Having a regretful username is something I experienced too.
Back in the late 90s, I used the nickname my girlfriend at the time gave me: "loverboy" (We were both 80s music fans, etc)
It turns out that was something very NAMBLA-y
When I discovered the issue, quickly switched it all over to my current username.
Only to have to do it all again when some dude from Staten Island named Mikey is poped
That may be me, too. I'm from Long Island, named Michael, and technically a pope in the Discordian belief system.
I'm just shocked that more people haven't taken my specific username. I only encountered in twice. Once with steam, and once with twitter.
Discordian? You mean you base your belief system on the books of Terry Pratchett? 😉
It's a belief system with the "holy book" being The Principia Discordia
It was written in 1957 by Greg Hill (Malaclypse the Younger) and Kerry Thornley (Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst).
For the most part, it describes a Discordian's relationship with society, Eris, and a Discordian's relationship with Eris. It also covers the basics of the POEE denomination of Discordianism.
While it comes off as satirical, absurdist, and insane, a lot of people use the meaning behind the satire to find meaning in life.
Some of the most important teachings involve seeing that life is 100% about perspective. Where everything can be right, even the wrong things depending on the perspective of the individual. So that can mean that all religions are simultaneously right and wrong at the same time.
A lot of Chaosists, like myself, also use Eris as a godhead of our belief systems as Chaos can be seen as the ultimate constructive and destructive force.
