Yeah, but easily offended people can easily not enjoy Connecticuts--er, CTs. Being an easily offended person, a custom title taken personally can be compared to Puritanism and Communism, as shown in the following:
In The Scarlet Letter, a Puritan woman who commited adultery must wear a red letter "A" to remind her and everyone of her sin, and therefore she is judged by all. Because adultery has negative connotations, one with a custom title expressing a negative aspect of himself may therefore be constantly aware of his faults and everyone's easy accessibility to judgement that person.
With Communism, excessive paranoia of treasonous citizens resulted in persons spying and telling on other citizens. The accusers received benefits, while the accused were punished for treason. Because of the threat of other citizens, a communist would have to keep his head down and his mouth shut in order to avoid persecution by his neighbors. Similarly, custom titles usually result from one's behavior or personality and therefore one must lie low in order to avoid the punishment of being publicly deemed as a person with ill behavior or qualities.
However, two differences between those topics and custom titles are that for one, custom titles often may infer no such ill behavior and may refer to some other aspect of a person, and therefore may not be as putrid in effect. Secondly, the downside is that custom titles usually remain after one may have changed his behavior or crudeness that led him to receive the custom title in the first place, therefore allowing his previous reputation to precede him unfairly. Supposedly if one brought up a good case against his custom title, it seems like it could then be removed. However, often a custom title may be seemingly inoffensive while the user will take offense due to self-esteem, emotional instability, or most commonly their dignity, and in such cases the user will either have to deal with his label, or continue to react until he gets results. However, taking constant actions will usually result in more negative results, such as a worse custom title that points out their obstinancy or whining, and so one must be careful to question how offensive their custom title really is. If internal agony persists, then the problem should probably be raised if it cannot be avoided. Or bribery would probably get results. Ultimately, one will suffer if they are overly self-conscious, and one should seek reassurance in the fact that custom titles get old fast and sink into a bland state of ordinariness.
One who gives custom titles is not always at fault if the custom title offends, since he or she can't really tell before the person receives it. However, if one gives someone a custom title on the sole basis that the person had previously expressed a distate for such a custom title, and had no other affiliation with such a title, then the person who gives the custom title is a cruel malevolent jerk who ought to reexamine their morals of human decency, because their intent was to cause the person pain rather than give a more apt or logical title that in some way relates to an aspect of the person.
Rude titles should only be given as warnings in relation to the person's conduct, especially if that person has been previously warned and still continues to act distastefully. Then it would be the fault of the person who receives the title for not altering their conduct after such warnings.
