I'd be happy if Bioware took this kind of nonsense seriously for once so we can have a mature environment rather than a junior high cafeteria, it would be a nice change of pace.
Being an adult means having no sense of humor? "Mature" means that you can't be amused by anything remotely silly or random?

If it makes me smile to have a character named BionicLobster, if it adds to my fun and I'm not offending anyone, there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to.

I understand they don't like it on roleplay servers, because of atmosphere or whatever, blah blah, but for those of us who don't take our FUN time in a GAME too seriously, it should be allowed. And those people who insist on having overly serious uptight names can play on RP servers. That's one good thing about having different server environments for different types of players.

Hey Bioware, can we have a "sense of humor" server for those of us who like to laugh and have fun with life? lol

The name Anemia is offensive? On what planet? That's absurd. Hope you can actually talk to someone and get it fixed. Violation of TOS, ridiculous.

Anemia is a struggle for many. It can be offensive since it is a condition people who who would rather not have it. Calling yourself Anemia is making light of the condition and should not be tolerated if someone finds offense to it.

Carefully checking every word one says or types is a struggle for many. It can be offensive since some people believe they should be free to speak their minds. Calling yourself Censor is making light of their feelings and should not be tolerated if someone finds offense to it.

See what I did there?

Well, because we are using the medium of text and text loses lots of communicative intent, I should probably state my point clearly.

The statement you made is practically a fill in the blanks form letter that can be used as an excuse to find offense about anyone or anything, and punish anyone for doing or saying anything. I will not grant you the intellectual legitimacy of using that argument unless you will seriously respect that I in turn am very justified in taking offense at any and all statements that support censoring people for offensiveness about anything and everything.
Unless you grant that your fill in the blanks offensiveness statement is equally valid and actionable when I turn it against you, you are being intellectually dishonest.
fidelity to reality is intrinsic to the highest of self-respect

I had a character in WoW named Annarexia.

Never offended anyone, to my knowledge, and I'd say that anorexia is a lot more offensive then anemia.

I wonder if you named a character Anthrax if they would rename you and also report you to the internet FBI as a terrorist lol. Or maybe it would be a double censor, since it's the name of a bioweapon disease/toxin and also the copyrighted name of a heavy metal band from the 80's. Well thankfully Bush isn't in office anymore lol
