I saw someone with "inner-child-abortion-clinic" on tumblr.

Yours is pretty good, actually.

Most names I see here are just references or trying to be ultra edgy and offensive (SatansMaggotyCumFart for example). They might be memorable, but I wouldn't say they are creative.

Not many people have puns or even well done portmanteaus for usernames. 😔

I have seen yours the most. It's not the most creative but it's definitely the most eye catching from all big Lemmy posters.

Would it be more creative knowing the origin?

It's my two dogs' names combined. Loki and Kona. But I also misspelled it and the KOLA should have been a KOLO. KOloNAki.

How did you put a couloured spiral in your name though?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

Display name can use emojis and other special characters.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

It's definitely fun to know that.

For me creative would be more like when something makes me giggle but only after reading it twice.

That's worrying for someone who was on yiffit

Only if you're a weirdo who incorrectly assumes all furries are zoophiles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I thought yiff referred to the zoophile furries?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

It is just a shorthand for furry porn/slang for having sex in general.

Furries are humanoid creatures with animal appearances and human or near human intelligence, they're generally not considered zoophilic because they are mostly humanoid and can consent

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But furries cannot consent without being forced to by their human authors, therefore they cannot consent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I can't tell if you're joking, this is something I would say if I were trolling. Just in case you're serious: If they have human authors they are created with EXPLICIT consent. That's how fiction works xD That's like condemning all fiction literature because the people in the stories were forced into horrible situations for the sake of the plot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

That's why all fiction is bad.

~~I am trolling at this point but I thought yiff was zoophilia~~

Mine's not clever, just an NPC I made for an old GURPS game I ran ages ago that I've since used as my handle online. Frustratingly there's some guy in Italy who claimed it as their Steam name though so that's the one place I couldn't use it lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

FYI: your display name on steam doesn't have to be your login name and it doesn't need to be unique (but if you join a game with someone using the same name, whoever joins last will have a number appended to the end of it). You can change it whenever you want from the edit profile page.

Fark had a “Terrified Asexual Forcemeat” back in the day and that was…memorable
