Uniquevariant is in that picture...

You mean the username?
Well, he wasn't exactly black... more like brown.

Didn't think I would see
Didn't think I would see Uniquevariant outside the forums.
Seems like you could make just about any name and it'll magically get accepted.

Are you saying black people are not allowed to be named Jesus?

lolz
I don't really think the name is that offensive as we shall never know if Jesus was White or Black or even Asian who knows. (we all just assume)
And I've seen Uniquevariant several times and he is my guild :D (i can see him as much as i want in game :P)

So he was born in the Middle East as White?
I've even seen names like Satan-The-Lord... this isn't a big deal.
You can also report me because I'm Hades.

He shouldn't be banned, but just get a warning with a name change.

Wait a second
...what's the problem? I don't see anything particularly wrong here other than incorrect wearing of the wolver/magic robe combo that Father-Frost mentioned/

"incorrect wearing of the wolver/magic robe combo"
I'm currently investing for the 5* items of that "incorrect" set. When I make it to full 5*, i'll think about the fashion aspects of Spiral Knights.

@Blade-Of-Grass
Utility-wise, magic robe/wolver cap is still the incorrect combo. Divine hood gives a fiend bonus whereas divine cloak does not.
If you're not making divine it doesn't really matter, though.

Chaos with vog cap is a nice combination though.

Why would you take offense to
Why would you take offense to that name?
There are no expletives, it is merely a statement.
What's bannable about that? I'm curious. Explain to me your view.

Yes that is what i'm going for

Jesus is a religious figure.
I just posted "it's too funny" because I just can't see how anyone would not get banned (on the spot) for having a name such as that?
I don't know how, but the internet sure knows how to make me laugh!

Well then.......
I've seen him before, and I have to say this:
Is every racist person in a game banned? No.
Is every atheist person in a game banned? No.
Does a game like this have many diverse people who believe in different things? Yes.
Does a game like this have joking people? Yes.
Do I know what I just wrote? No.

@Blade-Of-Grass
Jesus is also a bunch of people in Spain. It's a perfectly common name in a lot of places.

Well you see, I'm racist and that offends me? I'm really not sure why else it would be changed.

As a racist, I'm highly offended by that name.

Be excellent to one another
So in summary, no one has been racist enough to be offended enough to "report" this character? Fehzor basically nailed it. On the other hand it sounds like Blade-Of-Grass's point is that surely someone is racist enough (or fanatical enough) and so what doesn't make sense is the amount of tolerance that exists in the community. I will give you that it was likely an intentionally provocative name, but I'm not surprised to hear that it exists. That's a good thing, imho.
Am I right, Blades-Of-Grass, that "the point" of this thread is that it is surprising to see a name like that get through because of the politically-correct, eggshell-walking companies do? If so, and if you're correct, it's only a matter of time before Jesuswasblack gets ninja'd into Joshwasplaid.

Anyways, Jesus can be many people in Spain, some names translate to Jesus, and/or God,

Meh.The original son of Mary's name was actually Yeshua, or Joshua. if you want to get technical. And yeah, people from the Middle East region aren't exactly white.

Wonder what would happen if there was a nick with muhammad jesting at islam. The people who can't take a joke would come out of the wood work then, eh?

Agree
I also think that it's pretty offensive confusing african black people with middle-east dark skinned people, although probably Jesus was actually pretty black. Anyway, I also think that forum thread spammers should be banned.
Even more: Simba is kind of a religious figure for me, so if I see someone named Lionkingsucks or something like that I'll report him ;)
Praise be to WoodyAllenJesus

@Jesus
As a conservative Christian and a racist, I am extremely uncomfortable with your name.
Wed, 06/19/2013 - 02:36
#38
heck
I was surpried when a friend of mine said "I need help" and someone named "real-jesus-christ" appeared next to him. then we all died.
anyway, I think this discussion should be closed. it's causing a bit of rage.

@Hexzyle
Yes, that is entirely correct. I'm too silly to accept the truth. No way Jesus, an arabic man, was anything but caucasian! And of course the earth is only 6,000 years old despite all the proof that it is several million years old!

hey hexzyle did you hear that loud WOOSH noise just now, you know, like the sound of an airplane flying at low altitude
that was the sound of krakob's joke completely missing your head. and now it's coming back on a collision course with your brain

I think a little tolerance
would go a long way in situations like this. The Community is made up of people with different beliefs and backgrounds, and this frankly seems to be a silly thing to dote on.
He's not being derogatory. He's not being racist or a bigot. Just because it has a hint of religion in it does not mean he deserves to be banned/have his name changed.
Wed, 06/19/2013 - 18:28

Jesuswasblack, whoa who said I have a problem. I just found the name surprising (in a good way). You could relax, i'm not going to report ya!
Wed, 06/19/2013 - 18:42
#46
my 2 cents
@ Jesus I like your name and I know it's meant to be funny and not taken seriously
When I saw your name for the first time I laughed and I thought to myself "wow they really don't censor any names until someone report"
I think the challenge now is to make the most aggressive name that won't be censored.... hmmmm :D
Wed, 06/19/2013 - 20:54

I knew someone named Jesus. He was black. I'm not lying.

My name is not meant to be taken as comedy. I did this name cause it's the truth. Also, I have people calling me racist at least once a day sometimes 5 times, so I'm sure they have reported me before.

@Jesuswasblack
You're trying to rid the typical Jesus being an "overly handsome, white man with brown, well-kept hair and barely any facial hair" stereotype, aren't you?
I find it funny that people are getting offended over that.

Well there it is. All I can say is, let's be judged by our actions and not our names.
Also: Inb4 WWJWBD
Your wearing wolver/magic the wrong way around that is funny, but you should report it you just look silly.
devs plz fix
