it sounds way to close to the "N" word...

Specially with all the ESL people out there....

Imagine hearing on ts2 ok i just got ganked by 3 naga's.... or omg 50 naga's just undocked...

I know the mythos behind the name is cool and all but i am afraid most people will get the naga mixed up with this

By creating this thread and linking 50 cent, you are now seen as a racist piece of **** in the eyes of my people. Please DIAF.

Naga used to be a widely used word in Eve when Naga corp had a monopoly on many popular T2 ships (3 month wait for a Vagabond from Naga back in the day), and I don't think I've ever heard this complaint.

I think you're overreacting.

Naga sounds too much like the 'N' word? Nagasaki?

I was more concerned that they stole the name of a ****** Battlemech, but your point is good.

Because people are so stupid that they cannot hear or understand the difference so just to be safe all words that sound, look, feel and could potentially be construed as should be removed ..

That Naga stole my bike.

Also the more you play the race card and say something is racist, the more racist it will become. Strange how that works out.

I'm offended by your use of the word 'potentially'. Are you saying I'm impotent?

Oh look, he has a single webbing drone out. Big smile

MeBiatch, contrary to what you may believe, most people have a general idea of what a Naga is.

A few thousand years of mythology wins over a few decades of mispronounced racist slang. Fortunately, anyone using the word in the way you suggest instantly puts the "I'm an uneducated idiot" stamp firmly on their forehead.

Of course, so does throwing the term Jew around as many do in game to indicate a person overtly focused on only making money, but one thing at a time.
