You'll get complaints no matter what. 16 years ago I created a website for a large insurance company. When a customer signed up for policyholder functions it generated a random password for the person to use initially in the format of consonant, vowel, vowel, consonant then four numbers.
We got a nasty email from someone who got the password DUUD7573. They were insulted as a pre-operative transsexual that we were calling them a "dude" and that we must've known they were a transsexual.
- MichaelGG 11y agoOn his blog, Raymond Chen mentions how Windows' random choice of user pic offended some people. Apparently some Asian user got the karate pic, and decided it was picked on purpose for him, instead of at random. The best way to handle this is say "No, it's at random." and let people un-offend themselves.
