Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fenes" data-source="post: 4373897" data-attributes="member: 604">I think you missed my earlier reply: It is only reasonable to act as if said thing is indeed stupid if you actually want something from those people, like selling them a product.If you want to sell a song of a given style to people who like that style, it would not be reasonable to consider it a stupid song just beacause some people consider it stupid. It's called "know your target audience".And if there are already other songs who fit the taste of those people better, trying to change your song into something similar, but not as fitting, would be downright stupid - it would turn off your original target audience, and not gain you many new customers, since your product still wouldn't fit their taste very well.Or in other words: KoK appeals to their target audience exactly because they have a streamlined, inherently logical product with names that do sound like they could have formed "naturally" in those regions. Changning those names to "whatever sounds kewl" might turn the current buyers off, and given the other areas of the setting, still not bring in more of the "I want kewl names" crowd.Is this clear now? We can go into ice cream and pizza examples, if needed, to avoid the political examples.Since you have issues with KoK names, I think you have issues with other "strange" names as well. I am willing to be convinced otherwise, but your insistance that some names are stupid just for not sounding right to you makes me doubt the success of this.</blockquote>
