Re: %7FSY+a3Pt

Ganging up on people and forcing humiliating names on them is something schoolyard bullies do, and we shouldn't support it in any shape or form.

@Cy as a personal counter-example: my university friends "forced" the nickname Mikey on me, i was initially very resistant to it, how dare someone else choose my name! until i realized they were using the name as a term of endearment, turns out not all nicknames are meant to hurt the other person, now i notice all the ways nicknames are used to share love.
