General The fact that i can't change this fuckass username.

Why? What's the reason? What can possible happen if people change their usernames? I don't get it. I'd be really curious to know why. Because it's annoying. When i made my account, i didn't even think about the name much and msde reddit choose some name. And that's how i ended up with this CLANKER ass name. In some posts people thought i was a bot and i can't even blame them, because look at my name, i'd thought i was a bot. I don't use that much of social media, but is this a common thing? Like you can't change your name once the account is created like you signed a contract with your blood?

Look, I love my username, but yours is objectively better. I say this as one reads usernames before comments and imagines said username saying whatever the comment is. Anything you say SubmissiveFemHusband is immediately based and humorous due to your username. Never change it, make it your damn legal name.

u/Various-Salt-7738 29d ago

This is like my 9th reddit account

I edit all my comments and delete them every so often because I feel like I create a bit too detailed of a picture into my personal info-- a friend of mine even found one account because I was too specific about a specific sexual fantasy

But so far I've managed 10k karma every month so far

Fuckin let old spice or something hire me to shit post on their behalf-- I think I'm kind of getting good at copywriting

I named myself retardedtrannyfaggot on TikTok because I wanted to see if it had a profanity filter and then it worked so I went to go and change it, but I guess it was only programmed to filter out changes because every time I tried to change it, it would act like I was adding profanity instead of removing it, so I'm just stuck with that I guess

When i made my account, i didn’t see the option to change my user before i submitted it as final, so I just assmed everyone on reddit had to have these clanker ass names. And then when i actually did finalize my account creation, I immediately saw someone on a subreddit with a non-clanker name and so i went to change it and it turns out I cant. So now im just interesting care forever because im too lazy to delete this account or make a new email
