Its nice, you should try and sketch out you're character, scane it and then draw over it, it makes it look better. Good job non-the-less.

in german it is correctly spelled except the double 'e' should be a single one...

what it means should be clear to everybody...

Andail

change the name, please. Right now you're using a highly derogatory and racist term.

Snarky

As far as I know, that's not true in many languages. The word just means "black", after all. In European countries where slavery and segregation is not a major part of their history, the negative connotations may not apply.

DoorKnobHandle

Oh yeah, they do... Trust me!

Al_Ninio

Perhaps.
But this is an English speaking forum, and it sounds racist.
Nobody is accusing him of being racist, just saying that the file name is rather offensive.

MrColossal

c'mooon! There aren't any black people on the ags forums! Who cares!

Spoiler
Do I have to even say that this is a joke?

Snarky, I don't get it...you say in some languages, this is not a racist term...so therefore it's no problem?
Should we all pretend that we don't understand it, or what?

The word is, translated to English, "Negroe". Don't you find it a tad tasteless and careless to write such things nowadays?

Eric, what is a joke, your post, or the initial post? 'Cause I'm not really sure.

MrColossal

my post, andail

andail, does it translate to Negro as in the english word Negro? Or is it like negro, the spanish word for black?

Darth's opinion on the holy EN-word
If people would stop getting offended over a stupid and insignificant word, it would lose it's power.


What if colect12 is black?  Remember, black folk are 'allowed' to use the word ...

colect12, if you're black, stay strong brother and don't change the title.

If you're not black you racist pig change the title before people start wettin' their pants!!

if he's german: in german it translates to:

I just think we should preserve this forum from certain racist symbols.

Is it because the English-speaking members of this forum don't recognise the word that some don't care?

For me, words like "Nigger" have a huge symbolic power. I won't wet my pants, but I'm rather sure it'll have some sort of effect.

Anyhow, I'm a bit tired of debates atm, so someone else can make the call.

Did anyone even notice how collect didn't even post back? You probably scared him away, or he's just happy to see you fight.
Think about the kittens man!

I wasn't aiming at you :)  I completely understand how that word offends some.  And I totally agree that I don't want to see it on these forums either.

It's a stupid word that nobody should use, even black people.

Reptile, a small debate arose, that happens sometimes. That way we can figure out what is wrong and right together.
I don't really see the point with your post, however.
