[QUOTE="Rystefn, post: 9248532, member: 7043460"] There is no issue of consent here. 1) If she had a problem with it, she had every opportunity to say so, and never did. Instead, she only ever said to use "Jaquaysing" instead. 2) We use people's names without their consent all the time. You simply do not need anyone's consent to use their name. That's not a thing. I'll bet that not a single person reading this ever questioned the use of "Wagnerian" to describe a certain kind of music or "Shakespearean" a certain kind of writing. If you claim that you have ever wondered if either of them gave consent for this kind of usage, I'll call you a liar right to your face. Also, I find the claim that naming a style of dungeon after her confusing to be laughable. Sure, you need to know something about the person and about dungeon design generally to understand the reference... but you also need to know about music and about Wagner to understand the word "Wagnerian" means, but you go right ahead and use that anyway, don't you?
