Why I Changed My Name

[brotherandbassist]

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I just wanted to let you guys know that the reason I changed my name to just my real name and the year I was born was because I was doing some research and apparently the made up word lopli is only one letter off from a word in another language called loli. Apparently in some languages, loli is apparently a slang word used to describe illegal pornography. I had no idea, but because of this name being so close to whatever loli actually means, I no longer want to use the name. This also explains why I used to have a lot of harassment on my youtube channel with no context, they probably didn't see the "p" in my name. Discovering this has been embarrassing for me an I had no idea that such a word existed, but because of this I'd rather avoid my old nickname


Thanks,
Dylan

P.S,
Just to verify, the name lopli was actually auto generated. My original username was going to be "lollipop" with numbers after it. Then I came up with "lollipopoli" and the computer changed it to lopli. So I dont want people thinking the origins of said name are code or some kinda perversion. It was completely unintentional.

See, this is why you're one of my favorite people to interact with on any platform. This right here though seems so classic. You'll always be lopli in my mind Dylan, even if lopli was only autogenerated to begin with, haha. Just kidding...

Wishing you well brother, and glad you're still around the web spaces.

It's very cool that you're keeping an open mind and staying flexible, Lopli Dylan. Not saying you should always cave to outside pressure, obviously, but in this instance, many others would've stuck to their guns and used that position to provoke just for the fun of it. So kudos, brother!

if you guys could help me out even more (mod team), I'm trying to get rid of any posts I made on here before 2019. Some of the stuff I used to say.... yikes! Cancel culture is a real thing and even though some of it was as far back as when I was 12 or 13 I'd rather not get ahead in my ministry or music career and someone find old things I said.

Hey man, I respect the right to control your own data. Feel free to go back and report posts you'd like deleted, and I'll go ahead and do it.

I was able to get rid of most of it myself, I'm not worried about it anymore. I don't think its healthy to let people's opinions over you or the fake sense of control they think they have control you. That's a lot of what is wrong with the world nowadays.
