I've read most of the threads and I've seen very little about neo-nazi's. That isn't rational, I agree.

I....don't understand your logic. "If you guys are meaner, we'll not change it just to spite you" is what it sounds like, to be honest. I personally think that if it is this offensive(which is it, i've seen, and i am personally at least slightly offended), wouldn't you rather AVOID all this anger and vileness and just change it so people can stop being offended and yelling at you out of anger about it? If you know your refusal to change the name only brings more hatred and vileness, aren't you then basically self-inflicting this pain by inviting the hatred?

I'm currently working on writing for a living too, but most of the RPing i do is mostly for fun, it does help to flesh out characters and work on their characterization, but for this roleplay in specific, it's not about the roleplaying being fun or not, it's that most people consider roleplay to be a fun, not-so-serious thing. So to have the name of an enormously serious event tacked to something that is fiction, and has parallels, but is not actually about the holocaust, that's what's getting people angry.

I know you guys get it offends people...but i honestly think that if you truly understood how MUCH it offended people, you wouldn't be getting indignant and keeping the name just because people are being rude to you. it doesn't solve anything for either of you, it only makes the problems worse.

well, i honestly hope you do change it because all this legitimate anger could be dispersed and your feelings, if they're hurt, could be mended, with the simple changing of a name, which someone else has even offered to pay for, so you'd be out nothing. I'll help come up with a new name if you choose to change it, something that can show that the HP universe does parallel the events of WW2 without actually bringing real life terminology into a fantasy world.
