/BananaLock Soooooooo..... Hi. I was wondering if saying words like homosexual or lesbian is still against ToU, as I got silenced but this is not why I am here... Well kind of. I have no choice to "complain" a little to ask my question. As I know words like these are not filtered. Even Ma'am Green affirms that people with different orientations plays kaw... Everything good. But today, a drunk moderator just silenced me for something that should not be silenceable. I try to not complain, as I emailed devs, but my question is... Why are sexual orientations in wc against ToU if the words are not even filtered ?
you presented it in a way that seems to have been meant to be insulting. i don't see what the confusion is.
Looks like you meant it as an insult. Though the mods silencing you gives the impression that they think being homosexual is a bad thing, so being called homosexual is an insult. Which it isn't. Kind've making themselves look like "butt's" for lack of a better word.
that is twisted logic. people use those terms as an insult. being homosexual isn't a bad thing, but no one says, "you're such a straight".
It looks like you meant it to be a derogatory remark or used as an insult. It's not the word 'homosexual' that got you silenced but the way in which you used it. The devs will lift the silence if they believe that it was unfair.
Anyone who's gay/lesbian and is called "homosexual" to their face is most likely going to be offended... I guess it's not PC enough or whatever. Though I'm not sure about all this. Ask Parsfan he prob knows why
To those who think that I used it as an insult : But the guy and me were friendly chatting through wc. I wouldve SSed if I knew I was going to be silenced.
Most actual gay people don't mind being called homosexual because they know it's just a description. It's like calling a black guy black or a white guy white. It's people that AREN'T gay that tend to judge simple stuff like that. Doubt that he'd have been silenced if he'd called the guy a straight though.
Mods and devs can't know everyone's friendships with every player. Explain it to them and they'll probably lift it. Either way really, it's still not a comment that needs to be in a public channel (remember 9+ game), no matter the context. Hence the silenece.
What mods show to kids is that everyone should talk about straight, or get punished And I agree with you, but as I said, we were friendly talking in wc. Friendly, like friends. And I did email. I just find it insulting there are cases likes this in kaw. Mods are... Or supposed to be neutral players.
lol I know a lot of gay dudes ...if someone they didn't know came up to them and called them a "homosexual" they would straight trip
yeah mate, in my country dropping the "sexual" from "homosexual" makes it a negative & offensive remark, best to read up on cultural differences b4 whining bout silences on the forum imo.
That's not what they're showing at all... The way you expressed yourself made it come across as if you were using the word homosexual as a derogatory term. They're showing kids it's not okay to use the term as an insult . Not sure how neutrality comes into it? They're just abiding by ToU.
Homo ..It's like the word Jew (but even more so) not necessarily bad unless used in the wrong context.
