Even if its not being intended in such a manner, the "daddy" joke carries certain sexual connotations, particularly of the sexual harassment flavoring and
especially for female players who have quite likely had to deal with some flavor of it IRL where it is anything
but harmless or funny.
It really does need to stop, I know you guys are plenty creative enough that you can find ways to throw shade at your gameplay rivals that doesn't leave participants and bystanders feeling uncomfortable in that sort of "creeper being creepy" sort of way.
The fact that the response to basically "Guys, seriously, this isn't funny anymore and it's really kinda creepy/uncomfortable, please stop." seems to have been so far "Lawl, deal with it." is
seriously disappointing.

Yes, to Reppy. There's no one in this day and age who is on social media of any kind who does not know that this has a sexual connotation and let's be real it's been used in a sexually connotative way in the past as well. In either context it means or implies sexuality and dominance. Not even getting into that more and more of the players involved especially in R and this game are underage. Here's another 2019 lesson about harassment -> when someone tells you repeatedly to stop behaving or referring to or attempting to contact\touch\communicate with them in a certain way and you continue to do so with complete disregard for their personal and mental space -
it is a form of harassment. This is a point I made to another person over Discord but maybe stop acting like it's whatever old Weinstein\Eppstein era where stupid creepy shit like this was considered okay or no one had any recourse to say anything because the person speaking out would be stigmatized.
It's 2019, society has attempted to make progress and called out some of the backwards actually creepy behavior. Instead of doubling down on it (which itself wasn't surprising because that has been on par for the course with those particular players defending shady and shitty behavior for some time now) just cut it out and stop making excuses for being creepy.
No on is entitled to making creepy, sexualized or sexually charged statements to others to feel good about themselves.
