ATTN: Homophobes
 
Gay is not a degratory term, its just a sexualality and a slang term for the word homosexual, why do we have gay censored but not homosexual? To be fair if gay is censored then straight should also be censored. Therefore i think gay should be un-censored for its not an insult, its a sexuality and nothing more, but you can remain politically incorrect and offensive towards homosexual and make it look like your homophobic.




Damn, i give a compelling arguement.
Other reasons are Marvin Gaye gets starred out which is annoying and gay just doesn't need to be censored.

It beats me why any words are censored at all.
As for the word gay I agree with you entirely A***ison***e.
A word should only be censored if it causes offence and as gay people refer to themselves as being gay, then the fact that it's censored would offend people that are gay.

Not that I am.

Wait they don't censor pussy but they sensor gay? Pussy is a much more vulgar sounding word than gay, but we can say it...hmmmm

ArtistInTheAmbulance 12-26-2005 03:32 PM

But.

People use *** as an insult more.

I mean half of the people on the banned users list have names like "EMOIS***".

They also use pussy as an insult but thats not starred out. Neither does douche bag and that can be used in insults.



Anyways we all have our own minds except for Mr. and Mrs. Sensitive. So there should be an option to have offensive words starred out for each individual user. But since children younger than the average member age say gay I see no point in censoring it.

I see no point as to why people care about such a piss poor subject. Every word can have an argument be made for it as to why it's objective.

NO ONE CARES.

Guys, this is turning into a big of a large arguement..
Its not that bad if it stays censor.
It just annoys me cause i cant dicuss george michael without having to go or something.

ArtistInTheAmbulance 12-26-2005 03:40 PM

Its not like anyone actually pays attention to the censors anyway. They're pointless when everyone knows how to get around them. Dear me, pointless defined.
