So,I named my sim Valentina Vamp and for some reason I can't have her in the gallery because of her name.I am assuming it is "Vamp" that is the reason for it not being allowed but I don't get why.She's a vampire so I named her and her parent with Vamp as their surname.Hopefully the name will show up on here and someone will have an answer to this question though I'm not expecting a clear answer as to why it is banned.Also,I wasn't sure which category on the forums to put this in and that is why it's in the general discussion section.

I honestly think it was very innocent I had to actually look it up to understand

Vamp is by no means a 'new' term. Been around for decades, at least. It's not used so much anymore, as there's a new term: hoe (notice the misspelling to get passed the banning bunny.) Although, as others have stated a vamp is not just a loose woman, but uses her feminine wiles for ill use against men.

It's an old term. I have heard it in black and white movies. Lol.

I get that it has a bad meaning but seriously it's a stretch especially when you have vampires in the game who can literally charm anyone into doing anything they want.If that is not the definition of the word Vamp I don't know what is.

Oooh ok i looked it up. Vamp apparently means something similar to femme fatale. How can I say this in a way I won't get in trouble... let's say she uses wohoo as a weapon to get men

It's very annoying though. Once I made Muffi from harvest moon and it wouldn't let me upload her either

Yeah, I mean when I read this thread I was like... vamp seems right for a vampire.

I'm sorry you had issues OP

I know it is lol. But I think in this case it works. I wasn't trying to be offensive. I just thought "Well,She's a vampire.Why not call her Vamp?" lol. I actually thought it sounded cute. I guess I shouldn't care so much that I can't have her in the gallery but it's not like I gave her some disgusting sounding name.At least in my opinion. I think the name is just fitting for a vampire.
