As per the attached image, you can find names so obviously disgusting and racist it affects gameplay. Presumably this is against the TOS, yet most games I’ve played wouldn’t allow the creation of such statements in the first place.

Of all the possible arguments…
Run, he has the racist damage buff.
I get this that those names are more or less evil and disappointing to see, but the sadly, there’s not much we can do.
Chinese names trigger me, because i don’t know what they mean. They can be super nice or super racist. So I’m triggered by that.
How?
I want you to explain to me how it effects gameplay at all.
y-you don’t u-underst-and, s-seeing mean w-words makes me p-play po-poorly
Nah, you are just oversensitive jerk who is propagating censorship because he can stand few letters.
I will never respect such attitude and behavior. That’s exactly why we can’t have historical symbols like swastikas etc.
Grow up, be a man!
The forum is on fire due to the merge and horrible progression tree and yet your biggest problem is a random guy naming himself with a stupid/ironic or whatever name?
you are a very happy man.
now now
if i was to change my nick, to let say, hypothetically
Gaijin Devs suck doggy balls, you would all be up in arms
Was a example for the record lol
Any name that promotes ill feelings of hate etc, should be a no no
will also add that this may have nothing to do with 80 yo, history, but more due to recent current events.
Imagine being triggered because of aome completely irrelevant trolls named themselves in game.
I guess freedom is overrated. Some sensitive individuals just weren’t born for it. Censorship is way to go for them.
Nicknames in game means literally nothing. It doesn’t have any value.
If you offended by such irrelevant nonsense, I feel sorry for you.
That’s exactly why modern society is too spoiled/sensitive for dislike button/reaction.
Negative reaction will be illegal in few years, I bet. Censorship over everything!
Btw. It’s not like game already has solution for this. OP could just turn on harmonization mode.
But solution isn’t really what he wants. He just want to restrict other people.
Totally agree about the majority of what you say.
me i have no care what you call urself, seen way funnier/worse than OP, mentioned one 
guess i was trying to be diplomatic, see both sides of the fence. 
but i am still sure, if i made my nick as i suggested hypothetically 
it would be nuked, quite surprised that comment/post has not been nuked already. hehe
In regards to the opposing views - If you guys are of the opinion that you should be free to spout hate-filled comments or game names, well I do support that position if ‘freedom’ is your internal compass and not ‘hate’ or some phobia or something. Please do consider which of these apply to you based on what you wrote. If you are just hateful for the sake of it, then I no longer have tolerance for you or your position.
Some of you say, ‘imagine you are triggered by [central concerns of mine minimized by political-sounding talking points’]; indeed, it did impact my gameplay from its norm. Maybe ‘irl’ I’d be the first to die in battle, eh. That said, I do feel (despite being a wargame - I acknowledge the irony) that I am being more socially empathetic than is reflected in many replies here. I matters not to me your opinion if you feel machismo is king and empathy is weak - it has no value anywhere.
As an aside, I do appreciate that ‘skill issue’ hasn’t been slammed down on the table though! It really is the basest of responses in many situations. Thank you for at least showing minimal respect to the post. Happy gaming.
Good question. When reading that it eats into my brain and I’m unfocused. I realize this may not affect many people here.
Well at least you have a reasonable explanation.
I saw bird get stuck and there was nothing I could do, and it bothered me all day.
Perhaps you are enjoying this position by being someone who’s not on the receiving end of this? I acknowledge your point on censorship totalitarianism - which is a position of the far Left.
I guess I will wait to see before complain/panic about the outcome. Indeed the possibility of losing progress bothers me - but I appreciate a game that develops. Of course I don’t want the game to turn into a WoT money-mill, and I am indeed rather happy with the game.
