I'd just like to weigh in by saying... I don't give a single solitary fuck.
I don't see the point of removing the name. If it's a statement, it's an almost infinitesimal one. And does anyone even use the random names? The only time I do, it's because I was trying to quickstart a character too fast and skipped the name entry screen by accident.
On the other hand, I also couldn't care less if it is removed, because it has a negligible effect on the game. I think in all my games where I accidentally got a random name(and there are lots, Sereg'ing badges requires lots of restarting, lol), I've never had that one come up.
I share Para's disappointment that anything even remotely related to the whole Gamergate bullshit festival has made it over to DoomRL, but as it is a game, I suppose there's some basis for a connection.
Other then that, though... I don't see how it has anything to do with anything, and the whole discussion seems like an exercise in futility - and yet, here I am, participating in it.
