Name change? #1

Closed GraemeLion closed 10 years ago

This name seems unprofessional. Can we consider changing it to something a little less antagonistic?

The name should be changed. I feel it's more a matter of poor timing and projects receiving cutesy names when they're developed. I don't believe the original user who created this for Weasyl intended to be insulting with the name-- it's simply a very obvious rhythmic choice. Typically when one hears "fender" they go straight to "bender" in their head. I don't feel the user meant any ill-will by it. Nonetheless, as the project was brought into the spotlight with said poor timing, making the name appear to be an insult toward the site it scrapes, I feel a name change should at least occur, as not to maintain the antagonistic perception created by its contextual revealing.
