So are people offended by the name "Captain America"?

[QUOTE="gotdangit"]

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"] at one point, n***** was slang for an African American. Just because it's slang, doesn't mean it's ok to be offensive.Nibroc420

I don't know where you're from, but i've talked to people outside the States, and at least them, they refer to is as America also, they don't care. When people say America, it's usually implied meaning, the USA, do you know what that stands for. Also, don't try to pretend like our country is the only one with problems, and don't try to pretend like you know the actual problems going on here, because I'm sure you've never been here, and the only things you know are based from biased media sources.

And something else, you say you're from North America, but you don't want to be American. So have you accepted that we are American? Because if we're not American, then what else can we be called.... United States of America... ans? ins? We must be AMERICA is we are called AMERICANS, there is no other name for us!

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"][QUOTE="gotdangit"]So you're saying America is offensive? Sorry dude, or wait, that may be offensive to some people, cause it's slang. Just cause it's slang doesn't mean it IS offensive. How is America offensive at all.

It's really only something for people in North and South America to be offended by.

The majority of foreign distributors decided to utilise the Captain America name in order to take advantage of the Marvel superhero's global notoriety, but the Russian, Ukrainian and South Korean film industries have chosen to debut the film under the First Avenger title

But did they change the name in those countries because they found the title "offensive", or simply because they thought it would sell better in those countries without the "Captain America" in the name?

besides, the word that you're using, is offensive, the word we use, isn't... It's not discrimination, you even used it yourself. I'm glad to be called American, it is accepted, wtf are you talking about?

I'm just offended there isnt a Captain Mexico

I'm not offended by the name but I find it silly how people from the States refer thier home as America when in fact that whole huge land mass in the western hemisphere is technically "America". I can see how someone may be offended because they don't want to see stars and stripes representing "America".LightR

Even you called us the States, that's slang, America is slang.

Sounds to me like you are inventing people who are offended by it. I've never heard anyone complain about it.majoras_wrath

Yeah, I could be wrong, but this does seem manufactured.

People are offended by Captain America?

North America isn't the only America in the world, there's also Central America and South America.

I think this is why.

It's sad to think there are people in America who hate anything patriotic or associated with America at all.
