Abortionmage name, do we approve of it?Follow

I am secure enough for a name like that to not really bother me in the slightest.

Most people would be far more offended by the two characters sitting next to each other named Gofu and Ckyourself (anyone remember those?) I happened to think that was hilarious, for the record.

I'm pro-choice, and I still think the name is quite tasteless.

Not offensive though.

To clarify though, if someone were to have a name like "Killchristians" then yeah, I think that in that case the name would be "too much." This is just a person having a chuckle at a harmless, albeit tasteless, joke.

The OP, obviously. All that silly olive beer getting to your head Chewzer?

I am in that group that rarely gets offended by anything and laugh at names like Hellostfunoob etc BUT!
I will say this, If I was a father and my son/daughter was playing (children do play-argue all you want should they should they not who cares they do)I would be upset with some of the exposure and lack of common courtesy displayed everywhere in the game. Always look from both sides.

As a parent, I just keep my kids locked in their closets. I will let them out when they are 40. It's working well for me.

As a FFXI player, I am not going to waste a GM call on something so trivial. I would like to have any real concern I may have in the future taken seriously without a history of petty grievances backing up my sincerity.

Complaining about stupid **** only gets you fed to dragons.

That's your concern as a parent, not everyone else's. You're putting your kid (likely against game rules, unless you're liek way old bro) into an environment where you know it's unrated by ESRB and where the control of content in the game is limited. If you don't want your kid to possibly be exposed to something; don't put them somewhere where they might be exposed to it.

Not if you "home school" them and keep them in in their "room" between "classes".









(That sounded more rapey than I attended)

If you happen to find "AbortionMage's" clinic in Jeuno (which I am doubtful of as he is most likely not even a real abortionmage) it is probably within your rights to picket it.

Jus' sayin'.

I wouldn't shelter my children whatsoever one learns best from experiences, real life ones. That doesn't mean others can't have the common courtesy of being polite and respectful. I find the most lewd and racist remarks hilarious but I dont have a "so what if theres kids here in ls the game is rated X the parents should X they shouldn't be X etc" That way of thinking is ignorant and childish. I am not some disgruntled failed parent I don't even have kids. It takes no effort whatsoever to be civilized, but thats off topic. And your point of view on abortion is moot. The point isn't wether its wrong or not but wether it might be offensive or a little too strong perhaps. I also agree calling a GM or something is well extreme but if you honestly have issues with it then by al means DO take it to the next level because now that you stood up for yourself against the majority now don't cower out now with bark and no bite and follow your fight through. I would rather cater to the one respectable parent who gives a **** as opposed to the (probably 18-27 yr old crowd who thinks its cool to have a so called educated
opinion on abortion like anyone cares what they think and are gonna play ffxi regardless and find something else to rag about sooner or later).

Too far.

Just to be clear, you're the one offended, not the children, and most parents who don't want children to know about real life issues like abortion are simply waiting for someone else to educate their own children for them. Couple hundred years ago, kids used to speak 3 languages by the time they were 8. Now we get offended if they see a booby at 15.

I mean, seriously, the dig against children watching violence is that they'll replicate it. What, they're gonna learn about abortion and then...what?

By the way, these new Old Spice commercials are gold.
