HelpAdmins should probably delete this thread
*******
I'm not going on an angry rant, I promise. I'd just like to admit to my hypocrisy.
I was trying to defend people from the comment section, but as many users have told me, this is not the proper place to report complaints. There is actually no proper place. The Admins cannot answer all of their emails. There are probably more important complaints for them to hear, anyway.
However, because one is unable to delete their own message posts, the posts may as well stay in their original texts, so the Admins will know what type of people they're dealing with.
One of the rules for starting threads is to not discuss inflammatory topics. It doesn't matter that I had the right intentions. I should've reread the rules.
When I originally posted it, I was actually in a good mood. It wasn't supposed to sound angry. That's why I listed those funny names. I even reread the message, multiple times, to ensure that it wouldn't be offensive.
But it took people's comments in order for me to see it as "infantile", everyone's favorite word in the comment sections.
I want this to serve as trial and error for the newcomers here, who also want to start important discussions. You can do it on a personal blog, or even publish it in a newspaper.
Just not here.
Here's the original post. If I deleted all of the text, Admins wouldn't see what the problem was.:

" People can be very rude. Stating your opinion is fine, but sometimes it goes too far, like with "trailer park trash", "ghetto", or "stripper-like". The former is just racist and the latter.. unless someone's name sounds like a sexual phrase, I think the whole "stripper" thing is completely disgusting and callous. I will not be posting
the incredibly suggestive names for obvious reasons.
But there are people out there who possess names that are ACTUALLY terrible, such as:
Dr. Whet Faartz
Beautiful Existence
Facebook
Like
Corona and Covid, twins
Sanitizer (!)
Google
Ben Dover
HITLER MUSSOLINI (Hitler is still legally used in certain countries that are not well-educated about the Holocaust, or connected to the Holocaust.)
Stalin
Kingmessiah (It was made illegal)
Shaunda Lear (chandelier)
Jealous Harvey
Window Coverings
Etc.
Some of those names are actually derived from other languages. It is not their fault that their names sound horrible in English. Sometimes, it is the fault of the parents. They give their children first names that sound peculiar or even sexual next to their last names. And they are English speakers themselves.
Otherwise, people should not be so hard on the parents, and should exclude the children from ridicule. Don't say they're destined for failure because of their names. Consider that you are apart of the reason that they may struggle in life. Some names are just dumb, others could use a bit more understanding and acceptance of other cultures.
If you don't care to understand, keep your racist and sexist opinions off of this child-appropriate site.
Thank you."
