As I'm sure most of you are aware, Reddit is now censoring Luigi's name entirely and have been giving out warnings and bans as they are considering it to be promoting violence. (lemmy.world)

Could I bother you for an explanation? I tried searching, there are a lot of results for the Atellan Farce/Oscan athletic games, but I feel I'm still missing context to get the reference.

Luigi comes from the Latin name Lodovicus

Mangione is Italian for "big eater" or a glutton. Manducus is Latin for glutton. Both are derived from mando, to chew.
