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, can anyone please explain?

  • @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?

    @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. 

  • Bro, i want to name my "Club" GinyuForce and use "GYNU" or "GINU" and they say its offensive... i cant even Fathom this censorshop. Every game i have this Clan/Club name, but Apex. Me and my friends refuse to create one because of this.

    @DarthValtrex Klan with a K is the hate group. Clan with a C is a tribe or band or faction.

    @Da-Big-Mel0n if this is people reporting you, they are not very well educated. If it is software, then they need to fix it. I once got told "80K" is an offensive emoji in China. I don't know what it means, but I texted a contract to a company in China stated the cost would be 80K and they had a fit for the wrong reason.
