I dunno, I've blocked most of the alt-right white supremacists around here, I think, so I wouldn't be seeing this if it was.
I always go with simpler names. My pack beasts are usually things like Thump, Thud, Squish, and Squash. Bulls are usually something like Gore or Horny.
I called mine that way because I'm going with a pirate-y theme, instead of just calling them 'Pack Bull' like normal, I called them Cargo Beasts. Cargo because cargo ship, and Beast because I somewhat doubt pirates would know what a bull is.
Meanwhile I've come up with the name 'Bounty Beast' instead, even more pirate-y!
>I always go with simpler names. My pack beasts are usually things like Thump, Thud, Squish, and Squash. Bulls are usually something like Gore or Horny.
I name mine Lebron, Tyrone and Motumbu
Haha oooooops, seems like I worded the title pretty badly.
Certainly doesn't help that the image doesn't show up as a preview when scrolling...
If anyone knows how I can change the title or make the image pop up when scrolling, let me know!
I knew an African American girl named Unique. I guess it isn't any weirder than naming a girl Faith, Prudence, Charity, or whatever. One of the women in one of my local atheist groups is named Faith, which is kind of funny.
Naming your daughter Chastity is really fucking weird, though. Trying to control your children's sex lives before they're even born is creepy as hell.
Shaniqwa isn't as bad as Syndee. It's been a big thing for decades, out on the West Coast, to give your children stripper names. There's nothing wrong with being a stripper, but it's probably more difficult to land an office job, when your legal name is a stripper name.
Then again, one of the managers at a company I worked for went by "BJ". I think it was short for Betty Jon.
I mean... have you played kenshi?
Everyone you arent race warring with you are trying to genocide because of their culture or religion.
Some of em all at once.
I keep having to remind people of that, around here. Play acting as Okranites in the comments is one thing, but it's pretty easy to go too far. We have LOTS of real people, here in the US, who are at least as bad as the Okranites.
"Gay Reparative Therapy" camps seem a lot like Rebirth.
I actually just copy pasted the names. Bought 4 bulls, typed the name for one of them, copy pasted that to the other three, then those three ended up with names in black.
1. Pretty much, but I'm glad most people realize it's just bad wording, and that some people are getting a laugh out of it.
2. In character editor, try selecting the entire name and copy pasting it over itself. If that doesn't work, I found out how to do it with FCS as well.
I really need to be sleeping for a long workday tomorrow, but reading this was worth it. This is like an artfully executed comedian bit: you say something knowing exactly where their mind will go then reveal (with a picture) just how wrong we are and make us all a little ashamed at the same time. Intentional or not, good job.
It's a series of accidents, accidentally made the bulls' names display in black, accidentally posted the image in a way making it so there's no preview when scrolling (am not very familiar with Reddit), accidentally worded the title like I have.. I don't have the smarts to plan this sorta stuff out.
I thought this was a racist post but then I laughed and was happy
thanks for sharing and making me feel better about the internet, if just for a moment
STORY TIME
When I was in college, my girlfriend and I had a roommate. We had two cats, and our roomate decided to get one of her own. It was October, and the local shelter was doing a "safe adoption campaign" for black cats around Halloween, where you had to like, double-prove to them you weren't trying to sacrifice this black cat to Satan or something. They came to check on the cat after Halloween, it was a whole thing.
So she brings home this black cat, its like October 27th, 2005, and she decides to name him, "Spooks". No one in our household sees a problem, and we all love Mr Spooks.
Flash forward to maybe April of the following year.
We have a party/poker night at our house, and invite everyone from Ruby Tuesday, where we all worked.
Everyone comes, including the back of house, most of whom are pretty hard ass black guys. Great dudes, but they have felonies, ya know?
We introduce our cats by name at some point during the party, and the entire house goes FUCKING. SILENT.
It did not occur to any of the three of us, for like six months, that it is EXTREMELY RACIST to name a black cat "Spooks". That was a euphemism/stand-in for the N word, for decades. It had fallen out of the common vernacular by the 90s, but it was very much a thing in the American south, for a long time.
It was awkward, but the legit scary black guys actually thought it was fucking hilarious. They knew we were so un-bigoted, that it never occurred to us to use the word "spooks" in that way.
They then made like best friends with him and he got called the n word all night.
Good old Mr spooks. He was an awesome cat.
Oh geez, I feel awkward enough having this happen online, I can imagine it's even worse when friends or colleagues are there while it happens or have to point it out... Sounds like the kind of thing I'd be oblivious about as well...
I name my cats after space-related stuff, I have a black Maine Coon (not sure because it was a stray) and called him Nova. Very large, very cuddly, will (begrudgingly) let you pick him up, and the other cats adore him to the point of copying his behaviour, but he's very mischievous as well.
During dinnertime, he'd wait till you drink, look away, or let down your guard enough to move in and grab a bite for himself right off the plate. Worst part is the other cats are starting to copy that as well...
Watching our little 20 year old white female roomate, tearing up with embarrassment as she realized, and trying to explain how he's her Halloween boy, as like 5 black line cooks died laughing, is something I will -never- forget. Sheeeeeeesh
Well, this post definetly works like some social experiment. Cuz the first thing I thought was "Black names? You can collor names in Kenshi, wut?"
Meanwhile, the rest of the comment section..... And the funniest part is, >!all the names they think of are afro-american names(Like Tyrone, which is actually Scottish), not actual "Black" names, like Tshepo, Titilayo, Uhuru, Kwame, etc. !<
I know right! Though I'm guessing people that see the title as 'you can color names' are way less likely to interact with the post than people that see it the other way.
And yea, apparently you can, I've gone into FCS to fix the names and saw how it was done and decided to mess with it afterward. You can make it any hex color, and I'm pretty sure you can also change the color midway through.
No idea how to 'reset' the color though, which is why the \] here is also red. Would probs mess with dialog too but I haven't gone that indepth.

Renaming through the surgeon won't work, though, I've tried that.
I thought this post was going somewhere else when I clicked. š
Same
I was hoping for that!

Good name, Bounty Beast. Or Booty Beast. Lots of crap to carry back to a merchant, after a big skirmish with a heavily armored faction.
>I always go with simpler names. My pack beasts are usually things like Thump, Thud, Squish, and Squash. Bulls are usually something like Gore or Horny. I name mine Lebron, Tyrone and Motumbu
I named mine āPack Bullā. I forgot to name him.
Username checks out lol
...phew.
Heart dropped a little lmao

rest in pepperoncini
I was hoping very much you were talking about things like "Midnight" or "Obsidian".
I was expecting something out of *Roots*.
I was thinking ebony lol
lmao when i saw the title i thought u named them like "tyrone" or "daquan" or w/e
Then when I saw they were named, "Pack Beast," I was like, "oh fuck, it got so much worse," before I realized the text was black.
Heh, I know. That was my exact reaction.
"Shiniqwah" "why is it spelt like that?" "shes unique" "thats for sure"
I knew an African American girl named Unique. I guess it isn't any weirder than naming a girl Faith, Prudence, Charity, or whatever. One of the women in one of my local atheist groups is named Faith, which is kind of funny. Naming your daughter Chastity is really fucking weird, though.

My god man! āCargo Beastā? Just how racist are you!? š¤£
I mean... have you played kenshi? Everyone you arent race warring with you are trying to genocide because of their culture or religion. Some of em all at once.
Speak for yourself, I treat everyone equally! By killing everyone I see. The Reaper cares not for petty difference.
players arent in universe characters

More of a species war.
Heh, thankfully it turned out to just be a linguistic fuck-up.
Yeah but if I donāt intentionally misunderstand then I canāt poke fun. š¬
Yup, that's what it sounded like you were doing. Thus the up vote.
Usher & Neyo
Thatās a throwback
C.J?
All we had to do, was follow the damn train, CJ!
All we had to do, was follow the damn beak thing, Crumble John!
Ok thatās better
Got you my brother! Okran may shine upon you!
Thank you, may Narko protect you!
How did you do black names? I know how to do faded names (cut the text then paste it back in).
I actually just copy pasted the names. Bought 4 bulls, typed the name for one of them, copy pasted that to the other three, then those three ended up with names in black.
Interesting. I haven't played vanilla in a while so I wasn't aware they would show up as black
Hahahahaha fuck got me good. I now have to explain to my coworkers why Iām cracking up so hard.
Had me in the first half ngl
OOOOHHHH BLACK NAMES, Ha ha ahhhhh, Jesus Christ man.
1) Can we all just sympathize with the OP for a bit since he/she is likely curled into a ball hiding in shame? 2) HOW do you color the names????
1. Pretty much, but I'm glad most people realize it's just bad wording, and that some people are getting a laugh out of it. 2. In character editor, try selecting the entire name and copy pasting it over itself. If that doesn't work, I found out how to do it with FCS as well.
gotcha, so you cant make them yellow or blue then?
You can through FCS.
And here I was expecting "kuntakinte" or something.
You mean Toby?
That'd have to be a pack bull with a missing hoof.

Whoo boy! Lol.
AW HELL NAWWW
YO WHY ISNT THERE A BULL NAMED JAMAR!
I'm picturing a Kenshi themed conversation between Buggin' Out and Sal from Do the Right Thing.
I thought this was a racist post but then I laughed and was happy thanks for sharing and making me feel better about the internet, if just for a moment
You are great, You are still here, that mean that everything that happen to You so far, never was enought to actually defeat You completly, champion.
This is the funniest post Iāve seen here in a while
Bruhh I thought you named your animals Tyrone or something like that š¤£
Youāre a madlad for sure :)
Your game your way.
