I have my own "political" (I am a vampire, do not vote, but follow the power lines diligently) views. Regardless of whatever the song/phrase meant originally it is now hyper charged speech and should be avoided like a ....russian minefield....?

I mean, we do not want to work HC staff overtime. They do this voluntarily and they have better things to do. At Disney Land/World you (past age 14?) cannot dress as a Disney character. This is not due to trademark practices, but because it can confuse young guests. So die hard fans that are pros do something called "Disney Bounding" where they dress with similar colors, maybe a ribbon in the hair to match, but do not "copy" a character obviously enough to fool anyone. An homage character, with "hints" at the influence, and a DIFFERENT name, might be fine. Or pick something that is in public domain, like, maybe a nosferatu lol.

lemming Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I think OP mentioning to the player that they would probably get generic'd was a nice thing to do. And it's not like he posted the person's global, and it's not like we can look them up, since as stated, they got a generic right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After it did, we had a discussion about what happened & why. They were gonna just shuck the game, but I tried to convince 'em to stay. Not sure it was a success. Just curious: The picture you posted showed the other player had the "Help Me" banner over the character name. Did they state they were actually new? I know some seasoned players take that banner for a lark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said they wanted to play the game specifically to be Dr. Strange and weren’t coming back. By the end of the conversation, they did say “IF I come back,” and joked that they’d take the generic as a sign of being too good at making costumes. But really. They got renamed as I was warning them. And it was a pretty good costume.:-) I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc. Just search the AE mish list for my sig @cranebump.
