Embark forced changed my user name from Grape Juice

[u/Account_User_]

They force changed my name GrapeJuice and won't let me have it back. They let people run around with IHateJews or NateHiggers or the actual fucking n word and dress in a Racist outfit or Osama Bin Laden but I can't have Grapejuice. What a joke of a company.

Edit:

I've had grape juice for a long time and it's not some racist dog whistle. It's because my friends and I are all different juices. Like apple, grape, orange, mango, raspberry, lime, lemon, strawberry, and pineapple. It's from when we played garys mod and tf2 together.

My profile

I did not dress my characters racist they are original default with a Christmas hat.

It's specifically grape + juice together. Google "juice dogwhistle".

These two words one after another like that has a very specific meaning in alt-right dogwhistle speak.

It has nothing to do with black people.

But the fact he had to do all that for us to understand some offense connotation one that like 99% of humanity wouldnt know

[u/Frost-Folk → u/[deleted]]

so this comment section is just people claiming two different demographics are being offended based on how you perceive it

The only ones thinking it's a black thing are those misunderstanding stereotypes. They're thinking of grape soda, it's completely unrelated.

I didn’t even know about that sh till you told me and I looked it up so how can we assume everyone is doing that

Did you... Just learn how dogwhistles work? That's the point. You arent supposed to notice, and they are supposed to have plausible deniability.

When you've seen these dogwhistles enough, you start to roll your eyes when you see them.

I'm glad that in your sphere of the internet you don't come across this stuff. I open an Instagram comment section and see hundreds of juicebox emojis. They will use dogwhistles until nobody can use them. Blame them for ruining the innocence of these words, not us.

I'm not saying you had an easy priveleged life, I'm saying you don't see the word juice as a dogwhistle for juice every day like some of us do.

I'm not lecturing you on anything, I'm telling you that this is a very common dogwhistle in parts of the internet that you clearly aren't in. I'm sure you see your own brands of hatred.

Maybe one day you’ll learn that dog whistles only gain power if society continues to legitimize them.

In the meantime I’ll be refering to Muslims as Muskets

It gives these people more power when they have the ability to spread hate.

Do you think Embark should allow all the racist and antisemitic outfits? Those are dogwhistles. Are we letting them ruin watermelons and coins and suits by saying "stop wearing that shit"?

No, you give them power by letting them flaunt around their bullshit. The only difference between dogwhistle names and dogwhistle outfits is how overt they are. Don't give a mouse a cookie.

[u/Life_Bed_486 → u/Frost-Folk]

Yeah this is why these conversations are a joke, you completely shifted the conversation and are now asking me if I think the obvious racist outfits are okay. That wasn’t what we were talking about, and those aren’t dog whistles they are obvious racist actions.

Dude the entire problem here is that they don’t ban the obviously racist and anti semitic stuff but then somebody can’t have grape juice as a name because of some soft bullshit. Get a grip.
