gay should be unfiltered but if someone is using it to offend a player or community then it should be muteable. however, it should only be muteable if the player reports it on the forums.

Since the word gay is censored "to stop people using it in a derogative or insulting manner and causing lots of toxicity", why are more words not censored as they also have a normal meaning as well as a derogatory connotation, as well as other words which have other inappropriate meanings behind them or can be used in that way.

There are already measures in place to regulate and prevent homophobia and other forms of toxicity, such as bans and mutes which will deter people from using it and people that do will be punished appropriately. You could argue that uncensoring the word "gay" would lead to toxicity as people can use it for derogatory reasons, but it also has positive connotations and even though it is censored it can be evaded like when people log on and use variations of the n-word to evade the filter and they would be punished just the same.

Words that can be used "derogatory" or are "inappropriate":

• Sex
• Autism
• Stupid
• Idiot
• Fat
• Ugly
• Dog
• Waste of space
• Piss
• Every other sexuality or gender identity

In conclusion, either all all words with a primarily derogatory meaning should be censored or the word "gay" should be uncensored.

why is fat, ugly, dog, stupid, and idiot inappropriate

The whole point...

These are all normal words with negative connotations and can cause toxicity but still shouldn't be censored.

Reading comprehension people.... Rap's point is that while the word gay has a negative connotation, like the words he listed, it shouldn't be filtered, since it doesnt only have a negative connotation.

cant even say @GayToad 's name smh

 

[Caio029]

many people are repeating the same question over and over again without even looking at the thread itself.

I personally think they shouldn't be censored but they have stated a reason the word "gay" is censored and I'm just listing words that should also be if the same rules apply to all words.

what? i’m pointing out the sheer idiocy in the idea of filtering the word “idiot” or “dog”. Practice what you preach.

No that's not his point his point is that both of those words can carry a negative connation so why only ban one word and not all of them.

bro idiot is not a negative connation is my point

while i agree that some of the words may be negative, idiot is only a curse for 3 year olds, and does not belong on that list

i dont get how waste of space, piss, ugly, fat, stupid, autism and sexuality’s are bad

A lot of people seem to be missing the point here. He's not saying that they should be banned because they're bad. What Raptor is trying to say here is that the word "gay" shouldn't be banned just because it carries a negative connation. As if that were the reason shouldn't all these words be banned because most of them also carry a negative connation?
