hello there i think that "rimworld" should be changed to "jim's world" as there are many people in the world named "jim" and the word "rim" has sexual connotations that thus make this game inappropriate for children. the fact that it is not "jim's world" is very discriminatory towards people that are named jim or james.
thx
Is this some half-assed attempt at trolling?
more like a quarter
this is serious
Nah.

My friends who don't play Rimworld call it World of Rimming and assume it's some kind of erotic theme park management game.
I played and modded the game for months without even once thinking of the name's possible sexual connotations. I just immediately accepted that a rimworld was a world on the outer rim of explored space; it made intrinsic sense, and I never worried about it beyond that. It wasn't until I happened upon a reference to the "RimJobWorld" mod that it dawned on me that there was a possible NSFW connotation to the name.
Does that make me cluelessly naive? ;)
Nah you are just normal and not some sexually deficient incel.

I don't think incels are either giving or receiving many rimmings. A priori, they are not.
Unless they're *way* too flexible.
I see your point, but "Jim's World" doesn't really give off the vibe I think they're going for.
You're on the edge of known space, so maybe instead how about EDGING?

World of Edging?
A honest analogy would be "Edge World", and then making a fuss about it obviously referring to edging.
I say we just call it Star Craft 3 and crowd-fund the money needed for legal fees.

It does have map edges, so I think this description is 100% true.
Edgy World
Jim's World?
Nah too generic.
Rim Planet or just
Rimworld Sounds better in my ears.

Edgy World
What about
Edgeworld or
Edge of the Universe? I'm not that good with making up titles :P
rimworld is fine :).
EdgeLord World
WorldWorldWorld II: Electric World Subarashii!
"ZimWorld." With, obviously, GIR, Dib and Gaz as replacement storytellers.
(Is it sad that I really want to reskin the storytellers, now?)
A high amount of sexual innuendo correlations in things which have zero sexual innuendos is a signal of anxiety. I'd say this can be safely related to pathological levels.

Heh heh. You said "In Your Endo."
Seriously, of all of the MANY reasons this game is "inappropriate for children," the NAME is the one you settle on complaining about?
I'm just sitting here in my human leather clothes, hanging out in my torture/part-harvest prison snorting flake in awe of your decision.

But nobody thinks about Tim. What if Tim plays Rimworld, and it's called Jim's world, not Tim's world?
Think about the moral implications before you suggest things

This is a well reasoned proposal.

I like how game allows me to butcher gays, then turn them into fuel, then into energy. But my colonies never execute prisoners even if some turns out to be gays. I train surgery on prisoners by installing/removing peg legs but only if a man already has a peg leg or got his leg shoot off during fight. If a man got into my cell it's a guaranty to be alive, he'll end up as a colonist or will be sold.
And I thought I was plumbing the depths of depravity by raising dogs on frozen human corpses and then butchering them for meat...
