Please reconsider langage discrimination in name changes
There has been a lot of uproar about removing discriminators and removing uppercase letters from username. I'm neutral in that regard but am imploring you to reconsider an aspect I feel very strongly about.
Please continue to allow usernames in all writing systems. Discord is a global platform. Not all users of Discord speak languages that use the Latin alphabet. Not all users of Discord have a real life name and/or online name that is normally written with the Latin alphabet. It is demeaning to force people to use the wrong alphabet to identify themselves. I get that many platforms use only the Latin alphabet because for historical reasons the backbone of the internet makes it technically challenging to support other writing systems. However that is hardly the case for Discord. You are choosing to take a step backwards and exclude non-English speakers for no reason other bigotry.

They're literally ruining Discord for anyone who doesn't primarily use English. user expression is HARMED by this change, not aided!

personally I think that the usernames should NOT be case sensitive but they definately should allow other characters
