Can someone help me out here? Is this actually offensive?
So I created a new club, and I had a groundbreaking (not really) idea for a club tag: GAIA. As far as I knew, this meant “Earth.” I submit and I get a pop up that says that the club name or tag is offensive or inappropriate. So I change the club name from “Apex Sucks” to “CasensHyper” (you know how Respawn is). But still I got the pop up that my club name or tag is offensive or appropriate. Which means that by process of elimination, the name “Gaia” is offensive or inappropriate? I’m not an expert on slurs or anything, but I’ve never heard of someone being offended by that word. So I Google “Is Gaia offensive?” The top results are about gaming products and a movie by the name of Gaia. I don’t know about you, but if I was a company, I wouldn’t name by product something that’s offensive. So I Google if it’s inappropriate. The results are mostly about the movie aforementioned. So I Google what it actually means. And I was right, it means Earth or a Greek goddess that personifies the earth. Can someone inform me if this is offensive, and to what group? I kinda hate the idea that RESPAWN decides what’s offensive, not the general population. Links to the pop up Apex gave me and the definition below.
