it’s actually called synthethica guys, rookie mistake

I mean I get that Tom’s just joking around and wasn’t aiming to be insensitive (and lordy knows thinking of him as Yasiin has been a weird transition for me as much as for the next guy!), but I think the objection here is towards the condescension in implying that a name change made on sincere religious grounds is some sort of whim or lark, like “aw how cute, he wants us to call him Yasiin now, isn’t that precious?” I don’t think that’s what Tom was going for but it’s just a tad too easy to interpret it that way IMO.
