The un-official Find the nicknames that offend you thread.

We certainly don't need to wait for a nickname to spawn randomly to get offended by one. This will just fill the forum with needless individual threads. So I thought I'd help everyone out and just give you the list of nicknames so you can easily choose the ones that offend you personally. So here you go guys, surely some of you can find ways to be offended by many of these, Alcoholic? Mentally challenged? Animal rights? Racist? Sexual innuendo? Gun control advocate? And many,many more.There is an offensive nickname for everyone! You just need to figure out how to apply the nickname to the proper category, use your imagination, it's easy if you try, so without further ado here are all the nicknames!

Obviously "Cracker" and "Wasp" are offensive. Also, "Mastodon" is sure to get PETA's attention.

I find all of them terribly offensive! All nicknames must be removed from the game at once!

Just kidding.

FWIW, "Zombie" would be an awesome nickname for a player from Haiti.

Grand Wizard is a pretty strange nickname to put in the nicknames file, considering there aren't actually any former baseball players I can find who went by it. Like, KKK connotations aside, it's just a legitimately odd nickname.

Sorry this accomplishes nothing. Just because one does not get offended great, my hats off to you but dine belittle those who do get offended. Everyone's Conscience is different and should not be beaten down but respected. That's what's wrong in the world. If people are a little more sensitive to something and we are not rather than respect them and by kind to just let them be we attack or put them down. Just let it go and let them be. On the other hand one is more easily offended by something we don't need to make a campaign about you. If we personally don't like something we have the ability to erase it. There have to a piece peaceable way to handle these issues. Not to out everything that offends us out there and make an issue of it everytime and those that are not offended as easy not to belittle those that are

Nothing offends me, nor should it anyone else...if you really don't like it...edit it. Let's stop playing the dumb PC game and move on with greater issues.

The greatest player I ever had in OOTP was named Julio "Crime Spree" Ruiz. I hope the game never gets so PC that they remove that nickname!

This is where you are wrong, This thread may not accomplish much (I personally thought it was pretty darn funny), but the one thing it does is make 100% clear exactly what nicknames are in the game right now. And it's all about choice, in the English language there are many words with more than one definition, when you have the option of choosing a personally non-offensive definition or one that offends you for the same word or phrase and you choose the latter, you won't get a lot of sympathy for your cause from most people. That line of thinking is by definition Narrow Minded, I'll admit that maybe my means wasn't the best but in the end, it accomplishes the goal, the nicknames are out there for all to see. Of course we also have the option of not only editing individual nicknames, but turning them off completely.

Remember, just because you can get offended by something doesn't mean you have to, but when all else fails, in the USA the First Amendment guarantee's you have the Right to be offended.

Have a great day all

No bro you're wrong. Grow up and drop this. I'm not offended by any of the nicknames personally but this thread was made specifically to belittle those who do get offended. Just because you have to "right "to say whatever you want doesn't mean that you should. In this thread should be close because simply it was made simply to make fun of others

This was not in response to a deluge of fanciful and ridiculous threads. There were two threads launched in the last day about offensive nicknames which should be removed-- one with strong ties to the KKK, and one which is a racial epithet for a black man.

Depending on the colour of your skin, your experience with racism may vary. The descendants of a lynching victim or those who are still subject to racial violence likely don't feel as flippant as you do towards the 'Grand Wizard' nickname or the sort of racial epithet that they hear too often.

Removing two racially charged nicknames from a list of 1163-- yes, I counted-- is the textbook definition of "reasonable accommodation." These are your fellow citizens. These are your people-- they deserve to be treated with respect for their fundamental human dignity, rather than be dismissed with contempt as 'overly sensitive' and not worth having their position considered with any sort of concern or serious consideration.
