People instantly link it with "cas social" which is used to describe someone who hardly makes friends because he doesn't know how to interact with other people. And it's used as an insult. It's totally stupid but they end up not watching the videos.

Indeed, I see your point. However if a person is judging things like that, they may end up not being a viewer you'd want anyway. For example, my french viewers think my name is weird because "con" means some bad words but if they can't see it as something other than that then they're either judgemental or don't have an understanding of there being different languages and cultures world wide. One thing may be great some where, but can have bad meaning from another place. It only depends on how you choose to perceive it. For example I doubt my french viewers think that I literally took their meaning of the words and made ConCon, they managed to still watch my videos.
