Perhaps, but the wording on the screenshot says “Gorilla” will be renamed. And that was the story OP posted. That said, this is the internet…
Yep. It’s a classic.
And ironically always the name of some ankle biter we find at a residence. I’m like, “cute dog” and “what’s his name?” Cujo.
My dad named his Clifford. He’s neither reddish nor big, but some Maltese breed.

In that case name the pet “Who”.
Someone: “WHO PULLED THAT?!?!?!”
You: “Exactly!”

I would post it here (I no have permission), but look up the WoW Machinima “Who’s The Tank”. I think ya might get a kick out of it if ya have never seen it.

That guy caught a ban for naming his gorilla something racist twice. It was forcibly named TO “Gorilla” and he changed it back to what it was, triggering a suspension.
You can see right in the picture you posted that it says that the pet was already renamed. TO “Gorilla”, the default pet name for a gorilla-type pet.
It annoys me so much that the story keeps getting passed around that he was actioned for the default name, he wasn’t.

Yeah, it is easy to be duped on the 'net. The original youtube video has where he makes the claim it was the default name when he got in trouble has gone private.
Do you have a source for this counter-story?
My big pet bird name is Pássaroazul
Oh. I didn’t realize.
My source is your screenshot. It says the pet was already renamed.
At one point the guy’s comments also admitted that Gorilla was what it was renamed to from something else, but his comments have since been deleted. People didn’t let that get in the way of a good outrage story, though.
I got that part, obviously (and to be fair, that part is ambiguous. It says “Gorilla was permanently renamed, OR IS GOING TO BE RENAMED”). I meant the part about how he had named it something racist twice. None of that is in the image I posted. I am curious about this story now.
Even without the extra context, it’s pretty easy to see that there was more to the story than the person in question claimed.

And then the next sentence under the picture is, “Due to these player reports, we have renamed your World of Warcraft pet.”
