I wonder if SE would remove the Z title?

Well it's better than Super IMO, so it's cool with me.

I wonder if this is a hot take, because I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Super Saiyan 4 is the goat!

People mostly like Super more than GT simply due to Toriyama's involvement, despite him also having some involvement with GT. Personally with how they quickly devalued God Ki, let alone Super Saiyan God and made Goku arguably the worst thing about Super, I'm ready for it to be retcon'ed out of existence.

Also, SSJ4 > SSG.

Z is just one of the several identifications in russian army... It's just that this symbol was just most prominent in the news. So people just hyped it up to be equal to entire russian army.
Imagine they were using greek letters and Omega was the most reported on. Should then the omega-raid be renamed?

The AP was a mistake. At this point just throw it all into the games I play since I don't play games for entertainment or to escape the horrible world we live in. Please devs, I want to be reminded of all the horrible things in the world so just throw it all in there!

The letter Z isn't even part of the Russian alphabet, so what the op is asking for is to remove a squiggly line that looks a bit like a letter from a completely different language. If someone is so far past the "sticks and stones" principle and is actively calling for random shapes to be banned then I can safely say it's ok to ignore them.

It gets worse folks, in recent days I've seen tanks with V's on them but even more scary they've started on the vowels, some have been spotted with the letter O as well....... If the aggressors don't stop using letters from a language they don't use we will all be stuck with grunting and pointing before long.

I mean it most likely refers to "Zapad" which is the romanization of West in Russian with "V" being "Vostock" for East, so they do have meaning however the title Z in ffxiv doesn't share that meaning. obviously.

Can we stop injecting real life politics and events into literally everything?
It's clearly not a reference to that.

Also this wouldn't even be a discussion if it wasn't something that became a trendy thing to talk about on social media, we're like entering stupid territory here of people freaking out about the ok hand sign or accusing everyone who's a Norse mythology enthusiasts of being sussy.
Or uh, having a shaved head to nazi skinheads...
( Yes people do that, I've shaved my head since I was a teen and have had multiple occasions of people doing that. One was even violent and I was attacked by '' activists '' on my way to the cinema with a friend... Ironically enough an immigrant friend from school... )

Are we supposed to remove the letter '' Z '' from the alphabet too?
There is absolutely zero context of it ingame that ties it to any ongoing conflict.
So sick and tired of these black and white ways of viewing things even without any context that would make it problematic.

If people see some random person doing the ok hand sign or a Z in a game and their minds jump to this stuff then GO AND TOUCH SOME ACTUAL GRASS HOLY SHIT THE BRAIN ROT PLEASE TAKE A BREAK FROM SOCIAL MEDIA AND TALK TO SOME REAL PEOPLE.

Also Russophoba seems to becoming a real thing given all the uproar about a letter.

They fear what they are told to. Sheep eats what it's given. Not many will look past that.
