What's the deal with forbidden names?

[三Akiyama]

Why can't I name myself "Akiyama" bruh. It's just a common Japanese name. Is this game being racist (/s)?

[Ave]

racist against its own people?

[三Akiyama]

" /s "

[Truth_X_ile]

All mine were forbidden/restricted

Truth_X_ile
TruthXile
Truth

So I just entered Atem & it worked

Pity I couldn't use the name I use for everything, but Truth by itself is restricted, makes no sense

Good Luck & Have Fun

That's just so weird. Hopefully they'll look into their filter and fix it - I am happy with the username I chose (Rentoh), but it's still... annoying.

[NikkMann]

I normally use NikkMann, turns out Nik is a restricted word smh

[Spook Rooster]

i suppose there's no chance for me. certain stupid devs think "spook" is still used derogatorily of black people despite the fact its extremely archaic. looks like it'll be the case here.

ever hear of ghosts?

It's 2022 bro you can't let the truth out :p

Is there a list of those "forbidden words" somewhere? Beause it doesn't let me put my name (the same as on steam) and I would love to know what ridiculously unreasonable word is blocking me

just use greek alphabet words:

You can look for a greek alphabet online get one letter in your desired name and copy paste it.

For example instead of "Akiyama" you can use "Αkiyama" where i swapped A with Α (alpha letter)


this is the site for greek alphabet words that i have used :

Meanwhile I have seen accounts with 10x more racist names and they are still allowed to be used. Report system should have an option to report those names.

Usually I see it as a derogatory term for government agents. You know, the sort who make people disappear.

[Tunnel Sharks Rule!!!]

At least loli is allowed still

[Lazer]

Meanwhile Swastika Kanji 100% allowed = Master Duel logic

I mean, yes, but that still doesn't make any sense.
