Banned for toxic name?

Hi My name is Icecoon on the NA server. I had this name for around 9 years and named it after an imaginary pokemon when I was young. A few days ago I got a message that I was banned because of an inappropriate name and that I had to name change. I find that is unfair and am also worried since I have smurfs named firecoon and etc because I thought pokemon types was cool and liked butterfly pokemon as a kid. After msging support they simply stated that I was still banned and would have to namechange but I feel my name isnt offensive.

Oh well. When people who are so racist that the first thing they think of when they see the last part of raccoon is a slur instead of the animal are in charge of the rules, you gotta abide by them.

At least you didn't get permanently banned for it.

I don't know how your name is offensive either.

As a European,what's the possible "bad word" in his name? I saw people commenting on the last part,coon? What's coon?
