Xenophobia towards Anamélia

[Jessica.]

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.

[Mystic Mock]

Who's making these comments?

[armand.kay]

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

[rusticgal]

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

[Denver]

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

[GoldHeart]

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 ! .

[Jessica.]

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.

[Jessica.]

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: .

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

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:.

[kirklancaster]

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.

To agree with Kirk

no one is making fun of her rather normal name, they are poking fun at her awful character and lack of self awareness and humour and her lies

[user104658]

Well true, "Anna" and "Amelia" are pretty standard names these days, so "Anamelia" isn't exactly an "out there" or "foreign sounding" name in the first place. You should hear some of the names kids at my daughter's school have D:. It's a school full of very "well off" kids, too, and all very... erm... very very "British". Most people think it's just chavs that have started with weird names like Chardonnay these days. NOT SO at all. The rich ones are at it too. Just with things like... Constanacious... or Eughbertington...

[bots]

i think when a persons name is modified to suit their character its quite fine. Some of the more personal descriptions are where it starts to get a bit dodgy.

I don't think i've seen anyone disrespecting Anamelia for her country of origin at all :think:

[user104658]

I think there are also like 4 Amelias.

But that's a misnomer :nono: she only likes vanilla interdimensional portal sex.

Exactly :hee: I didn't see much outcry about Hardeep being called all sorts either :think: If you are going to get up in arms about something at least do it across the board

I think it's very rude to do that to someones name, that's part of her identity.

[Jessica.]

Sorry about that.

Thank you for owning up to it, to her that is only an exit though, not an entrance.

[poppsywoppsy]

Actually a lot of the names she was called did have some insight into her behaviour traits.

I cannot be concerned about someone like her who relishes upsetting others as frequently as she has done in the house.

There are a lot of others I would choose to champion or feel sorry for before her.

[GoldHeart]

Exactly!

People thought it was funny to call Hardeep "Harcreep" :bored:
hypocrisy ! .

I just think it is very Trumpian to give someone a unique loser nickname... :smug:

[Amy Jade]

I think she has a beautiful name :shrug:

[Maru]

Probably if someone makes fun of that person's name and picks on them regularly, they probably secretively like/admire/envy that person... but in either case, it's a love-hate dynamic... I tend to think of it as a compliment. At least that's how I feel about it anyway... people are paying attention because apparently they are very interesting to them... enough they've made "alternative" caricatures of them in their heads... that's pretty significant.

[Jessica.]

I think she has a beautiful name :shrug:

Me too, it's gorgeous and unique, even for people who speak Portuguese.

[GoldHeart]

Yeah we mustn't make fun of precious Anamelia's name :sleep:

Yet it's ok to call Hardeep "Hacreep" OKEY DOKEY !! :whistle: .

I have never called him that or seen someone call him that. :shrug:

I don't even think her name is difficult to pronounce
anne and amelia but combined, hardly difficult to say?

Hardeep was called " Harcreep" alot on here but nevermind :sleep:

Hardeep wasn't called a creep because of his ethnicity or place of birth though was he? It was because he sexually harrased an innocent woman.

[bots]

Hardeep wasn't called a creep because of his ethnicity or place of birth though was he? It was because he sexually harrased an innocent woman.

genuine question, when has anyone targeted Anamelia for her ethnicity on this forum, i have only ever seen people complain about her ridiculous behaviour.

Could you please provide examples

Perhaps this question could be asked to the OP who has branded it as such?

You're literally grasping at straws! :sleep:

When was Anamelia insulted for her brazilian background?? did i miss something? :bored:

you'll have a long wait as people are grasping at straws , they can't accept that people just dislike Anamelia because of her attitude and personality :joker: :facepalm: .

How am I grasping at straws?

You said Hardeep was called a creep and I told you why. People tend to find those who sexually harrass creepy.

Not straws needed.

But you said Anamelia was made fun of due to her background? :conf: but she hasn't been :facepalm: . There's people that just dislike her as a person .

Therefore she's not the only person who's name has been tampered with , i used Hardeep as an example and whatever you think of him his name was still mocked . So it can't be ok to mock his name and wrong to mock Anamelia's that's just hypocrisy in my eyes .

[Matthew.]

i think anamelia’s a lovely name

Stop ranting for a second and point out where I accused anyone of xenophobia. Or you know just ignore it and carry on making irrelevant accusations like per.

[GoldHeart]

That's what this thread is about , and i'm saying just like BOTS said where's the evidence that Anamelia was mocked for her culture or race?? :nono: :conf:

[MTVN]

Tbf you did say "Hardeep wasn't called a creep because of his ethnicity or place of birth though was he?" as if Anamelia has?

[GoldHeart]

Tbf you did say "Hardeep wasn't called a creep because of his ethnicity or place of birth though was he?" as if Anamelia has?

That's why i'm asking for proof with Anamelia

[Amy Jade]

Tbf you did say "Hardeep wasn't called a creep because of his ethnicity or place of birth though was he?" as if Anamelia has?

Because the OP is about xenophobia and the discussion seemed to insinuate something more underlying to Hardeep being called a creep.
