I would like to suggest that the ISIS is renamed to something else.

Simply to remove a term today used as a synonym for pillaging, **** and murder by ISIS/IS in the middle east.

I have however no suitable name to replace it.

But I like having a feature named after a terrorist cell in EVE...

You do know that Isis is the Egyptian goddess of nature and magic and was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife, right? Those attributes have nothing bad connected to them and at least the "ideal mother" part suits the ISIS system in EVE very well as it takes care of newbies in a very comprehensive way and teaches them about ships.

-1 to senseless renaming of features just because someone missuses and abuses a name.

I would like the majority of amarrian ships renamed as they have a strong religious overtone and religion is widely used by extremists to commit acts of terror murder and genocide.

*goes unreasonable*

I would like to see Suicide Ganking removed from the game as it bears strong resemblance to suicide bomber attacks on innocent civilians, causing unbearable suffering and countless deaths.

I find it more disturbing that when faced with terrorism the OPs first reaction is to fold and give ground, letting them decide even the words we can now use, instead of standing firm against them.

This reminds me of Django Project's decision to use "Leader/Follower" instead of "Master/Slave" (https://github.com/django/django/pull/2692).

Although I do agree that we should avoid as much as possible to use "bad legacy" words I also understand that lexicology is all about context and heritage. The same word may be used for a plethora of situations because its meaning may have changed over time due a number of factors.

IMHO, as long as you don't use words in the same context, it's ok.

also Isis isn't really called Isis as there name is/was Islamic State of Iraq and Syria which is a bit of a mouthfull to say on the news and since the primary language they use isn't even english to start with i highly doubt they refear to themselves as isis which is an invention of thet western media and the love of acronyms and since they became news they stopped being called "I.S.I.S." <--- that's an acronym and changed to "I.S." anyone who follows the news knows all of this but people are lazy and forget things and this post has gone on long enough but i'm sure this thread must breach some rule of some kind so i'm just going to report it and get it locked
