Kraken Kampaign…. That’s one letter short of being a bit concerning…

Fun fact. In Finland KKK is known for "Kylmä, Koho, Kompressio" or in English, "cold, lift up, compression" for treating common sport injuries

With this being Lemmy I genuinely don't know if you're joking or not

You're serious, that's hilarious. But it's a bit more likely that it's just the "kool" spelling of those words.

Zoomies, gather around and I'll tell you a story about kool k and Mortal Kombat

Do not cite the Deep Magic to me… I was there when it was written. The inspiration for the K in MK was because they couldn’t get Combat past the legal department for the trademark. If you wanted to make an argument for “cool K,” Kris Kross did it first in March ‘92, before Mortal Kombat came out the same year in October (not to ignore the honorable mention of Ice Cube’s AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, even Monty Python did it first in a sketch.

My only point was that someone more culturally aware might perceive the risks of that name given the context of rising white supremacist violence and rhetoric in the US especially in the current and ex-military ranks.

No offense but that's sorta insane. I know how Lemmy is but this is just reaching. Normal people aren't going to think KKK when they see that Dungeons and Dragons name that has two Ks lol
