I think while we are at it, we should also focus on other pedals that have problematic names - sexual or otherwise.
BBE Two-Timer
EQD Warden - kind of insensitive to the incarcerated. Especially with how many people are incarcerated today.
Line 6 DL-4 - I think the name speaks for itself.
Whut.
Insensitive to the incarcerated? LOL!!! If they are incarcerated because they committed a crime that they deserve to be there for, how in the heck is that insensitive? I mean, come on now. That's reaching a tad.
Also, have zero clue what DL-4 means and I don't understand why Two Timer is a bad name.
I'm more offended by the JHS Bonsai pedal because a Tubescreamer doesn't bring me any kind of peace and that's what I think of when I think of a Bonsai tree.

What about people who're wrongly imprisoned?

Hard to tell who is being serious about what these days. People get stuff that doesn't make sense to me all the time. So, I cannot determine intent from words written on a forum, just like I hate text messaging. Thanks for pointing that out JR.
Chank, I do have a heart for that stuff even though I know you're not being completely serious.

I think we also need to be able to take a step back and realize the Metasonix iCunt is something beyond criticism.

Metasonix is beyond tasteless
(thanks for reminding me about them btw
)
and I hesitate to even comment on them, because I'm sure they get a nice laugh every time they read someone's disgust.

So tacky. Part of me still wants a Metasonix drum machine but I'd rather be more effective with that money...as none of the stuff is cheap. Just tacky.

I have to admit I didn't take time to check out this band or toneprint but... on paper this band sounds like scum and thus makes TC scummy and I love y'all but I'd be embarrassed if I was defending them.

As if the name of the preset didn’t broadcast its intended audience, the description on TC Electronic’s website left nothing to the imagination:
Wanna make a physical impact on your audiences, with an epic delay tone? Then Satchel’s got you covered! When we met up with Steel Panther’s oh-so-humble guitarist, he had only one condition: that the tone be as wet as the ladies on the front row! With “Pussy Melter” that’s exactly what you get: a delay tone, which perfectly nails that heavy metal lead tone, whilst simultaneously ensuring that the janitor ain’t going home early! So if glam rock guitar solos and wet floor signs are your idea of a good time, then “Pussy Melter” for Flashback Delay is definitely the TonePrint for you!
The funny thing is, Steel Panther doesn’t necessarily think of itself as a parody act. “The label of being a parody band is not something we put on ourselves,” lead singer Michael Starr told L.A. Weekly two years ago, adding that the guys “just truly sing about shit that makes us laugh.” Oftentimes this means taking cheap shots at women and minorities. Sample lyrics from their song “Asian Hooker”: “Find a geisha girl/Take her for a whirl/Wrap a tuna roll on my dick/And the bitch is on her knees/Sucky fucky/Sucky fucky/Sucky fucky/Smells like sushi.”

Agreed. Funny how that works...although it also sounds like she's the kind of person you 'forget' to invite when there's a party or anything fun planned.

Also agreed, but ironically funny for being unironically absurd and way too serious.

Nah. Everyone who isn't a sexist shitbag would probably find her to be a joy to be around. If you are a creep, though, you think anyone who calls you are your shit is no fun.
