My name is **************

So my name in-game… and in Steam is: l8WpnsofKungFu

The recent update seems to have added a profanity filter to names as well as chat… which is fine, however I do agree with other posts that ask for this to be optional (an option in the settings to turn profanity filter off would be great).

The problem I have is… that my name is somehow filtered now… likely because the two character string “Fu” exists in my name. The “Kung” “Fu” part of my name is a tribute to one of the most ridiculous Kung Fu Theatre movies of all time: 18 Weapons of Kung Fu

… and much less what the two letter abbreviation “fu” might stand for in the American slang. Or actually that word is pretty international at this point… but none-the-less I think filtering an entire name because of some suspicious letter might be a little much. So Devs, at your earliest convenience, please give us a little more leeway with the new profanity filter. Thanks!
