Why do people name their characters after the corona virus?

I have a two named after foods. Berries and Melon are mine.

You guys we need to stop Call of Duty because guns kill people irl.

Wow, I’m astonished by these responses.

I am not, WoW’s community is full of shut-ins that were miserable loooong before any of this and mask it with the “Its just a prank bro XD”

@Gantrithor-myzrael

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

Apparently you didn’t get the memo: WoW is a social game, you’re playing with other people that may or may not have gone through covid deaths. Is it that hard to shut your mouth?

@Gantrithor-myzrael

Ditto. But I won’t resort to insults.

Oh so now you care about insults. They’re fine as long as they’re aimed at you huh? Hypocrite.

A long time ago, my son was seeing a child counselor for some behavior issues. I remember asking the boy over and over “WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?”

The counselor said that I shouldn’t ask why; I’m never going to get a satisfactory answer, and most of time, the boy wouldn’t even know why he did some of the things he did.

So… why are people naming their characters like that? Best not to ask, lad.

I suppose making fun of segregation or the holocaust also falls into some reason for you

Goes from virus to segregation and Holocaust…

[Whiting-stormrage]

if this is even on your radar of things that offend you, i would hate to see how you even get by on any normal day

If you don’t understand the correlation you should try some history books.

@Sloppynacho-thrall

To be fair, they did not start it

@Rälph-barthilas-900128

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

Maybe look what people are responding to.

[Sloppynacho-thrall]

Oh F’in please there is no correlation what so freaking ever…

IRONY.

Your argument is no different then those who say the Washington Redskins should change their name because someone might be offended.

Is it that hard to realize that they are obviously jokes? If you don’t like find it funny, it’s it so hard to just move on? Or is a thread like this necessary to grand stand some firm of self-righteous attitude?

[Nemsy-azgalor]

This is true because the Redskins are a joke of a team.

+1

[Anansi-quelthalas]

Your post is assuming I don’t care about those. And maybe I don’t but it wouldn’t matter, they’re taboo subjects for a reason and not talking about them isn’t hard for me.

[Jovar-hydraxis]

Because people are terrible.

[Gantrithor-myzrael]

@Nemsy-azgalor

Very true, lol.

Not THIS is actually trolling

…right?

[Gantrithor-myzrael]

@Lahilahii-wyrmrest-accord

Not THIS is actually trolling…right

“They disagree with me, therfore trolling”

No, dude. Some absurd claims have been made but that isn’t one of them.

[Nemsy-azgalor]

Jokes about death and things dying are actually quite appropriate and healthy. Getting offended because of mention of death is unhealthy.
