For context: This happened in a German speaking country.

Friend of mine thought it would be cool to have Bladesaw as a gamer tag, but he was a kid and his English wasn't great, so he spelled "saw" with German phonetics: "Bladesau".

Until he was at some gaming event where he entered some competition and was called up to the stage as "Blade Sau" (Fat pig).

I have a similar story where I thought Hades would be a nice edgy name. But everyone with a mic pronounced it Heyds. So I later changed it to Hadies and for some reason that worked

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
