Petition for Disney to change Kifaji's Name Back


Petition for Disney to change Kifaji's Name Back
The Issue
Okay, so this may seem like a silly petition but it frustrates me to no end that the devs have changed Kifaji's name in the EN server to Neji. Like... It makes absolutely no sense.
I noticed that some in the fandom believe it's due to the fact that Kifaji's name means 'food' in Swahili and they don't want to trigger people.
If that was the case, then it makes even less sense as Grim is constantly eating, the game characters are constantly with food or talking about food, and we have the Culinary Crucibles.
So it just doesn't make sense.
And everyone who writes fanfiction uses Kifaji anyway and many of those in the fandom have, like me, decided he's still Kifaji to us anyway.
So I don't know if this will make a lick of difference but once we get the signatures needed, I'll be sending this off to the support email and hopefully they'll fix this.
They did my man Kifaji a huge disservice by renaming him, in my opinion, because—as I've said—to most of us he's still and will always be Kifaji.
Thank you for taking the time to read this petition and sign. Please share with those in your life and on your various social medias where you interact with the fandom to get the word out about this petition.
