Are you okay with Dindu Nuffin?

If you're talking about the same user I'm thinking of, he was also begging for games in the forum few weeks ago.
Some people are just dumb and have no respect for others.

*their

The user was getting attention by begging, complaining, and acting selfishly. The behavior was obnoxious and showed disrespect for the people that give games on this website and contribute regularly.

I mean .... based on the comments here , seems like that guy was an asshole who came seeking attention and mby get some free shit .
I assume support quickly dealt with him tho ...

As for the question ... if i take it to the letter ... do i care about the username or the avatar of people , even if it can be something people can consider offensive ?
Not really ... anything is considered offensive nowadays ...and to be fair most people who feel offended by random stuff like that dont really have any basis to feel that way

Honestly I am less okay with people (mostly Americans from what I can see) being offended by every single damn thing nowadays than I am about someone using arguably inappropriate avatar or username.
In general I don't like people who use memes for their usernames though, because most of those are trolls or just very immature so I tend to avoid interaction them.

You don't want people hiding behind anonymity, but... Many won't answer your question honestly without anonymity out of fear of retaliation.

That said, I personally don't care who uses what name or says what. Words are words, nothing more. The sooner people stop getting offended by every little thing under the sun, the sooner idiots will stop trying to elicit a response. It's simple power dynamics, you get angry or upset, you grant power where power should not exist.

Yes

I don't have any problems with that, they are the ones that might run into problems with everyone blacklisting them.

I don't have problems with usenames or avatars in general. Been around for too long already to be affected much by things like that.
It's just a first impression, I'll judge a person by how they act beyond that

No, I'm not okay with that user name and especially not if the user behaves like this specific guy. But considering what other names support lets pass ... /shrug

Thanks for the replies so far. I'll respond later, when I have more time.

I don't really judge people (and especially internet users) based on their username or avatar, it's a pretty childish thing to do. Doing it with what they post it's another story, however.

It's not us you have to ask. SEnd a support ticket reporting the user.

Yes, I know there's a huge backlog of user reports. But, hey, what are the rest of us going to do about it?

If the guy was otherwise breaking the rules, then fine. But I find the idea abhorrent that someone should be banned for a joke username or profile picture. Being offended is not a good reason for doing anything.

I thought this was a person until I saw your meme link. I clearly do not know my memes.

As far as your question, now that I am informed I am not okay, but I like to err on the side of free speech. People should be free to chose what they want as their usernames and avatars, and we are free to blacklist them if they chose something racist or offensive.

"Some nobody is using a racist meme as their online handle. I gotta point that out and try to spark an outrage over it. And I don't want people hiding behind anonymity because fuck honest opinions."

Support handled the perp didn't they?

I dislike the rampant political correctness that seems to control media these days. I am always for free speech and that includes all political views - even those I find repellent. But I am not okay with the use of racial or sexual epithets here or anywhere else.

Yes. It's a meme. That's all.

they dindu nuffin, its fine

At first glance I thought this said Dunder Mifflin, I was all excited about having a tread about The Office.

Did you report them to Steam? Did you blacklist them here? That's all you can do. Trying to start a witchhunt however just because of a stupid avatar is not a good reason.
