Why do people name their characters after the corona virus?

Likely story

Well thank you for your understanding. I really appreciate it.

Lahilahii-wyrmrest-accord · May 3, 2020, 4:54pm

I am very understanding of people who use ‘lulz’ unironically unfortunately.

Stabmcstabby-aegwynn · May 3, 2020, 4:55pm

Irony can sometimes be very funny.

Anansi-quelthalas · May 3, 2020, 4:55pm

Some reason? Hundreds of thousands of deaths is some reason?
I suppose making fun of segregation or the holocaust also falls into some reason for you.

Look at these two snowflakes bickering back and forth.

Gantrithor-myzrael · May 3, 2020, 4:56pm

The character in the video game didn’t cause those deaths.

Stabmcstabby-aegwynn · May 3, 2020, 4:57pm

Careful now Gantrithor, wow is not a video game for some, it’s a life.

Dreta-stormrage · May 3, 2020, 4:58pm

It’s funny.

Rosenylund-herod · May 3, 2020, 4:59pm

Trying to be quirky and edgy i assume

Anansi-quelthalas · May 3, 2020, 4:59pm

Neither did I, yet I show respect for those that have gone through it.
Maybe you’ll learn it once you reach adulthood.

People who are offended are just looking for something to be offended by.

Gantrithor-myzrael · May 3, 2020, 5:03pm

Classy and mature. Ironic.

This is seriously no different then when Alliance got all uppity about Horde players during the War of Thorns. Equating what was done in a video game to real life. As if people who played Horde were ok with genocide.

It’s sad actually. Levity in these times doesn’t make someone a bad person. Now, if someone went to a victim of Corona (or their loved ones) and actively antagonized them I could see the outrage.

But naming a character in a video game? Hardly something to get bent out of shape about. IMO.

Anansi-quelthalas · May 3, 2020, 5:04pm

Wow, I’m astonished by these responses.
This isn’t some tumblerina complaining about a fictional character not being inclusive in a movie or game.
These are real people that have lost family and friends.

Gantrithor-myzrael · May 3, 2020, 5:05pm

And how much do you think those people care about how someone named their character in World of Warcraft?

Anansi-quelthalas · May 3, 2020, 5:05pm

Sorry pal but your opinion means very little to me. Keep excusing yourself.

Sloppynacho-thrall · May 3, 2020, 5:06pm

Why do people name their toons after food?

Gantrithor-myzrael · May 3, 2020, 5:06pm

Ditto. But I won’t resort to insults.

Nemsy-azgalor · May 3, 2020, 5:07pm

So? It’s a game based on WAR in which (spoiler alert) millions of people throughout history have died in. You have no qualms with that, you hypocrite.

Rälph-barthilas-900128 · May 3, 2020, 5:07pm

Hundreds of thousands die from poverty, corporate greed, broken status quo and pointless wars and even more suffer.

Sorry I dont take hypocricy well, you either care about all or none, and considering how quiet everyone is about the above I am more than happy if they get upset because someone used a covid 19 name.
