Should the name Nazi be added to the Denied Names list, banning it from Decentraland?

Description

I believe this name is controversial especially for alot of jews, this can be considered very insulting to some of our community members.

I will leave the votes up to the community!

This is a tough one…Free Speech vs. Anti-Semitism

While I do support free speech, there are SOME names that should be banned for hatred reasons. But this one is borderline IMO. For example, someone could want the name SoupNazi as a joke in loving tribute to the popular TV skit…should that be banned as well?

Isn’t it better to know who your enemies are, have them self label as Nazi, save you the trouble of judging them…haha

We must also remember that those who erase history are doomed to repeat it. We cannot white wash history out of fear of offending someone, there needs to be a remembrance so future generations do not commit the same atrocities.

Therefore, I will have to vote NO on this one particular name ban.
