Well, the meaning of the old name wasn't "Russia is shit" but rather "Poop that comes from Russia".

I know, pretty difficult, but I guess it was too offensive.
Fun Fact: I use the name LordKofu (or just Kofu) since I bought Minecraft back then. I thought to myself: 'Well, the internet loves Japan' and so I translated "mine worker" into Japanese and the result was Kofu. The Lord prefix came from a youtuber called LordPeter.
