I'm not a native english speaker. Totally didn't occur to me. My tongue somehow rolled like "zoo-note" to my mind at the time lol

  I am a native English speaker and it has taken me reading all these comments about the name and a Google search to figure out people are equating joo with Jew. I still don't get what the issue is...

    I'm a native English speaker and it's the literal first thing I thought of when I read the name. > I still don't get what the issue is... The word "jew" (as a verb) has roots in stereotypes about Jewish people and money; it's an ethnic slur. The word "jew" (instead of "a Jew" or "Jewish") is a dismissive insult. The word itself isn't inherently offensive, but it's often weaponized in English, which is why it has a lot of historical baggage that makes people very wary when they see it.

      Thanks. After searching I thought it might be that but wasn't sure because it seemed so ridiculous. It certainly wasn't my goto when I read it, but the fact it was for some people might suggest the developer should change it, if only for the fact that it might put off potential customers. What a weird world we live in.

        Yeah I might just have to change it and embrace the repercussion from that...
