Check urban dictionary, it describes wiggler as either a penis or as someone who gets sexually assaulted via the back by surprise

Maybe it’s because I’m British, but Knob Wiggler would be fckng hilarious. And have numerous meanings, especially given how many people like watching “you tube synth brand influencer” videos now

I don’t believe a reason for the name change was given?

As perhaps a minority woman here, I found it immature, but I love synthesizers and the content here so was happy to look past this.

Why are you so offended that people get offended?

Do they really not see the slippery slope and implications for freedom and democracy?
It reminds me of the crusade back in the the 90s of the religious right to ban “vulgar” language in popular music. Except today it’s the artists and musicians actually banning themselves over words as benign as “muff”.

It’s quite despicable that the name was changed against the late creator’s wishes. How very shameful to disrespect the wishes of the dead like this.

You might want to learn how to read if you thought this was a ‘gotcha’. Y i k e s. You have some real issues my friend, reading through this comment thread you seem to get so upset over something so trivial I truly worry for you.

If you think a name change of a forum is comparable to fascism I highly urge you to seek mental guidance. That’s a truly worrying thought and despite it having no base in reality whatsoever, I can imagine if you think like that the world must be truly scary for you. Find help, you can get better.

What the fuck is wrong with you if you’re wishing on sexist things to happen? Maybe time to look into the mirror and find out where all your bigotry and sexism coming from, you have a long way to go.

No one cancelled words, ideologies ‘and other things’ though, so your point is kind of moot (And shit human, if you truly think a site owner changing its name to appeal to more visitors has -anything- to do with fascism)

You’re saying that it’s more reasonable for you to sever all your relationships than it is for a forum to change its name.

I woulda’ preferred the term PussyMuffler, for obvious reasons.

Why are some of you always thinking that people who go against cancel culture are Trump fans or even slightly right leaning? As if every person that voted for Trump is right leaning or a racist in the first place. By spreading clear nonsense you only show how silly and uninformed you really are. All you do is spreading false propaganda and try to silence others that are mature enough for a debate by calling them names. You got zero proof that anything of what you say is true.

Here is some knowledge for you:
I know i’m not a fan of Trump as I’m not a fan of any politician. (maybe Bernie a tiny bit)
Maybe I’m a racist cause my girlfriend is black and so are some of my friends? Yeah that must be it. LOL

Or maybe its you that’s been brainwashed? 😉

You have a good point. Mod Wiggler does sound like someone is doing something inappropriate to one of the forum moderators!
