Well, at least no one's accusing the name of being offensive this time.
But the last thread is right. If the name isn't confusing anyone than it doesn't matter that it sounds too specific.

I support the changing of the name. No need to mention China there.
Instead, I have learned a horrible truth of existence...some stories have no meaning.

With over 1000 inbounds, we need a better reason to rename than saving people potholing it. You haven't provided any evidence that this name is broken.

The name Banned in China makes it seem as if the examples are only for literal bannination in China. Many people get around this by potholing it as "Banned in [name of country]".
If we have to pothole it so much, then maybe the name needs a change.
