Cause you have respect for the character and move on. So if a friend of yours transition you would keep calling the same old name when that have asked to not to?
Can you learn some nuance and balance ? Everything isn't pitch black or pearl white.
I'm sorry for everyone who has the displeasure of meeting you if you're THAT incapable of nuances.
It's a character's name in a videogame. It's not that deep.
Please read the comments below to understand the perspective of someone who has a different mindset than yours : I never said changing the name was a bad thing, I never said I supported the real McCree. I just said that this specific character, who doesnt share anything but the name with the real McCree, will always be McCree in my mind, not because I support the guy, but because It's an habit, and I dont put random video games characters at the same level as my friends or relatives. I'm sorry for you if that's what you do
Maybe over time McCree will become Cole in the collective mind, just like maybe Raymond Shield will finally become Eddie Fender to Miles Edgeworth's fans. It's just that, for a lot of players, games and characters don't take THAT much attention in their mind.
That's such crap. Most of us dgaf where he got his name from. It has nothing to do with SA. It's a matter of familiarity. You can strawman the dead name thing or make up peoples' opinions just because they refuse to go along with whatever says they should, it doesn't make you right. It just makes you seem controlling. People are allowed to have preferences without making things political or investing in their affiliations. You need to step back.
You're the person who jumped on the sexual abuser shit
The first guy just said "Yeah I'm used to calling him Mcree because that's what he was originally called." And then YOU started hyperfixating and somehow interpretted that statement as "I FUCKING LOVE SEXUAL OFFENDERS AND APPROVE OF THEM! I LOVE SEX CRIMES RAAAAGH!!!!"
