Over the course of his 75-day ban (or "vacation" from OWOT), Lemuria developed a keen interest in the South African city [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gqeberha Gqeberha], specifically it's former name "Port Elizabeth".

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.

The beauty of the name and the memory of Elizabeth Frances Markham needs to be preserved. | |||

Andrei has stated that Lemuria's message is eerily similar to fascist/nationalist ideologies regarding the pseudoscientific "aryan" race (especially the "fourteen words"), but this would not make sense considering that Lemuria is southeast Asian which would not fit into Nazi racist ideals. | |||
