Xenophobia towards Anamélia
 

Why is it okay for people on the forums to make fun of her beautiful Brazilian name how they do? I think it's a bit offensive and shouldn't be allowed. Some other people in the series have quite unique names too, but just because hers is a bit more out there people constantly think it's okay to call her by the wrong name. :nono: It's very rude and unneeded.

Time for the mods to act on this :clap1:

Thank you, I am gonna start reporting.

Who's making these comments?

I can't believe people who probably have the most basic common names in the book have the nerve to even do that

It happens a lot on here...year in and year out...it's childish and disrespectful.

But it's not fair to just pull it up on your faves when who people have been doing it to other housemates

I haven't seen anyone doing it to other housemates. :conf:

I've seen people say Isick and LEWIS gross and I don't even like them

For goodness sake! , why is Ana so different to other housemates who's names get mocked !! :bored: .

I haven't seen her name mocked , she chants her own name in the house ! .

I am talking about on the forums, not in the house, that's a different kettle of fish. She seems to have had to anglicise her name because she is used to people not making an effort.

Well I haven't. :shrug: I have seen some people butcher her name every time they mention her.

And as I said I haven't seen her name mocked on here , BUT housemates get their names mispelt all the time on here .

I cian believe that we still have people wanting to mock foreign names in 2018.:bored:

Anamelia isn't that hard to spell so it's noticeable when people are deliberately changing it I suppose.

Autocorrect changes it for people maybe?? . Why does Ana get special treatment ?? .
Other housemates get their name spelt wrong as well on here ,it's not the end of the world .

In CBB people deliberately kept calling Jermaine Jerome as a joke ON HERE :sleep: .

So I called Roxy Boxy seen as it became "funny" to call people the wrong names :bored: .

It happens every BB and CBB so it certainly not against her personally , and absolutely nowt to do with her being Brazilian , who cares where she comes from its her personality that matters.

Tbh it doesn't really bother me, I'd be a hypocrite to call out people's posts on Housemates when I've been mocking about Housemates names in the past myself.

It's double standards, nobody cared when Jermaine was called Jerome on here :notimpressed: . so I decided to say Boxy instead :hee: .

I quite like Boxy.:laugh:

Mad as a Box of frogs.

If you are on about the pathetic nicknames, it happens every damn year. Though of course its childish.

I'm going to start banning people for getting my name wrong too :oh:

TBH it is a bit xenophobic though IF people are doing it on purpose to point out that the name is unusual. If it's a genuine mistake then :shrug:.

I have 'christened' her 'Anamaniac' but that is ALL to do with her erratic behaviour and NOTHING to do with the fact that her name has Brazilan origins.

Similarly, I christened Roxanne Pallett 'Pallett The Mallett' and have probably mis-named other HM's in the past too, though I can not remember.

It is not that important to me, sorry.
