  1. My offensive gamertag!


    good morning all

    I have been through your support line and told to post here.

    I setup the gamertag "" many years ago and appreciate its pretty gruesome. I have recently purchased an xbox one and every time im online the gamertag just breeds abuse. Its clearly very offensive for people and was wondering if xbox can do
    anything to assist with changing. I cant really afford the change right now as used the free one 10 years ago but had enough of the abuse it creates!

    Any assistance would be much appreciated

    Chris

    :)

    Yeah, I don't find your current tag offensive, but if someone changed it on you, I'd be chasing them for reimbursement. like Owen has said, you definitely won't get a free one.

    Is my gamertag offensive?

    [quote user="sparklefingers"]

    i could see someone who is disabled getting upset by it.

    i am a carer and deal with things like that i find that my charges do get offended by things like that, now thats normally down to the kind of person they are. like if they're confident they don't give a shish but if not then they get upset, or if its a
    new change then they tend to get upset by it.

    but hay ho, like others have said the worse that can happen is you're asked to change it so keep it.

    As a carer you should know the term "disabled" is considered to be very offensive and degrading. Paraplegic is fine as a gamertag in my opinion.

    Only way I can see someone being offended is if they're actively looking for things to be offended by. Which happens a lot, sadly

    Quoted for truth.

    I don't think it's offensive. I'm worried some people might, even though I'm a paraplegic myself. That's why I came here first to see if anyone did. You did without giving a reason, can you tell my why this term is offensive to you?

    distasteful i would say.

    if xblpet agree they will force you to change it.
