Does anyone know why my club name is offensive or inappropriate?

I am confused about why Apex doesn't allow this name and/or tag for my club. Every other game I've made a club in or used a tag, I've used this name and/or tag. I don't get why it doesn't allow me, c...

@Da-Big-Mel0n My best guess is that it boils down to the club tag. I'm not 100% certain but just making guesses. The tag resembles "clan" which could be viewed as offensive since it can reference a hate group.

Have you tried changing the tag?

"Oh EA... ", Censoring the English language IT'S an acronym for the CLUB.... a "CLAN TAG" is the same thing as a "CLUB TAG"

EA is just catering to the so-called "WOKE" /PC police. If 1 person is offended by a word they CANCEL it. If this "cancel culture" keeps going we will have ZERO words left to use. Everyone is Offended by something.

the definition of the word clan

- a group of people, as a clique, set, society, or party, especially as united by some common trait, characteristic, or interest.

definition of the word club

- a meeting or assembly for social discourse; an association of persons of like sympathies usually interested in the promotion of some object, sport, etc.; a combination; a clique

Well this might be one of the dumbest bits of censorship I've seen in a while. XD

  @MandatoryIDtag in the other post I complained about my username.
  I wanted "Fukurou" which means owl in Japanese but the censorship spotted my mischief. If you put letters F U K next to each other then your ID contains forbidden word 🤦‍♂️
  
  As you see I had to go with "Hukurou" cause apparently putting H U K together is acceptable 🤦‍♂️
  @SILVERisSORRY exactly. To me CLAN sounds like a gaming club basically or a big Scottish family. The hate group would come to mind last. Actually what they do with this PZ woke movement and censorship is that they actually make me see this stuff and they increase racist and vulgar mindset of people instead of fighting it.
