What you are saying is completely irrelevant. #1 my avatar has nothing to do with in-game…and I only have it on as my avatar as a protest against the censorship that I am currently enduring.

Additionally, the Wutang (Wudang) Mountains are an actual place in China and have a rich cultural history that is deeply rooted in martial arts. It’s a pilgrimage site for people the world over who follow Taoism. The Five Dragons Temple for example, was constructed at the behest of Emperor Taizong of Tang. In 1994 the Wutang Gardens were made a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You cant copy right an entire region of the world – it doesn’t work like that. If I had a character named “Atlantic” or “Appellation” or “Antarctica” would I be censored? My contention is that no, no I would not be.

In martial arts the skill qinggong translate to “Inner Flame” – SOUND FAMILIAR? LEVEL 56?

In no way am I infringing on the copy rights of the RZA, the GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, Raekwon the Chef, U-God, Ghostface Killah and the Method Man. These guys have nothing to do with Wu’Tang in the context and cultural sense that I am using the term Wu’Tang. You insinuating that I am intentionally breaking the rules is appalling and quite rude. Wu’Tang is traditional martial arts surname that has meaning in Norrath. Not only does it pay homage to an entire region of the world for which we as Americans take for granted, it also pays homage to Master Wu of Norrath.

If you want to go further down the rabbit hole I will post you my entire reasoning why I am being unfairly targeted and why this whole thing is a big misunderstanding and that my name should be restored

I grouped with a guy named “Weedlord Bonerhitler” in game not so long ago, yet god forbid we use names that are both culturally and historically relevant (Both in EQ and in the Lore the class is based on) to the class I am playing.
