it sounds way to close to the "N" word...
Specially with all the ESL people out there....
Imagine hearing on ts2 ok i just got ganked by 3 naga's.... or omg 50 naga's just undocked...
I know the mythos behind the name is cool and all but i am afraid most people will get the nega mixed up with this |

Naga used to be a widely used word in Eve when Naga corp had a monopoly on many popular T2 ships (3 month wait for a Vagabond from Naga back in the day), and I don't think I've ever heard this complaint.
I think you're overreacting. |

That Naga stole my bike.
Also the more you play the race card and say something is racist, the more racist it will become. Strange how that works out. |

I'm offended by your use of the word 'potentially'. Are you saying I'm impotent? We want breast augmentations and sluttier clothing in the NeX! |

Oh look, he has a single webbing drone out. 
MeBiatch, contrary to what you may believe, most people have a general idea of what a Naga is.
A few thousand years of mythology wins over a few decades of mispronounced racist slang. Fortunately, anyone using the word in the way you suggest instantly puts the "I'm an uneducated idiot" stamp firmly on their forehead.
Of course, so does throwing the term Jew around as many do in game to indicate a person overtly focused on only making money, but one thing at a time. To kill the enemy and break their toys!
It's not so much a mission statement,-áit's more like a family motto. |

I'm african american, and this does concern me. There are many words that begin with N so perhaps you should be more specific since I see no issue with naming a ship after a mythical snake. However, Caldari seem to prefe bird names anyways.. and besides,
racists in EVE?
Naga please. |

Look, if you would pronounce the words properly you wouldn't have this problem. See with the word that offends you, you need to pronounce the ending R harder. Try it.....see, doesn't sound anything like Naga once pronunciation is corrected. If you practice the pronunciation of that word more often, perhaps every morning, soon, you'll be able to distinguish the difference quite easily. It's just a matter of habituation.

"my own people"?
FYI, racism begin when you start making a difference between "us" and "them".
As for the Naga name, you're just oversensitive. Get over it already. |

I would just like to make the observation that OP did the worst possible thing for his argument by pointing it out in the first place. He must be new here. |
