[Opinions] Have we forgotten that it's an opinions board?
I see where you're going with this -- Rox's dislike of cutesy theme names somehow makes her less cultured or worldly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your passive and somewhat condescending approach here can be confusing to us blue collar Americans. Funny, you're doing what you condemned her for. And on the subject of cutesy theme phrase names -- they don't have more or less merit than any other names, and Rox was expressing her dislike, as often happens on an Opinions board. If she disliked Beatrice Stella as a combo, would there be this reaction? Why has this sparked such controversy? She didn't make any comments on the race or socioeconomic status of Ms. Diamond in the first place. She thought the name was tacky, cheesy, lame. Big deal.
