After having discussed the matter with Sora and Morgan I completely understand where they're coming from. Seemingly it is a legitimately offensive word where they come from and it has actually been going on for weeks now. According to Sora users keep coming to him asking why their name was allowed.
It made me realize exactly why they took such offense to the word and why they came to that particular conclusion, which is why I fully support that choice at this point.
