EPTIf I have the last name Smith, and somehow incorporate that into my username, and I am called "The Smith" would you make a thread about it?

But, this is an international forum so we shouldn't have conform to your definitions of what the world should be like, much as you wish that were the case. ... Ridiculous statement right? Right. There's so much wrong with it, but it echoes your sentiments. Your post there is slightly ethnocentric even though it strives not to be. The difference between "The Dong" and the case you cited with "The Great Ding Dong" is that this just happens to be short form for the guy's name, there's no translation mistake or simplification of one's language. Anyways, to answer your question, while the community started it I believe Apollo was the first mainstream English caster to use it. To my first point though, don't act like yours is the only valid opinion on this. I get what you're getting at, you're entitled to your opinion and we are to ours. Now, if JAEDONG himself was offended by the nickname, that'd be a COMPLETELY different story. That's not the case though, because if it were people wouldn't call him that. | ||

His name is not Lee Jaedong. His name is Lee Jae Dong Lee Jae Dong 이 제 동 李 帝 東 Korean and Chinese given name are two completely separated characters. The two characters are not connected in any way. Only in latinization, Korean and Chinese connect the two characters of their given name together to make it easier to understand for Westerns. But well I guess this is a different topic from what Westerns call him the DONG, which is only a joke to me, chill | ||

What and How, you claim you already know. Who? Most nicknames simply arise from the whispers of fans. Like how memes come to be. | ||

Something tells me this thread is taking a joke well out of proportion. There's well worse things that he could be called than 'The Dong'. Edit - And its his name ffs! | ||
