My name is not against ToS/Rules - Yet being forced to change it

[_Amorphous]

All the people in here talking about reporting the OP have names similar to real people I can google. I am free to report that because their real life name references "break my immersion and I'm also offended on behalf of the people they're referencing, who never asked to be used in such a way."

Please report me for this. The GM could probably use a quick laugh and an easy ticket to dismiss.

Why is it difficult to understand the problems with the name in the first place baffles me, it is wrong, I don't know why we need 13 pages of this and I don't know why af Moderator does not simply shut this one down, because it is pointless, likewise it will ask many questions about people that think it is ok, and can't see it for themself as it is.

And it also makes me want to dodge those people at any cost and keep my family members away from them as it is.

The difference is just how people define the word. I've always seen the word as meaning the appearance of a little girl. It's not until many years after I first heard the term I even looked up anything about the lolicon origin.
Others like yourself however can't see anything except it's origin.
You're free to dodge whoever you want of course but this is just to point out that your definition of the term isn't universal as we see from this thread. Just cuz someone is defending the use of the name doesn't mean they're a pedo.

There isn't much that can be done by SE to stop that from an administrative pov. IPs change, so an IP block won't work. MAC filtering also wouldn't work, as that changes with each hop in a route.
They need to either make changes to housing to allow block lists to function, which stormy hates because venues, or make it so trial accounts can't access even more, like search info and housing districts at all.

Then they haven't done enough, because that person is still being abused and all they've done is an account ban that even the dumbest kid can skate around by just making a new account. There's a workaround for most things if you're determined enough; doesn't mean they just shouldn't try because he might skate around it. Try the IP ban. Maybe his ISP gave him a static one and it'll actually be a pain in the ass for him to change. Hell, when he wants to make a new account, he has to go to the same webpage on the same PC using the same internet connection to set up a new account, right? Maybe find a way to block him there. Idk. I agree with what you're saying in the last bit though; there need to be more changes to this game overall to make it less friendly for stalkers, but they don't even do that either. Game's been awful in this regard for years and it just stays that way. It's a topic for another thread, but it pisses me off.

More to the point, outside of that thread I posted (I only defaulted to it because it was easiest to find) I could name so many more instances of people just being awful in this game and allowed to continue by GMs who don't do jack because on -these- infractions of the ToS, they enforce the rules sporadically at best. Look at the guy who filmed himself flying through the Fall Guys arena and uploaded it to twitter. Man cheats in pvp every day. Where are the GMs? Nowhere to be seen! Look at the bots under Limsa, just chilling there. Or the bots flying to different nodes in the same zone. Or the bots farming exploratory zones. Same dudes, week after week, no GM action there. Like ... the point is these GMs are not consistent in how they enforce the rules of their own game. They bow to the whims of hurt feefees over harmless BS like some banter in a dungeon or a name shared by thousands of other players, while letting the rest of the game go straight to hell without lifting a finger. Where's the clarity? If the name is so bad, can they make it inaccessible in the character creator going forward? That way nobody ever has to get offended by it again, right? But they won't do this. Because it's not even about the name; it's about the fact that someone got upset and the moderation team is hell bent on placating offended players even when it's frankly obvious that they're just weaponizing their reports to strike at people they dislike.

Well 12-14 year olds are not supposed to be married away, kids need to have time to be kids, and there is really nothing good you can say about a name like this, if the Op is blond about it, then maybe should actually decide and look into things as it is.

If the general view of the word is looked upon bad and more, then that alone should be a clear signal to that you definetely should not name yourself like that, or investigate and see for yoursel what the problem is about it and bend a knee and change it, and if am persistant on it that it is ok or whatever, then should expect people not taking it lightly and doing the right thing, to do whatever to remove bad stuff and pending on the situation, call in the authorities as well in the real world.

Did the OP imply any way about any of that? No. You are giving your own meaning to this which has nothing to do with OPs name. Do not blame your own delusions on other ppl. Not everyone lives on the internet and has nothing else to do than police the internet because they are too well off and don't have actual problems.

OP do you need diagram to explain?

Considering the divide in this thread, I would place it more in the middle.

I feel like a lot of people here would justify certain images and animations because "she's not really a child she's a 100 year old dragon that just looks and acts like a child."
