I do not just mean this website but it seems every website that has registered users in it seem to have people with offensive usernames. The most recent one I have encountered which was particularly offensive to me as a faithful Christian believer was 'Godz', the presence of the "z" in "Godz"'s name implies the existence of multiple gods, which is really disrespectful towards believers of the monotheistic faiths. I hope his name was force changed to appeal to the audience and not offend anyone.

I just think you're overthinking things. "God" was probably taken so he/she took "Godz".

On a more serious note, because they think it's cool or they're just too immature to begin with? Or..... they're just trolling around, cause this IS the internet.

That's the internet for you!
Just try to ignore it.. The more attention you give them, the happier they are.

Everyone should be excluded from taking such names as they can be greatly offensive. He should have searched for some other name that is less offensive, kinda like your's.

They are consequences everywhere, even on the Internet. It is sad when online moderators fail to follow up on enforcing their rules. I have to cover their usernames every time my 6 year old nephew is around so his young mind is not corrupted.

I'm atheist, I even find the word God offensive.

Don't worry to much about them, unless the site itself restricts certain usernames there's nothing much that can be done. It may be offensive to you but what about religions that do have more Gods? If it's a site specially for Christians then maybe you could talk it out with that person otherwise chances are that the person belongs to some other religion. Or the simplest of explanations, people consider it cool to add x or z (whichever sounds better) to their user names. If the site doesn't allow duplicate user names then they could have just added the z because God was already taken as someone mentioned earlier.

Godzilla is not cool, it is also in fact deeply offensive. It refers to God as a lizard monster.

Not to mention that it was originally Japanese made with some other name and ripped off later in the west. Godzilla also gives a false sense of evolution and brainwashes little kids. I know it happened to me, till my mother made me realize the error of my ways.

I love "offensive" usernames and sites that allow them.

(Signaling @CheekyKunt, though there's a major difference in the offense level for that one. An average American/SJW would be triggered, but it's more common in Australia then 'hello'.)

Having an offensive name is another way to garner more attention than you deserve. Is like pretending to be a girl and posting some random picture of a cute girl from Instagram even though in real life you are an obese acne ridden tub of grease with a small penis.

Either you're a troll or a hypocrite considering death note is listed as your favorite anime which would be super offensive to any devote Christian.

Honestly, I don't care. Unless they're being intentionally vulgar on a game or site that's trying to be family friendly and has rules to that effect, I see no problem. And if I did, responding directly is the worst thing I could do. Nobody does something like that without the intention of trolling.

As an aside, OP's example gets a 0/10. Anyone that easily offended would be best served by never using the internet. "Redskins_Fan" is objectively more offensive, and still doesn't even come close to qualifying.

Godz isn't that offensive compared to many other usernames I've seen in sites,games and etc.

Like King_Oriax said you have Death Note as your favorite anime and continued to watch it to the end, when it had material that would be offensive to most Christians.

I have had some similar experiences in the not-too-distant past, which I'd like to share.

Death note is an anime, made purely for entertainment. It is anecdotal and nothing of it holds much value in real. Your comparasion is silly.

Ok... Gl on educating a small percentage of people that may or may not change, on this topic about offensive names. I find it more silly making something to shame people. Anyways gonna remove this from watched topics.

I'm going to assume that you are not serious. But if you are, I think that you are way out of line and that you are overreacting. I am an atheist, but I just can't see why you would get so mad over a name on a forum. It's not like he is trying to lambast your faith with his username.

He probably just thought that god would be a funny username on the forums and it was taken or maybe he just like to go by the handle Godz online. But the idea of someone pretending to be the god of a forum is really funny to me.

Why sir I take my religion very seriously as a devout christian. It greatly offenses me and my fellow Christian humans when someone transgresses the great religion. Sure you can call it overreacting but you would learn to feel the same way once you take something pensively.

Ahh that name would offend me but it's fucking twitter and there's really nothing that can be done about it.

One of the saddest things about the modern world is that even in 2018, people have not realized the error of their ways and this still continues to be a problem.

I ask of us fellow anime watchers, when will we stand up against this nonsensical acts of spreading nothing but hatred. Godz is still one of the most offensive names I have heard on a website and it really pains me that nothing is being done about it.
