I dont understand why anyone would find it offensive to begin with.

My favorite is Rattata changing his nick to Wayne. It makes it sound like "Your Rattata is evolving! ... your Rattata has evolved into WAYNE"
very illegal and very uncool

On a related tangent, I always thought Rogue's former ID CliMax was okay. Maybe it is because English is not my native language and the primary meaning I associate with the word from my knowledge of Latin is "the moment of highest tension", like in "the climax of a theatre play" or "the climax of an esports match".
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Offensive is maybe too strong a word, but there's definitly a few reason why someone who isn't muslim would chose that nickname and a couple of them are rather bad.

Let's just say if I meet someone with that ID on the ladder, I'm gonna mute them asap.

Well if you meet them on ladder you don't know if they're actually Muslim.

I, too, have always thought it's a weird nickname though.

I'm a bit surprised. The guy used to talk about players raping each other all time when casting. I always thought of him as purposely immature and thought the offensiveness was part of his schtick.

What is the reason behind the name in the first place? I understand he must have been young when he made the ID but I can't imagine naming myself demuslim. It's just strange, and could come off as slightly racist?

Regardless, as angry as it makes me that he might be changing his ID for the sake of some people with money who are probably pieces of shit themselves, I get why he would do it from a business standpoint. The man makes money from games and gaming, if all you have to do is change your ID to continue living off what you love and what you're good at it's an easy choice.

Long Live DeMusliM

Apparently it is a tribute to Muhammad Ali, that great Muslim warrior. I find that pretty cool to be honest.

uhhhhh... maybe its because he represents muslims with his name but doesn't live islamic values?

(yes i know it was a muhammad ali still doesnt change the face he calls himself the muslim. at that point just name yourself Ali or something and I guarantee the saudis wouldnt ask him to change.)
Remember that we all come from a place of passion!!

I still don't get it. I wouldn't be triggered by an atheist calling himself "The Christian" or an Italian calling himself "The Swede". Obviously that wouldn't make them a Christian or a Swede, so the names would be nonsensical, but so what?

I have known about him for years, ever since he broke through. And I have never even thought about his name having anything to do with muslims. So strange... its like one of those 'once you see it' pictures.

I mean, who cares? Why would the Saudis care about this?
