They should have used his real name, if they don't like fucking.

Because it makes him sound like a child and therefore worthy of contempt.

> Why is he always referred to as 'Roaring Kitty' from youtube when he is undoubtedly better known as DeepFuckingValue from reddit?

Makes sense for this case. Public messaging versus publicly visible but arguably private conversation.

I think it might be even simpler than that - "Roaring Kitty" is printable in a mainstream news publication, "DeepFuckingValue" is not :)

Everyone can just do DeepF**ingValue if that’s the issue

I would imagine he would appear under his real name. It would be weird to hear his username in Congress, especially when there are no longer concerns about anonymity now that his name is publicized.
