    You’re working off some random definition he found on some bullshit name site to argue why he should not just ignore the family that made the name famous, but take it away from them. Let’s not pretend like you’re not using “AIPAC Shakur” as a loose Tupac reference.

    And now you’re likening being against this to somehow also thinking referring to codifying fictional character must mean it’s an insult to all people named Tom? You know that’s not an equivalent situation.

    It’s possible to be personally offended by someone being so fucking obtuse and neckbeardy about justifying a shitty thing they said. Your amorality is not a good enough defense, and it’s downright stupid to not consider how trying to rip away a famous name from a famous family just so you can use a racially coded insult is perfectly okay.

    It would have been infinitely more respectable if you demonstrated the capacity to take a step back and see what the mistake was rather than doubling down off the back of some stupid baby name meaning site as if it’s a legitimate source.
