I bet most people who don't frequent tumblr/reddit et al don't have the slightest idea of what "vore" is. The internet is pretty large, and humans are pretty clueless on average.

It's fair to be clueless, but not even googling a name before deciding to use it for your project is foolish.

There is _no way_ this is not deliberate.

I use RSS. I want to like RSS, but most sites want the eyes/clicks, so RSS isn't nearly as useful and pleasant as it used to me.

So the only feeds that go in my RSS reader are those that let me read at least half the article to decide if I want to continue. Others I like to visit often end up in a feeds bookmark folder.

Scant few, like itsfoss.com let you read the entire article/post anymore.

I don't see ads anyway. It'd be nice if they just added a short "please consider supporting..." or something to the feed. What really torques me is when I have a subscription but the feed still only gives me the first paragraph.

Change the name. Anyone who searches it looking for your RSS reader is going to hate you. Don’t search it (or make sure you have some kind of filtering on).

"Grr this arsehole giving me free stuff but with a funny name"

Yes, because it’s a “funny” name associated with some real “funny” stuff you can find online.

I'm sure you'll be refunded in full.
