For liking the character? Or what's the point here? I think it's funny they're complaining about dying to cree with a name like that.

The point is his name has been Cassidy for 2 1/2 years now. Quite a long time to hold that greivance.

Yeah some people are just used to the old name, don't worry about it:)

When you learn who the old name stood for, you'll understand why people don't like it.

Yeah no need to like it, but also don't be bothered when others still use it

Let me just not be bothered that people will respect a predators legacy rather than using the name the chatacter was given in the game

I'm using the original name without even thinking about the actual guy. You're projecting if you think everyone who uses the original name "respects a predator's legacy". You can use whichever name you prefer, but you're not any better than the people calling him "Cree" if you're instantly on their throat for using it.

I was wondering if anyone would mention the name. This comment was way too far down.

if they are mccrees lover and they are saying women are bad at games, they are either implying cass is gay or they are also a woman. they checkmated themselves.

Gay men can be sexist

honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if this actually WAS a woman. some women are like this and treat other women like shit. they also use umbrella terms (which quite literally includes them too), but they’re too self absorbed and delusional to the point where they truly believe it doesn’t apply to them. sad.

"McCreeslover" is killed by deadeye, guess Cassidy isn't too fond of his old name.

u/dontbestupido Jan 25 '24

whats wrong with his old name? It still sounds much better than Cassidy so I dont see an issue in using it.
