We sincerely hope Chess.com is trolling with this one, but given the current state of the world and culture, we're not going to hold our breath.

A couple of days ago, they posted a request for new names for the chess piece that's been called a 'bishop' since time immemorial.

Really?

This screams of woke anti-religious sentiment.

It sure is.

The ratio is epic.

Lots of this thinking going around.

Might have to stage a boycott.

This is some great satire. Well done.

Those are the only acceptable alternatives to 'bishop.'

Chess.com knows they touched the third rail:

It is not a silly name.

It will always be a bishop.

Yes, it does.

If universal outrage was his goal, he accomplished it.

The insult is the point.
