I don't expect you to do the right thing and back off from your crusade.

"Do the right thing"? really?!? You're mustering an awful lot of righteous indignation over the letters that identify your avatar in a game you don't even pay for. Yeah, actually, that's the real point. You don't pay for this. You don't own it.
Someone else set up a playground and said, "Hey you can come use this for free, at my discretion." So, you look at all the toys and slides and think it's a pretty cool looking place to hang out. So you come in and play for awhile, but then you do something that the owner's chaperon sees and doesn't like. The chaperon says, "Change this, or you'll have to leave." Now you have a choice. Is playing in the playground still worth it to you if you have to have different letters above your head? It's a "yes" or "no". The bottom line is that this is not your playground, so you don't make the rules. The owner didn't say, "Hey, I'm making this cool playground thing and I want a bunch of people to come in and help decide what the rules are going to be."
Basically what I am saying here is that
you have not been wronged.
You are not a victim. If you want to be able to have the name Shadenfreude, then you ought to approach the issue by asking the devs politely and privately if they will allow it. Claiming moral outrage when there is no cause for it just makes you look foolish, or like someone trying to start a movement.
