Why can't my club be [GAY]?

Why is "GAY" considered inappropriate for a club tag? I understand some people use it as a slur, but a lot more people use it to honestly identify themselves, even in polite company.  When you take ...

These words are blocked because the game is full of children and many of them are not yet oriented.

Game is rated T for teen. Also, this is nonsense.


Your word is a sexual orientation and no one gives a * about sexual orientation in-game. Please keep your orientation to yourself.

Don't say "no one cares" when replying to someone who literally cares.  This is just lazy thinking.

@JoberrykinsAs E9_ACTTV said above - THERE IS NO PLACE IN THIS GAME FOR SEXUAL ORIENTATION, POLITICS, RACE, AND GENDER. These things should stay out of the gaming world.

    There's actually a pretty good place already in the game! It's called the user name.

    Putting a tag like "GAY" in front of your name will make a lot of players insult you. This will lead to hatred of sexual orientation.

    Thank you for trying to protect me, but as someone with "girl" in their user name, I know how to handle harassment.

      @JoberrykinsI just don't understand why it even matters? Why do you care if people know? Why do you want to force your care to know on others? We simply don't care. You also have only 2-3 people who think this should be a thing out of 1.2 million players that are online at this time.

        I just don't understand why it even matters? Why do you care if people know? Why do you want to force your care to know on others? We simply don't care.

        First off, still want to note that you clearly do care, or you'd have walked away by now, but I'm going to continue to assume good faith and respond.

        Do you propose banning "AZNGamer" or "BlackNerd"?

        How about "GamerGuy" or my own name, "Girlfiend"?

        What about your name? That's your twitch account, which is personal information that I don't care about.  Can we call that inappropriate?

        Why does [GAY] need more scrutiny than any other nickname? 

        Basically,

        I think being gay is cool, and I'm proud of who I am and how hard my community has fought.

        I think visibility can be great.

        I know there are other LGBTQ people who play this game and feel similarly.

        There are out, queer characters in the game, why is my identity reserved for in-game characters only?
