Some time last year I had a bizarrely vivid dream about blogging through the aftermath of a post blowing up about how Skadi’s name was, in the dream, an ethnic slur for a group of Northern European/Icelandic (it wasn’t clear in the dream) indigenous people. (She’s actually named after the Norse goddess Skaði). The rest of the dream involved all the various responses to the post, like the people who defended the name and wanted to keep using it, the people who tried coming up with alternate names for her and then argued with each other over which name should be the one everyone uses, and the people who saw it as justification to harass everyone who ever referred to her by name and posted in the tag for her name. The defenders were rancid, the alt name debates got really heated, and the harassers ended up driving a ton of fan artists who don’t speak English off the website who were getting harassed but didn’t know why. There was all sorts of discourse about whether or not we should even talk about her anymore even though it was only her name, not her design, that was offensive. Some people tried to get the devs to change her name but never got a response. The entire time I was sitting there feeling bad for having used it and thinking “Hey, why the fuck did they name her that???”
When I woke up, i felt stressed and tired having dreamt about tumblr discourse. I went looked up what her name meant to make sure that was just in the dream, and then posted about it like I do for most of my weird dreams. I didn’t expect anyone to respond. Instead I had a number of replies telling me that most of that actually happened/happens every once in a while, and that my subconscious just picked the wrong character.
Hey, why the fuck did they name Miss Saluzzo that?
