User:JohnHawkinsBois

JohnHawkinsBois is familiar with the racist and bigoted 16th century English admiral and an overall information junkie. His curiosity often gets the best of him and sucks him into Wikipedia for hours and hours on end.



Why John Hawkins?
Good question! Honestly, I made this account before I realized that John Hawkins was a slave trader and overall piece of crap. The origin of this username was an inside joke between myself and a friend. We used to play Civilization V hotseat. As any good Civ V player knows, a Great Admiral is pretty much useless aside from providing a small combat bonus to the surrounding navy. So during times of peace, I utilized my Great Admiral, named John Hawkins, to explore the map. The legend of John Hawkins, Explorer Extraordinaire, slowly evolved as the hotseat session went on. At the game's conclusion, I felt that I could not simply let the legend die. So here we are: I browse and edit Wikipedia with a username that invokes a racist and a bigot. Too late to go back now :(
