda elevated "Z" to a symbol of their "way". They have kids wearing it, propaganda clips with everyone with "Z". Everyone pro Putin, pro "special operation". And Russians do use it to show support (wherever from brainwashing or fear) so it's going the same way as hailing to swastika and so on.
