By creating this thread and linking 50 cent, you are now seen as a racist piece of **** in the eyes of my people. Please DIAF.

i am a african american... how can i be racist against my own people... i want ccp to change to name to take away from racits...

or are you a moron?

Ten generations down the road under the watchful eyes and ears of your Politically Correct At All Costs party and the human race is living in caves because communication has been limited to guttural sounds preventing any advanced organization.

Because people are so stupid that they cannot hear or understand the difference so just to be safe all words that sound, look, feel and could potentially be construed as should be removed ..

I was more upset they eve lore-wise named the kitsune after a snake.

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

Can't wait for this ship, I'll finally be able to put this to good use...

It's probably not... smart to use a name like that :)

Its prob the guy who made this post who needs to stop being a cry baby and take of hes ***** classes.
That kind of people can always find something racist in every thing they se if they want to.
they are just as bad as the racists tbh.

It's pronounced nah-gah. Not nag-ah. Of course this is the same playerbase that pronounces it skimitar so

Yeah Nagas are mythological entities in Hinduism and Buddhism. They're kind of oceanic snake people IIRC. In Mahayana Buddhist mythology, hey brought the Mahayana scriptures of Buddhism to the world after they were buried by the Buddha, or lost or something.

Most of Caldari is birds, but I guess reptilian things are close, considreing the theories that birds are descended from dinosaurs. We're already out of whack with the Scorpion, so I guess Nagas aren't too much of a stretch (stretch, snake, geddit? ah nvm).

Back on topic though: Surely you're not seriously suggesting that Naga sounds like the evil word that brothers call each other all the time? If anything, I'd say it'd probably sound like a bunch of people nagging. Example:

Scout: "Oh yeah, there's a bunch of naggers here."
FC: "Um, wat? U serious? People are nagging in local? R' they blue, red or grey?"
Scout: "Ehm, no dude. They're not nagging. I meant Nagas, as in the ship, the Naga."
FC: "Oh, well why didn't you say so?"
Scout: "I did!"
FC: "Allright, no need to get all naggy about it."
Scout: "That's so not funny."
FC: "Well, now you ARE nagging."
Scout: "*Sigh*, NO, now I'm gonna start nagging, because a bunch of nagas just popped my ship."
FC: "OK, I'm a bit confused now, are you saying they're nagging, or are you nagging, or are their ships nagging? What's the score here?"
Scout: "Goddammit you ******* stupid fat nerd! I just lost my ship because of your dumb fat ass! I quit!"
FC: "Oh, anybody else wanna be scout?"
Fleet: "NO!"

also can anybody explain the "the germans would destroy the pronunciation" comment to me?
I am German and as far as I can tell we would pronounce it reasonably well, certainly closer to its correct pronunciation than an American speaker would do intuitively.

I'm would not be too happy with Naga, would keep reminding me of WoW.

For those that have never played it, they are half human half serpent mobs that dwell in and around coastal areas.

and yet you got whole faction named Serpentis.

If you're in a fleet with a guy saying ****** instead of naga deliberately then you're in a pretty crap fleet or he's not been kicked yet.

If you're in a fleet with a guy saying ****** accidentally instead of naga then correct him and be done with it.

It is people that see using a taboo word to shock or draw attention to themselves that show their lack of maturity and are inherently pathetic. Have faith people in game can see past this and don't do this yourself. Problem solved.

racists in EVE?

That. By design we're all racists (ingame).

Wait wait, let me get this straight, OP uses a name that may be interpreted as something sexist and demeaning toward females, but cries about the name Naga being mistaken for a racist slur?

You are so full of yourself. GTFO

6/10

Persecution complex?

I was more concerned that they stole the name of a ****** Battlemech, but your point is good.

.... Oh and I dig Herman Cain and will vote for him, so don't go there.

Wassup my naga's?

Fair game that it's a something you could double take over if you heard it on vent, but I really don't think its close enough to warrant the name needing to be changed,.
