    I know not the point, but…

    I tried entering the same name I use for the game for campfire and it told my that others would find it offensive, and refused to let me use it…it’s been a nickname of mine for something like 20 years

    Still haven’t signed up for the standalone app…can’t figure out what else to call myself :/

        It has spaz in it.

        I would freak out, but freeze at the same time when people would make fun of me, if that makes sense…thus the name.

          It’s considered a slur against disabled people in Britain. It has the same origins in the US, but now the word is mostly used to describe high energy kids who can’t sit still.

            Yeah. I mean, I figured out it was considered bad with the whole lizzy thing. Idk.

            Mostly, it was the fact that I couldnt decide what to do in certain situations. So like, I’d open my mouth to talk, but then decide not to say anything and no words would come out, so it looked like weird, jerky movements. If I was really angry, I would be shaking. Stuff like that. I mean, it’s not like the description wasn’t semi accurate, I just didn’t have the disability that went with it.
