naive = giving someone benefit of the doubt based on a single screenshot of their name… ok

No, probably not.

But what are you going to do? Censor the whole of the German language just cause one German guy was an ass half a century ago?

You don’t think that’s a bit stupid?

I would understand if OP was asking for additional action if someone named their character Hitler or something explicitly bad, which would mean there is not sufficient language filtering. But that’s just not the case here.

To OP - Block them and move on, stop being petty.

I met an ogryn with the name c-umfarter, and while I found it weird and uncomfortable since there may be minors playing, I ignored him because you can’t stop a troll in any other way than ignoring. Besides, getting offended at a name from someone you’ll almost definitely never meet again is ridiculous. It only becomes more than a word on a screen if you allow it to

M Rated game, if minors are playing it, it is a failing on their parents.

Meme names in a video game I never.
I will be reporting all of you to the internet police for been to edgy.

But seriously no one cares what famous mass murderer you name your self after.

Yeah, you are. Thanks for agreeing.

There’s no such thing as ironic fascism; people know exactly what they’re doing when they do things like that. It’s very, very intentional.

and that’s the issue; there’s no way to report names like that that are intentionally avoiding the filters using in-game UI tools.

To be honest that’s overly sensitive. If you wanted to mute everything that “could” be associated with some sort of atrocity, mute anything warhammer 40k while you are at it.

I mean, it is. Just block them and move on. Grow a pair.

You realize all those loading screen blurbs you’re reading are straight out of an authoritarian’s wet dream right? It’s literally Orwellian. The whole Imperium is just one fascistic, xenophobic, authoritarian regime.

I think Nazi’s are dumb fcks, but I have thick skin. People can name themselves whatever stupid sht they want. Who f*cking cares. And if you really don’t want to see nazi propaganda, do not read the loading screen texts.

It’s not about thickness (which is itself a form of privilege because you don’t feel threatened by them), it’s about the paradox of tolerance. WH40K’s Imperium is a satire of an extremely right-wing reactionary theocratic fascist state. That’s not an excuse nor is it an authorization to utilize it in the performance or advocacy of fascism. This is extradiegetic, and you smoke screening for fascists with diagetic excuses is just itself passive advocacy.

40K lore is like a “white power” gamers wet dream.

What did you expect to happen?

Privilege sounds like a good thing to have then.

Or maybe im not offended by this silly name because i have seen more sht than you can imagine and i became immune to nonsense. Maybe Germans should be offended by the OP because they are complaining about a German phrase that is not even vulgar. Assuming and being prejudiced is more wrong to me than this silly name.

It’s almost as if you’re not the target for it, but the amount of effort you’re going through to perpetuate it is pretty suspicious.
