    Even if it was innocent, putting 88 in your username at best makes you unoriginal and old.

    You’re half dead and you still can’t figure out a unique name that doesn’t give Nazis cover?

    Pathetic.

      Well then I’m old and unoriginal Mr Dragon type. My screen name is what it is. I gave you an explanation that I didn’t owe you in the first place and this is all the effort that I’m willing to put in. Have fun being weirdly paranoid over usernames I guess.

      step off the gas. nicknames and numbers can have entirely different cultural contexts.

      for me, i’ve never seen “juice” used to refer to jews, nor “88” being used to refer to nazis, and i’ve been on the internet a long time.

      when i see “juice”, the first thing i think of is the song by lizzo. “88” is used as a replacement for “bye bye” in cantonese lingo.

      plenty of usernames are just random word + year of birth. stop overanalyzing it and chill.

      You sound like the kind of person who would just assume Hindu temples were made by Nazis because they contained swastikas. Just because some assholes used a symbol as a dogwhistle doesn’t mean that the rest of the world should stop using it.
