I can't speak for everyone, but I have actual tangible problems in my life.

If some kid with the name "XxHitler420xX" or whatever, is a serious point of discussion for you, you may need to get a life, because it's clear that you don't exactly have a lot going on.

Yet you have time to be an internet warrior. Maybe you should go and sort out those problems. Bye.

It doesn't upset me at all, its more of disgust that someone would want to name there char with a racist or insulting name, the person who does this is the one who should re-evaluate "that thing you call a life", not the ppl who stand up for what is right or wrong.
If they were to do this in real life not infront of a computer screen they would find out very quickly this is unacceptable.

As u said, True talk !

I know! You get an armada of people with inappropriate names, and when you ask them why they would call themselves that on a microphone, you find a 6 year old panicking for an excuse.

Did I strike a nerve?

I'm on a coffee break right now.Some of those real world problems are car/house payments, unfortunately. Some of us have to work even on superbowl sunday.

This just in: Racism and discrimination in any form aren't big enough problems anymore.

These people are either using such nicknames to get a rise (which they will, and for good reason) or because they legitimately hold such viewpoints. I sympathise with neither and am more than happy to see consequences for both. :)

Being overly-sensitive to obvious trolls is not taking some profound stand in "Right vs wrong"

Unfortunately, modern criteria for what actually constitutes as "Racism" can mean virtually anything these days. It's like the definition of ":|" according to feminists.

It can mean whatever you want it to mean.
