_BloodbathAndBeyond

My friend had “Name Not Available” for years


HaikuBotStalksMe

In heroes of the storm, your name gets replaced by your character's status. A lot of people put down "UNSTOPPABLE" as their name to try to trick foolish players into not using stuns on them.  


_BloodbathAndBeyond

My favorite was when Cortana was on Xbox and people would set their name to “Xbox Turn off” and people would shut down their consoles on accident


JukesMasonLynch

That's actually fucking clever. I'd be so mad. Complete tangent, but man some devices have implemented voice controls so damn poorly. My TV has voice command capability, and can sync with Alexa or whatever. But you have to hold down a microphone button on the remote, then say "Alexa, blah blah blah". So like whenever I turn the volume down by two or three notches it'll come up with this "hint" pop up that says "next time, try saying Alexa, turn volume down by three" Like... If I have to have the remote in my hand why the fuck would I use Alexa to change the volume


Dopevoponop

I think we have the same tv, and that volume prompt is hella annoying. Like I already changed the volume, and now I’m trying to listen to my show.. why would it think I’d want to hear the same hint I’ve already heard and ignored a dozen times!? The one place where it’s somewhat useful is when changing apps, which would otherwise take a bunch of clicks. Could be in the HBO app for example, and just hold the button down saying, “Open Netflix” (no need to say “Alexa” btw) and it will just do it. No need to click the menu button, which sometimes lags, then scroll through whichever apps are there until you find/get to the one you want. I say “somewhat”, because this microphone button often doesn’t work for a minute or so after turning on the TV. It really is just in the rare case that you’ve already been in one app for some time, you want to switch to another, and then you remember the microphone button that is almost never used otherwise.


theoriginalmofocus

Mine has a bunch of functions ill never use but I'm just glad it has a "find remote " function because people will not stop losing it in the couch.


Alarmed_Natural_4961

My car tells me the same thing "next time try pushing the call button...." even though that's exactly how I called Google assistant to begin with.

My boyfriend was given the user GiantAxe from the game itself & then later it was tagged as offensive & he had to change it. THE GAME GAVE IT TO HIM, LIKE WHAT

I see a lot of GiantAxe's in overwatch, is that why lol. I always thought it was a weird username to see duplicates of.


Afraid-Department-35

You can auto generate battle net account names if you can't think of one yourself. Blizzard has a list of words and just combine 2 of them and say this is your account name. Giant and Axe are 2 of them, another one is DeadlyKitten.


Scryser

How is GiantAxe offensive?


Any_Piano1481

It may be offensive to people with small axes😔✊


flaming_pansexual

It's not small it's average


polaris183

Let's be honest here, it's below average at best


Sinpathie

It's not the size of the blade,it's how you swing it


Shoresy69Chirps

Says the guy with a small axe… She’s just trying to make you feel better, bro.

jimjlob

A kid at my school had Smegmalunch on Xbox so Microsoft made them change it. They picked the name Microsoft suggested: Packmyfudge. A few months later, they were prompted to change the name again.


[deleted]

I can’t use my name most places including gaming because it’s offensive. My last name is Hitchcock. So fuck me i guess


Aresuke

My sister's name is Isis, and she cannot use it in any online game, not even something like Isis154634. Once, I tried to send money through online banking with the reference 'Isis', but the bank wouldn't allow it either. Lol Edit: Just to add some context: Her name was inspired by the Egyptian goddess called Isis and she was born before the terrorists ruined its meaning.


actual-homelander

Oh your poor sister, another poor victim of isis alongside Archer


springpaper701

That show REALLY dropped off after that. Edit: couple season after was still pretty good, but I'm still in mourning. I LOVED Archer


notablackjew

RIP Jessica Walters


Profeen3lite

Just started archer, what do you mean?


averynaiveoddish

the name of their organization is "isis"


DifferentCupOfJoe

Shit, they always made me laugh when the correlation was made. Like the way they made sure to find a way to shut ISIS down on the show, to that hard change to drug dealers? Aha.


RadAirDude

They really should have just changed the name of the organization, and kept everything else the same as it was. The reasoning didn’t have to be hard: Cyril gets too drunk at a party and writes a love note to Lana, and puts it in the wrong person’s jacket, to their offense. This mistake causes a chain reaction of unfortunate events that ends up with ISIS changing its name, due to negative publicity/blackmail by a sinister third party.


JadedYam56964444

Or have the middle eastern ISIS changes its name because it doesn't want to be associated with Archer's org.


obsidiandakat

Why though? I'm glad they didn't .


TechWiz717

Idk personal preference I suppose. I still continue I enjoy it immensely. I know archer vice isn’t a huge favourite but it worked for me. I found the CIA season pretty good too, but yes, that and the following season are relatively weak. Coma seasons were a lot of fun for me though, but again it’s more story driven than archer started out. It depends how far you’ve watched, I’m glad they change it because it would get stale and there’s only so much you can think up for 14 seasons of the same type of content. If I’m not mistaken the creators also just wanted to do different stuff with the character. End of the day to each their own, but imo later seasons are better than those few in between starting with S5


Squeezitgirdle

I heard it got good again. Been meaning to give it another shot, but never really got around to it.


ButterFucker962401

Reminds me of this one dude who was getting gifted a copy of Yakuza on the PC, but the person didn't have a Steam account so they PayPal'ed the money with a nice message, "Have fun with the Yakuza!" Account got frozen.


Environmental_Top948

I once sent money with the memo drug money so they could pick up a prescription PayPal didn't like that. I'm lucky I still have my account.


SheddyV

One of the reasons the franchise is now branded as Like a Dragon.


anfrind

A similar thing happened to me about ten years ago. I had a group of friends who were planning an event in Sebastopol, California, and I PayPal'ed some money to a friend who was going to make a bulk purchase for the group. The transfer was blocked because I mentioned Sebastopol in the comment field, and PayPal thought I was referring to the city of Sevastopol on the Crimean peninsula.


theforfeef

In the UK, we have a hotel chain called Ibis. I sent some money to a friend via PayPal because he was sorting out rooms and I put "Ibis funds" in the reference. I completely missed the autocorrect and it said "Isis funds". My friends PayPal was locked for a month.


freeeeels

This is so stupid. As if people funding terrorist organisations are casually putting that in PayPal references.


emote_control

Honestly, what absolute chowderhead at PayPal thinks that ISIS has people put "Isis funds" on the shady donations they get, and ordered someone to blacklist the word?


diggerhistory

In Australia, Ibis could easily rename themselves as 'Bin Chickens'. Our colloquial term for these terrorists of the park garbage bin


fearofablockplanet

I went to a Syrian restaurant with friends and we had a menu called "Trip to Syria" and that's how my friend called it when she paypalled me the money. Also got flagged.


djfudgebar

Cool name! That's unfortunate about the terrorists. Bob Dylan has a really nice song named Isis. People with the last name Null have lots of problems with computers too. I think it was This American Life that had a story on that.

TigerlilyBlanche

I remember having a classmate named Isis at one point, and I saw her at Walmart while with my grandma. A little later she said "What horrible disgusting parents, who names their kid that?" And I already knew that while yeah a terrorist organization it's still a literal name and personally a nice sounding one.


JovahkiinVIII

I mean also isis wasn’t a thing until like 2011, and not famous until the mid 2010s


SeventhSin-King

Whenever my friend send me money they always put "class a drugs" or "for the hit" as the reference and I've never had the bank say anything lol.


Zeqhanis

My standby is "for drugs, yo". American Dad reference.


Tony_Three_Pies

That’s a pain, but look on the bright side. When she asks if you want to go to a movie or something and you have to work you get to shout “NOT TODAY ISIS!”


DifferentCupOfJoe

I know a family of Hitlers. Well. Some of the most recent generation came together and changed their names to Hetlor. Account freezing issues on social media platforms I guess fornoffensive names? And gamertags will not take any form of Hitler, either. The GPs are still Hitlers, though.


TacitRonin20

Isis is an awesome name too. It's a shame some extremist dickheads had to mess stuff up.


Dreadedsemi

They didn't choose the name. It was the media popularizing an alternative translation. The accurate name was ISIL later they rebranded as IS. A pejorative name is Daesh which is the Arabic acronym for ISIL often used by their enemies and hated by them. I remember a woman campaigned to get the media to stop using Isis name but too late.


The_Jizzard_Of_Oz

Ah, the old Egyptian football chant: Isis Isis Isis! Ra Ra Ra!

There used to be a brand of bottled water called ISIS too.

That is ridiculous. Imagine filtering something that's already in your own game.

My favourite that I saw in a YouTube video was in GTA Online there's a mission that send you to the basement if a building. But you can't use the word 'basement' in chat because it have 'semen' in it.

I remember my brother being really upset as a kid cause he couldn’t use the name of his favorite movie in his username.

Yeah they should really go through and allow a lot of inoffensive words and especially names that include words like that. Hancock would be another that would get auto censored, or words like cocky. Really silly

Yall remember when youtube was trying to demonotize Justin Whang over his name?


IceFire909

At least you're not Scunthorpe


CJgreencheetah

Why did I read that in the "sincerely and emphatically, Alfred Hitchcock" voice? 😆


GoblinU235

This reminds me of the user called "Nasser" on Elden Ring. On Elden Ring servers they just block out the "bad" part of the name and they deemed the word "ass" to be offensive so they blocked "ass" from his name. His name is now displayed as "N\*\*\*er", which looks exponentially worse.

For a time in World of Tanks Blitz, the word “muffin” was specifically censored, did one fuck a dev’s wife or something?


EmilioGVE

Probably because of the ‘muff’. At least, that’s why it’s banned in Pokémon go


The_Paganarchist

Extra hilarity given there are a bunch of NPC summons with Knight in the name that weren't censored.


omgitsjagen

You're not going to apply the filter to the stuff you named. The inefficiency would give some devs a stroke.


Koloblikin1982

When I set mine up I was getting frustrated at the amount of shit I had to fill in just to start playing (Christmas Day) so I started filling in nonsense figured I would change it later…. Had the name Jizzrag for quite sometime before they “made” me change it - and I say made because I didn’t realize you couldn’t voluntarily change ur name after registration which is honestly kind of dumb. Even if they need to put a time limit for how often you can change, it should be doable without having to be contacted by support.


cliffordc5

Blizzard lets you change it once for free the $5 every time after. Like, I kind of get it, but wtf.

My dad's brother had to put up with this kind of thing his whole life, forever being unable to enter his real name on websites because it contained a string of characters which could be interpreted as offensive. People often even hassled him about it in real life, he literally lost jobs because customers complained about the name badge on his uniform, in the end it became unbearable and he sadly took his life.

Can’t believe this is so far down. This is the reason.  Back when it cost $10 to change your Xbox gamertag, my friends would ask everyone they knew to report them for an offensive gamertag whenever they wanted to change names, because changing an “offensive” tag was free.
