Noob Mapper :)

It's a name/alias for a difficulty on a mapset. It's not like Val0108' 0108 style, or elchxyrlia's Arles style, where the names are a genuine identity, or reference to mapping styles, and are a part of the maps themselves. Looking through your entire, or most, of your ranked maps, from when you were Blue Dragon to now. What I observed was that when you do use "Gangsta", it is in maps such as Pensamento, and Worldwide Choppers. The thing is, the mapping style varies so greatly between your "Gangsta" maps that it can barely seem like they're even from the same person at times. Moreover, if protecting intellectual property was an issue, surely you would complain about content referencing "Blue Dragon", or perhaps you could have kept your pseudonym as Blue Dragon so that people who aren't mappers can potentially link you to Gangsta. I do find that the alternative difficulty names you suggested to be quite amusing, so much so that I thought your post was a joke, bacause calling something Skystar immediately brings up Skystar the mapper, whom I don't believe had any links to the diffulty, or mapset as a whole. In fact, that's even worse than using Gangsta since it's actually pretty misleading. If we assume that you use Gangsta for the same genre of music as Pensamento and stuff, all you do is create a link between the Difficulty name, and the genre of music. I'm no musical genius or fan of trash songs such as Despacito, but I'm confident that it does fit much of the Criteria produced by existing Gangsta maps. In short, it's a name for a difficulty for a map on osu, it's nothing that should be used as a threat just because 'I did it first so anyone else who uses it are plagiarising'. If it was like Arles, Lesjuh or 0108 difficulty cloning I may have had an issue - we still see Arles styles from other people without elchxyrlia complaining, do they?
