It seems like they're talking about making up a fake name for yourself? Not calling yourself by the name of a pre-existing character? Those seem like distinct things to me

Even if that's not the case, what difference does the origin of your handle make?

Like... seriously. Does it matter where it's from? Does you using a Japanese or Korean name/word automatically make it worse than using a Finnish or Spanish name (assuming you're not Finnish or Spannish, obviously)?

Who even caaaaaares.

I think there are probably times where it's weird and exoticizing and othering, or claiming some kind of an identity, and I think that's a lot more likely with Asian cultures than with Spanish ones, and I think it's at best silly and often kind of shitty. I don't think it's intrinsically racist but it's a high risk category.
