Is the item 'Mesanna's Cream Pie' really appropriate for 2016?

I saw an item in game called 'Mesanna's Cream Pie'. I think most of us are aware of what the name of that item implies and the vulgar imagery it conjures. In today's progressive world of trigger words and safe spaces, is this really appropriate??

I for one do not think so. I thinks it's offensive and undermines every UO player. I don't want to be a part of Mesanna's depraved, vicarious fantasies where all players are subjugated into witnessing her cream pie. Some things are better left for private, or a Twilight fan fiction forum. This is definitely not appropriate and has gone unchecked for way too long.

I am calling for the immediate resignation of Bonnie Armstrong and would like to see her ostracized from the UO community for the remainder of its existence.

Thank you for hearing me out.

You should quit UO immediately and run to your nearest safe space. Then do the rest of the world a favor and stay there, permenantly.

Encouraging people to quit, Merus? That's exactly the type of toxic environment Mesanna is promoting in this game, permanently.

I'm just going to assume you meant this sarcastically or are being facetious.

Surely you didn't write this with a straight face.

Considering the burnt appearence I think it is more a testament to Mesanna's cooking skill than any desire to be subversive and vulgar. Yes the name of the item appears to have been chosen a bit naively, but it definately isn't something to rage over, considering we once had human jerky in the game.

So please keep it clean, and enjoy a chuckle.

As a duly appointed representative of HECKLES (Humans, Enough Careless Killing, Let's Eat Snacks!), I would rather we complain about the appropriation of the slapstick culture.

I have no idea what vulgar imagery this item conjurers in your brain. My older, more innocent? brain sees nothing untoward. Perhaps some people just need to get their mind out of the sewer?

I definitely believe you, it may be a generational thing. But I'm not sure about that link, it was blocked by the porn filter on my work computer and I received a very strongly worded email from IT. Click at your own risk, folks. Maybe add a NSFW tag?

Link worked fine and had recipes for Banana Cream Pie, Boston Cream Pie, etc.

People these days. This soft overly protective society with safe places and hurt feelings reports. You'll be okay.

I would track down and post a link to the "That's My Pie" scene from "Revenge of the Nerds", but the content would violate Stratics rules.

Seriously; if a "cream pie" created by the person it is named for as a slapstick comedy item for throwing back and forth triggers you, you're so broken that you need help. Try enlisting, and growing a pair.

This item has reignited some personal trauma many times for me. Cady's courage to speak out against this is both heroic and righteous.

Not NSFW - it really is several recipes for desserts of the cream pie variety. The two words tripped your work obscenity filter I'm thinking.

@Petra Fyde ... I'm approaching 70 and I know what the OP is alluding to. In one context it is vulgar, yet in the every day context it is not because the desserts are yummy! This thread is fun ... we need more like it! <chuckle>

@Cady I think you hit a few nerves.
Exactly, yea, I hit a few nerves. I would never have to advocate for victim's rights if we didn't have a culture that punished victims. I can feel the sting of the dog's bite, but I'm willing to push forward against the firehose spray. I'm not going to pretend this isn't a slap in the face to people like Elster, Elster shouldn't have to cower in fear of Mesanna. Mesanna is clearly violating Rule 24 of UO's TOS and is preventing players from enjoying the game.

I did never think if it this way before your post, Who do have a dirty mind here? Why did you have to bring it up?

Until I read this post, I had no idea that the name of that item could create a "vulgar" image in anyone's mind...o.0

This being a medieval type game and talking about "off color things" .... has anyone ever listened to John Boorman's director's commentary on the Excalibur dvd? That guy comes off more than a little creepy lol Then he puts his daughter in the nude scene. He's... ummmm... very open minded lol

I was surprised they used that name also. I found out what it was from listening to Howard.

Does anyone giggle when you see the old necro reagent dead wood in the game? I do.

I clicked this link and since I work for myself , I promptly took your advice and reported myself to human resources and then promptly fired myself.
