Yes this. The hypocrisy of the gatekeepers is infuriating. Let’s not forget that almost all popular games are mass murder simulators. One of the most popular kids games is a dog fighting game.

Now, I’m not advocating to remove those. I like games, but let’s not pretend that somehow calling an app after a molecule is worse.

Can you even call something “Arsenic”?

I'm calling dibs on the dating app named chloroform, chloroform-e, and chloroforme.

Rohypnol is another possible name for a social app or something you use for late night shopping.

I posit that it is capriciousness, not hypocrisy.
