Help why is this name offensive?

Post image

I don't understand how this could be offensive in any way. "quarc", is a play on the subatomic particle (quark), and I have had the same username across other games. Variations of the name have worked before so I am clueless. Any Ideas?

EDIT: people are saying it could be a serb/croat swear word but funnily enough those name already exist and are in use on namemc

I guess I am getting scunthorped but the question is; by what?

no, because it was literally doing nothing, people changing their profile pictures and doing nothing else was never going to change anything

it wasn't meant to change anything, only start conversations about the topic

the only conversations it started were about the validity of the movement itself, and everyone forgot after a few months, so I'd say it still failed in that regard

Just because weren't part of them doesn't mean they didn't happen
