I wish my dragons would sell because the Coli isn't even loading for me. :/ But they aren't. And it's depressing because so much cool stuff is so expensive.

Alex: Yeah I mean....I thought we got along fine the couple times we did talk...though maybe I should be glad I'm blocked....a lot of her posts lately is...she's coming off as a big SJW(she went on a big thing about Growler being a slur or a bad name or something like that recently hence why the Embear name is in its stead) like the kind on DR.

Snowy: I've blocked one or two people on this forum but one is permabanned, the other doesn't post hardly at all anymore. I had good reason to block em(harassment, constantly looking for something to fight me about, etc). But this....mrph.

Wait seriously. Someone got it's name changed? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. A Growler is a BEER STEIN. I have several in my house, how is that a slur? If that's a slur then that's so stupid and you should be glad they blocked you. That's just freaking insane.

It's apparently a slur or somesuch for 'vagina' or something....which I've never heard of that and that's not the first thing I think of when I hear 'Growler'...especially when I'm looking at a goddamn bear. D:

Eh, Growler is supposedly a pretty well known explicit practice. People noticed and giggled, and Undel didn't want that to be what people thought of when they saw the familiar, so they changed it to a new name. Which is an adorable pun (embear omg) so I can't really complain!

... Do people on FR *really* get offended that easily? Whatever this 'slur' is, I've never heard of it.

I mean Embear is cute and all but I still think that's pretty stupid, since if it's well known, I don't know it. I mean... I think of a beer stein. Or a bear. Since it was a BEAR. And to change it for a bunch of immature people is taking it back to the WoW days where people were super immature with that axe called The Nicker. Because well... I dont know I thought that was stupid too.

They had to change that axe because stupid people in trade would make stupid jokes and spam with it. I thought a growler was a container of beer. >_> Shows what i know. Apparently, it can also refer to a woman's bits in a derogatory way.

On the other hand, they allow some pretty skeevy usernames...

I know why they changed the axe. I think it's stupid that they changed it because of immature people in the first place. They'll change the name of a bear but I've seen offensive dragon names and usernames that have YET to be changed that have been reported. So... Yeah.

To be fair, it was wonderful and refreshing logging back in to all of the tears about that axe. I laughed a lot. >_> And sorry, I misunderstood.

And yeah. I tend to report the worst names. So far it's worked as well as throwing spaghetti at a wall to paint it.

I always thought it was a pastry, nickname around here for bear claws. Once again the "nothing may offend my delicate sensibilities" police won against reason and maturity.

Yeah. Don't get me wrong. Embear is super cute and punny! I just don't agree with every freakin name change cause its some sort of slur or bad word even if the word isn't use in context as a slur/bad thing. I've never been on a site that had to walk on so many eggshells before.

I've also heard of a porta-potty being called a growler because, well, you know.
Gas. And stuff.

Sometimes simultaneously.

But that's just gross not offensive. I don't know, I agree about the usernames, I've seen some really horrible ones, but yeah, reporting them does bupkis. I've reported all kinds of things and seen bupkis happen. I don't even think they read the mail in that inbox.

someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket
