Thread: Should 'Gay' Be Banned in Game?

Gothix, a Dragon's Call(http://dc.gamedp.com) player, was absolutely pissed off by [GH] Haze, a player volunteer, due to the action of muting him in game. Furthermore, Gothix thinks Haze has a strong discrimination for the whole gay community. Gothix is very sensitive about this kind of problem in game. He decided to give the whole GH(Game Helper, player volunteers) team and Dragon's Call an official warning after he found out that he could not even type the word "Gay" in the world chat (The word "Gay" is in the in-game filter). He stated that even Blizzard had received a Gay Rights Warning in order to tell Dragon's Call official this was a serious problem. Also he reminded everyone that the Gay Pride Week 2010 was coming soon.

Necessary or unnecessary?

I think it starts out as a publicity stunt to get attention, probably from some stupid advice but i dont see why we cant have it uncensored anyways.

How are u going to ban gay in game? its nearly to impossible..therefore i guess it is unnecessary at all

WTFF .. hahaha

Everyone is free to choose the sex they want, I have nothing against gays, since they do not offend me! or why should be banned!

yes certainly it is a publicity stunt. who care in a game whether the other player is gay..

Truthfully speaking I don't think it should be banned but the fact of the matter is people most commonly use the word "gay" as a insult either playfully or seriously which can be taken as a personal attack on the "victim" or whoever the insult was directed towards. So to illiterate it depends on the person, some people might see the word as a discriminatory statement whereas others may think nothing of it. Everything is in the eyes of the beholder and what you may think is a normal everyday occurrence(something minor or miniscule) someone else may think of it as a huge deal.

I think that it's necessary and unnecessary? There should be some option to toggle it.
