That's how I looked at it, at first.
But a couple potential users that I saw turned away by the name, were good ones.
I don't think it is because they find it offensive, I think some see it as silly or immature.
This mirrors my own thinking regarding the name too.
It reminds me of when you're, like, 11, and you want to be an edgelord and use bad words, but not actually get in trouble for using bad words, so you make up your own new word that's spelled different.
I do understand the desire to create a name that sounds like a thing (Reddit, Voat), but those are basically neutral words that don't carry connotations with them; at least not negative ones. Phuks does, as the spelling and sound of it makes you immediately go to a expletive in your mind, which just doesn't carry a good vibe with me.
My point and feelings still stand. If you can't look past a simple pun and even enjoy it a little because your "adulting" duties are too far up your ass, please stay on rEddit and voat. Do we REALLY want people who find offense or find it immature in the word Phuks, here? I'm not saying don't change the name if the community here wants that. I am saying don't change it so snowflakes are less offended and more opt to make this a home.
The people I invited were not offended. It's just... I dunno. Almost feels immature.
Oh I didn't mean because it sounds like fuck. I meant using it in sentences feels awkward, because of the trailing s or the ph I think.
Do we want people who are offended by a simple ass word that sounds like fuck? I do not... If people are offended by that, imagine all the other drama and bullshit that offends them.
