I don't see anyone naming themselves racial slurs or curse words. Hell, Charmin Ultrasoft had to change their name due to covid. More importantly, it's a name. This is not SQE going to their home and breaking their fingers for something, this is not some crazy mass policing. This is 'hey we don't like the name, change it'. Equating that to policing is absolutely blowing it out of proportion.
The problem is that one GM does not police things the same way that another GM does. There is no consistent policy how or what ppl are allowed to name their char. Yes you can report someone for anything in this game and if you are out of luck anything you say can be used against you in someones head. That is the issue. Not the names themselves, even though it is ridiculous they need to be changed.
