So regarding offensive names...

imo whether it be by name or by insult, if you default to racist, sexist or homophobic slurs, the only one who should feel foolish is yourself. If you want to be edgy or insult someone, at least put an ounce of creativity into it. With everything you could mock, choosing race, sexuality or gender is just so Boomer it hurts.

Please explain boomer to me. I dont understand this meme. Usually it's young people making fun of you for things. Old people don't give a crap anymore in my experience.

It's a term often applied incorrectly to belittle anybody born before a certain point, namely the 'baby boomer' generation. Often it's just another form of discrimination, ironically, since it's technically ageism when used negatively - and anybody living in the real world will be well aware that the 'boomer' generation are a very mixed bag when it comes to their views.

It follows an interesting trend, though. Often those who get up in arms over discrimination tend to resort to it themselves, even if unknowingly.

As for the topic at hand, I can't recall seeing any inappropriate names within the game itself. If I ever did, I'd probably just shrug and move on with my life. Maybe report it if it was genuinely in poor taste.

Boomers is a generational term. Generally associated with racism, sexism, homophobia, complaining and general grumpiness

Honestly, from my schooling experience, that perfectly describes millenials, or whatever they call people born in the 80s and 90s.

Kids are always cringy, no matter the generation. But when you become an adult, its generally not the millennials who are the real bad ones. But that doesn't mean there are not exceptions, just as there are to boomers. But if you look at the big picture.

Also for someone who doesn't know the term "boomer" you sure played that "millennial" card like one LOL

I'm 30 . If that makes me a boomer then most of the population in this game is.

And I never said I didn't know what a boomer was, I don't know the meme use. Cuz I don't really keep up with social media memes. I just play games.

That makes you a millennial. It's pretty much mid 80's onwards and ends just before the turn of the millennium and then it's Gen Z.

I know, that was the joke. He was saying I knew the millennial term like a boomer would. Him claiming I'm a boomer would make most players Boomers.

"Boomer" was something that came out as retaliation of the trend of blaming millennial for everything over really dumb and stupid reasoning (which is still an ongoing trend). The word now is used in certain contexts to describe somebody of that generation who fit certain stereotypes. I have yet to see it belittle somebody /because/ they're a baby boomer, just, when a baby boomer is fulfilling the stereotype associated with it.

But knowing how the human race can be, it'd not surprise me if somebody has.

And you'd be surprised by what comes out of older people's mouths. It's not just young people who can make fun of or be disrespectful of others.
