  Unless your name is AryanWarrior1488 I doubt anyone would bat an eye.

    Yeah, it’s the nature of dog whistles but 88 is the only one I remember. Even so I’d probably assume birth year and think nothing of it, but I understand the concern.

      Yeah, it’s totally understandable to be worried, in general. It’s not exactly ideal to be perceived as a racist.

  People were born in '88, unless someone’s throwing up other red flags that alone doesn’t raise suspicion

    People were also born on the 14th in '88. Any of 'em who have sense don’t put that in their username though, at least for very long.

      If your brother didn’t also include the month then it is pretty sus.

      If they did include their entire birth date, then they clearly didn’t understand the rules of the internet.

        No, he had sense to not ever include any of it from the get-go. Plenty of websites and services suggested he include 88 in his username though.

  I was thinking it would make a great book title for a novel about an underground cult of Voodoo practicing Nazis.

    The Loa aren’t going to be providing a gateway to Nazis. Those folks have their own gods

        Did I mess that up? It’s been decades since I studied Voudon.
