Account using the name of a german dictator

Hello.

Is it normal for me to battle an account literally named "hitler" ?
What will you do ?

    Yes. When you murder millions of people, then the folks who are still alive tend not to like you anymore, and we tend to be very suspicious of the people who love a mass murderer. EA is not the first to have a content moderation policy in their games and forums and won't be the last. 

    This is what the world has come to now. And I'm fine with throwing side-eyes at people who glorify actual killers. What's really weird is how people who want the free speech to praise the leader of WW2 Germany think the world is ending when other people use our free speech to say that's not a good look, dude. 

    As for EA, they're a corporation in a capitalist system. If they make more money than they lose by having a content moderation policy, then they'll moderate content. Don't like it? Well, you could always stop participating in capitalism. I'm sure that will work out well for you. 

    In the meantime, once again, this is in fact what the world has come to: murderers get bad reputations and capitalists want your money more than they want free speech absolutism. I don't understand why either of those things would be surprising.
