"Ashton" Is Not Short For "A Shit Ton", Nintendo


Internet person Aston recently purchased a Nintendo 3DS and created a Mii. Aston seems to like his 3DS. Nintendo doesn’t like his name.

After entering his name, a warning screen popped up, noting that others might find the moniker “offensive”. On his friend’s 3DS, Ashton’s name is censored and replaced with question marks.

Ashton’s a fine name! It’s a fairly common surname and not unheard of as a first name. Unless somebody at Nintendo of America totally hates Ashton Kutcher, I’m surprised it’s blocked.
