From an email sent to the\u00a0hash list\u00a0today:<\/p>\n
We had a newly named hasher who sent an e-mail to the hash list in Charlotte today, demanding a renaming as she felt her current name was \u201coffensive and degrading.\u201d I\u2019m not saying it isn\u2019t, but her name, \u201cDon\u2019t C#m On My Face, Thank You\u201d, was suggested by her fiance as he thought that our names that actually involved information about her weren\u2019t offensive enough. . . .<\/p>\n
What are some good stories about renamings\/names to go to when someone\u2019s complaining too much? I know this list has some. I\u2019ve always been partial to one that involves taking it for a pack of smokes. Discuss<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So far there have been eight responses. All but one were posted by male hashers, and were about what one would expect: the Charlotte hash should rename her, so long as the new name incorporates the word \u201ccunt.\u201d Here\u2019s a typical response:<\/p>\n
The hash isn\u2019t for everybody.
\nHow\u2019s about\u2026
\nDon\u2019t Cum in my Cunt
\nThree Mile Cunt
\nOpen Festering Cunt<\/p>\nBTW How\u2019s her tit?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The hash isn\u2019t for everybody? Actually, I agree: the hash\u00a0isn\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0for everybody. Some people don\u2019t like running. Some don\u2019t like to be outdoors. Some would rather go to the mall. But whether or not you\u2019re willing to accept a name that embarrasses or humiliates you is not the criterion.<\/p>\n
This shit has nothing to do with hashing, and I\u2019ve had enough. Anger and late-night posting rarely mix well, but for what it\u2019s worth, here\u2019s the response I posted tonight:<\/p>\n
Er . . . I beg to differ.<\/p>\n
When someone objects to a filthy, immoral, or degrading name, that\u2019s a valid objection.<\/p>\n
We recently named a guy \u201cWhatever\u201d because that\u2019s about the only thing he gave us during the Q&A: \u201cwhatever.\u201d He doesn\u2019t like his name and hasn\u2019t been back to the hash. Fine. There\u2019s nothing objectionable about a name like that, and we aren\u2019t about to change it.<\/p>\n
But if you name a harriette \u201cDon\u2019t Cum on My Face, Thank You\u201d and she\u2019s offended by it, that\u2019s another thing altogether.<\/p>\n
A lot of people \u2014 and that includes a lot of hashers \u2014 think names like that should never be given in the first place. How is giving someone an offensive and degrading name related to hashing? How could anyone consider that acceptable behavior? The harriette has every reason to object, and the hash should respect her wishes and rename her.<\/p>\n
And not something worse. This business of coming up with even more offensive replacement names makes me think of nothing so much as a couple of eight-year-olds trying to out-insult each other: Oh yeah, well you\u2019re a scumsuckerfuckwad! Oh yeah, well you\u2019re a scumsuckerfuckwad a scizillion times! Would it kill us to grow up?<\/p>\n
A lot of hashers hate filthy and degrading names. A lot of hashers refuse to accept filthy and degrading names. Who the fuck says they can\u2019t be hashers if they reject filthy and degrading names? Who the fuck says meekly accepting a name you find incredibly offensive is what determines whether you\u2019re a hasher or a non-hasher?<\/p>\n
Who the fuck, I might ask, said hashers have to have hash names in the first place?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I might also have asked why all these \u201ccunt\u201d renaming suggestions come from guys who don\u2019t themselves have degrading names?<\/p>\n
The original hashers didn\u2019t have hash names. The tradition of hashers bestowing hash names on one another didn\u2019t start until the mid-1970s, and it has by no means become universal. There are plenty of hashes today where hash names are not given, and of the hash kennels that do give names, most steer well clear of anything dirty or insulting.<\/p>\n
Sorry, but when some pipsqueak twerp tells me he\u2019s the judge of who is or isn\u2019t hashworthy, I tend to get a little huffy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
