The Romani people is an ethnic groups that saw half of it's european population exterminated doing the Holocaust. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_genocide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Alex Posted January 9, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2020 I don't think that "gypsy" is necessarily a "slur." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_people " Usage of "gypsy" and similarly derived words differs between groups as some Roma groups use this word as a self-identifier[citation needed] while others consider this word a racial slur." Basically, while some may see it as a pejorative, it is not clear that it only has that interpretation, and therefore I don't see a reason to moderate against it, at least without more context indicating a pejorative connotation. Regardless, in this instance, the name was randomly generated by a "pony name generator" after the user's previous name was deemed inappropriate for genocidal connotations. Is there a bug?
