    Really? You get that uncomfortable over a video game character with a certain name?
    I'm not sure if you misunderstood, or I'm misunderstanding this question. But I'm uncomfortable with this person because of the bullying I endured from them. I'm not simply uncomfortable with the name itself. I see my tormentor all around, even though I blisted them. Blist only solves some of the issues. If this person continually harassed me I suppose I'd have something else to use, I could GM them away. But I guess fortunately they haven't went any farther. But every sense I had to go through all of that, now every time I see them I'm reminded of what they did, and it causes me undue stress.

    Have you ever been bullied yourself? Have you ever experienced the anxiety of seeing your tormentor around every corner? Or are you the kind of person that is able to shrug it off and not care? Some people can, and some people can't. Everyone is different. And as far as demanding a change, I think your just putting words in the ops or my mouth. It's just something that would help. We deal with our issues as best we can as is. Like i have, I did what I could. I removed the names from the UI. It's clear to me that you personally have not dealt with this kind of issue. And your right, there is a problem with society. The same problem that we've had forever. And that's making it easy for these types of people to exist and operate. Games in general, or the internet in general creates a world for this type of activity to thrive. You're anonymous.

People who break up also have to deal with seeing each other if A) they got no choice or B) they happen to run into each other by chance and most of them don't throw a hissy fit just because they saw someone they no longer like. "Get over it" is not always a dismissive response; sometimes you do have to get over it and go beyond it so that you can do what you want without letting some past incident hold you down.


    I been bullied before when I was in school and I even contemplated suicide. Since I'm an adult now, I learned not to let some random jerk on the internet bother me since most of their antics are just childish at best and have the power to report a problem player/person or just go elsewhere if it's not working out. No one can help you if you can't help yourself.

    Have you ever been bullied yourself.....
    For every action there is a reaction and that is the most important part of anything that happens in life you can CHOOSE whether to make yourself miserable over it or not.

    I've been bullied from the time the earliest I can remember from things as simple as my race (mexican) living in the US constantly being seen as a second class citizen to fam members harassing me for being the "poor" ones in the fam since my dad wasn't around and we didnt have a full fridge but at the same time I also had people around who taught me that I wont gain anything from moping around victimizing myself that isnt an excuse, you know what I did? Decided to shit on everyone back whoever shit on me by being successful and not letting them see me down.

    Think of it this way what advice would you give yourself if someone came to you with your same scenario
