Suspended 24 hours for highly inappropriate name "Pedobeard"

[rayvio]

you got off lightly. some things shouldn't be joked about

[Steampunk]

Oh well I guess this is clearly offensive.

Didn't realize people were still so narrow minded, nevermind.

Yes, we're narrow-minded about someone naming themselves after a tasteless joke about pedophilia. I have a growing suspicion that your attitude was part of your ban. Perhaps you got off too easy?

I do not promote pedophilia, however I find the Pedobear character to be amusing and funny.

If I wasn't in love with my current forum signature, this would be my new one!

You though you could talk to a GM with a inappropriate name and not get it changed? Really???? How dense do you need to be to think that it would be ok???

This is what I meant. Like, seriously...that's incredibly cheeky.

> Puts 'pedo' in his character name.
> Calls other people narrow minded.

You're on a roll today.

Anyways as you can see, literally everyone disagrees with you.

Let it sink in for a minute.

you don't quote like that around here.

tbh im pritty sure somthings missing from the op..as im confident that the 1st offence wouldnt warrant a 4 hour ban no matter how innaproprate the name is, 1st step is normaly a name change

[Anzen]

Uhm. Pedo doesn't mean pedophilia. Pedobeard kinda means child beard.

I don't think that's an excuse that'll cover it though, since it's obviously refering to pedobear.

The OP admitted his name was a play on the meme Pedobear, which for reference:

Pedobear is an internet meme that became popular through the imageboard 4chan.[1] As the name suggests ("pedo" being short for "pedophile"), it is portrayed as a pedophilic bear.[2] The bear image has been likened to bait used to lure children or as a mascot for pedophiles.[3][5]

You did name your character after a cartoon pedophile...

It's the same if I named my character Hitler
"oh no, it's my friends last name"

[ACES]

Why in the world would you name yourself that? You were just asking for trouble.

[Pennoyer]

TIL child rape is funny.

Attitude? That was literally our entire conversation, I just asked if I could turn in some dailies before logging off and that was it.

I guess we just see things diffrently, most of you see the "Pedobeard" name and think that I support or find pedophilia funny in some way, while I just enjoy the fictional character Pedobeard and some of the funny comics / content that was created around it.

Is this supposed to be a spoof thread based off that other thread going? Either way if true, you can't be suprised you got banned.

[Sqeen]

how would you react to such a topic if you would have been raped while being a child or one of your children would get? seriously grow up and stop joking about the very bottom of humanity

Pedobear - a Pedophilic cartoon bear
Pedobeard - beard which pedophiles often have.

Know the difference, could save your life.

Dude... You're referencing pedophilia... What the fuck did you expect?!

[Kelimbror]

Thoughts?

You deserve it. Job well done GM.

[Dispraise]

I know what you mean. My character "Daterapeisbestrape" got reported just last week.

It was a play on the fact that my character was a dwarf with a big beard. I really didn't think people would find it that offensive, but apparently you do.

It's not even about it being offensive. It's about you being an idiot for using that name. I certainly don't find it offensive but I'd report it anyway just so you'd have to change it.

Oh I don't I just find it hilarious someone didn't see that coming.

Also, I hope this taught you how pedophilia isn't funny according to most of the people.
