Purely coincidental name similarities?

I've noticed that alot of users have names to do with Warriors. Is it purely coincidental that most Scratch users have creepily similar interests, or do they make new accounts with those names?

EDIT: Trying to keep the mods happy.  smile  Sorry if it seemed to direct or mean.

I don't really think the Warriors is a bad series.

That goes for both of us. But, she could have picked a few less characters to use, not given descriptions of each and everyone, etc.

There was so many of them, memorizing them is a waste of my brain that is currently fictional cat name free.

Re: Purely coincidental name similarities?

Like you said, that's your opinion. I don't like Warriors either (nor do I understand why people create so many fan-characters), but people just like it, I guess.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

You said it!
I think that the books are pretty bad, and ...strange, but people just like creating their fanon. Simply look how many Tokis and Hamsters there are on the site.

While you may not enjoy the 'Warriors' series, is is still liked by many others, so it is rather disrespectful to call the 'Warriors' series "the worst books, ever" and those that use 'Warrior'-based names as having 'bad taste'.  sad

Keep in mind that people have their different opinions, likes and dislikes - while we are free to share our opinions, please do so in a way that is respectful to others.  smile

Re: Purely coincidental name similarities?

Id never heard of it before i noticed it on the scratch website, its a wierd idea, talking cats wouldn't have been my first choice in book series. I dont  not like it, but i wouldn;t want to read it. I like cats. http://bestanimations.com/animals/mammals/Cats/Cat-03-june.gif

People have different interests and different tastes and it's important to learn to respect that.  Just because someone's choices differ from yours doesn't necessarily make their taste "bad" - just different.  For instance,  I absolutely detest tomatoes - and that goes for the soup as well.  But I recognize that many people love the stuff and I respect your right to enjoy that name.  I think it's a great name.  But I still don't care for the soup  smile

I get people who dont like me because i have long hair (Im a guy) But thats just because i like having it like that, i started growing it so i could have it in a ponytail, because i think its cool. I still get people who pull it and call be a girl, but i dont actualy care what they think, its only their opinion.

I dont't like the soup, or tomatoes, it just sounds awesome.

And I like how the mods are completely not noticing that, "In other words, it's just an opinion, " at the bottom.

I've noticed it, but it is disrespectful to direct hate towards another Scratch simply for liking something else that you do not like.

Re: Purely coincidental name similarities?

I used to love the Warriors series a lot, because I have every book in the series, but now I have been reading what few Science Fiction that aren't only mainly focused on an Adult audience. Every now and then, I'll find one of my favorites, Post Apocalyptic fiction, that wasn't made for an Adult audience, and I"ll enjoy reading it for several hours.

I prefer fantasy, but iv read several science fiction, but iv not found and that aren't written for adults, that are any good.

I think it's purely coincidental. The name similarities of two characters from different series that play the same part.

Lloyd is in Black Cat, and Obito is in Naruto. They both give an eye to their friend after sacrificing themselves to save the friend. And their eyes both have special powers.
