The title 'Z'

[ZeroRaziel]

The title 'Z' that one can obtain for completing their Zodiark zeta is quite old. Given recent events in the Ukraine and the letter Z becoming a pro-Russia symbol, perhaps it's time to change it.

No. Not gonna happen.
Was talked over multiple times. All treads got purged in the end.
Quick summary just for you.
1). Don't bring politics into a video game.
2). It's just a letter.
3). Russian military uses lots of other letters for identification as well (like "V, "I" and "O"). Whole alphabet should be banned now?
4). No

SE is a business, businesses is withdrawing from Russia in big style, it would be the right thing to do.

No, changing the title would be the immoral thing to do.

Start with Z, and where does it end? Remove K from everything due it the KKK using it? A, because anarchists use a variation of it? Every single letter in the alphabet because someone, somewhere, has used it as a symbol for whatever shady/illegal activity?

The title is fine as is since it has zero relation to what Russia is doing.

Yes, some are very selectively engaging in moral exhibitionism that they thought wouldn't cost them too much. They don't have a problem with countries which initiated other conflicts across the world, and are happy to do business in some places with very shady practices. Don't see the point in punishing Russian citizens to please self-satisfied Twitter mobs on their next purity spiral high, tbh. Not like said mobs have any real understanding of the situation or its history beyond what they're told by people eager to keep them distracted and clamouring for war to suit their own agendas. Constantly trying to drag SE into kowtowing to your ideological preferences, when this site really isn't the venue to discuss such issues, is poor form.

Just like anything kupo all in moderation including "wokeness." Dropping a simple letter because its used in a distasteful manor would be imho beyond moderation.

Context is important. Nobody is calling for Z to be dropped out of words or removed from the alphabet.

It's just the specific element of Z alone as a sort of badge, which undeniably does resemble the way it is being used as a symbol of indicating support for Russia whether you see that resemblance as an issue with it or not, and whether you think that means its usage in the game needs to change or not.

I find these arguments even more ridiculous than the OP's one.

I struggle to believe you dont comprehend the difference.

Not saying I agree with the OP, but come on now...
