Lemuria: Difference between revisions

During the course of his 75-day ban (or "vacation" from OWOT), Lemuria developed a keen interest in the South African city of [https://wplace.live/?lat=-34.05928545586988&lng=25.51086880927733&zoom=13.038523805848415 Port Elizabeth], renamed "Gqeberha" in 2021. "Port Elizabeth" started as a simple interest, but by mid-October, Lemuria had began to use the city to intentionally aggravate users, sending the name "Port Elizabeth" in chat and canvas unprompted without context or correlation to ongoing conversations. This is consistent with his prior baiting behaviors.

Lemuria feels extreme disdain towards Port Elizabeth's name change to Gqeberha, believing that "Elizabeth" is a "beautiful name" that must be preserved on the map. D9eoead and other users argued that the name "Port Elizabeth" was a remnant of imperialism and apartheid that should be erased, but Lemuria disagreed with this, believing the name change to be a completely pointless and ineffective measure. Lemuria further argued that the name could be separated from its imperialist roots, but Fern and d9eoead believed otherwise, the latter stating that it is necessary to abandon the name in the effort to completely erase imperialism and colonialism. Lemuria later stated in early December that he supports colonialism.
