This user is called "Hitler" is that realy allowed?
Most websites, games and services block nazi usernames so i was just wondering.

What would be the point besides being a racist piece of shit?
I can't imagine his real name actually being Hitler, which sickos would call their son Hitler.

To be fair, Hitler is still a used surname. It's heavily associated with Adolf Hitler, and the families that have that name endure a lot of hardships. Plenty of people change their name because of it.

For all we know, it's literally just his/her family name. 80 years later, it does not need to be always associated with Nazis/Fascism.

Just playing devils advocate :-)

It's the internet in 2019 you're really going to complain about a username "hitler"?

I'm just saying it's not really a big deal. There's worse usernames out there.... As long as the user isn't posting nazi shit and being a complete ass hat I don't see the problem as people would probably consider it an OG username.

...What? Hitler is a last name. Do you know how names work? Family names, surnames, last names, ring bells? You're thinking of Adolf. You're also really just not aware that it is an actual name of Germanic decent.

It's not like Adolf Hitler went to the court of law and changed his name legally from Edward Doofenschmitz to Adolf Hitler.

Alright true but still, can you imagine a Jim Kowarski marrying an Isabella Hitler and they decided that Hitler is the last name they should pass on to their kids?
I expected that Hitler wouldn't be anyone's last name in 2019 especially due to your statement saying that people even changed their names in the past.

Hitler's mother's last name was Polzl. If he had used that as his name, would you then think that Polzl was extremely offensive and that it should never be taken as a name?

What if his name was Dan Stevens? Jon Marchessault?

A name's just a name. They changed their names because Germany has been brutally trying to suppress any link to Nazi Germany that they can and in turn have treated people with that name poorly. There's lots of times in history where that happened, you need only look at history of Irish descendants in Canada for instance.

The mother of adolf hitler isn't adolf hitler so no, especially because i didn't know that actually lol.

Anyways i get your point but lets get real here, that user's last name is not Hitler we both know that lol
But as ShinyThings already mentioned he isn't being racist on here i guess, i was just kinda shocked seeing that name as a HF username and it irritated me because of what it stands for.

Yeah, his mother's name was Polvl and she married a Hitler. If he took his mother's name (I'm pretty sure if I remember correctly he was much closer to her) then the history books would read differently. Anyways.

Meh. There's a user on here with the name 'Cunt'.

At the end of the day, like I said, usernames are names. If he's going about forum business in a proper manner, I don't see the issue.

Oh no how horrendous. Letters in this specific combination literally kills Jewish children! How is he allowed to put letters together in this combination!!

Let me guess, you are from germany and your full name is not Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz Jr. but it's actually Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz Hitler Jr. ?

No, sadly my parents missed that glorious meme opportunity

[Charger]

It’s a name on the internet. Hitler is not an offensive word.
You can’t have racial slurs as your username.

[Pain]

You should probably get off the internet if something like that offends you.
