I couldn’t figure out how to message the mods (or even individual users) on my app. A space to discuss the survey and your post would be nice.


Edit: Got mod approval to keep this up

    It isn’t about being offended. The change hurts no one. The name has a stupid history. It doesn’t matter to me. I don’t know why people are so attached to this name. The stubborn stupidity about keeping it when it affects no one, proves that it should change. I haven’t seen a single substantive reason for keeping a name with a Nazi origin. The vast majority of people do not know or care about an article from 2013. I have not read the article, or played the game. It was 10 years ago. There is no broad consciousness of this origin when a random person encounters the name of this community. Most people associate this name with Nazism and try to give the benefit of the doubt about it being satire. Non native English speakers are far less likely to understand the satire. People showing attachment to this name is a primary reason it should change.
