    Hey so I wanted to make this thread to discuss something that I see is an issue.
    @Mvdi

    So, lesbian and gay are filtered.
    I completely understand why the word gay is filtered because it can be used as a derogatory way.
    However why is lesbian filtered?
    Lesbian is when two girls have physical and emotional feelings for each other?

    I assume gay is filtered because you can accuse someone of being gay or because some people think the actual meaning is an insult.

    "It's not even an issue".

    Well. Notice how a lot of words are filtered?
    Porn isn't filtered. But lesbian is.


    My question is.
    If you're filtering Sex... but you're not filtering porn.... BUT you're filtering lesbian and gay, then what is the problem with lesbian and gay?

    Don't ban me for this.

    Edit: Homo is also filtered.

    I also wanted to bring something else up.
    Please don't take offense to this.

    The B word. We all know it right? It's filtered. Some people try to bypass it with the 1 as the i.
    If you replace the i with a 1 you get the ******

    The N word. A not okay word under any circumstances. It's filtered. However when you replace the letter i with a 1, it isn't filtered.

    It's not really a suggestion but removing this pathetic filter would be nice.

    I agree. Lesbian doesn't need to be filtered, it's not like "gay", no one uses the word "lesbian" as an insult.
    I don't know why that's filtered either, honestly. Even if someone used that as an insult, not really that severe.

    "Porn" should be filtered as well. Very accurate concerns. I'm not really worried about censoring words where people use 1 in place of i to bypass the filter, players are usually warned if they bypass the filter.

    But, to clarify, the filter when implemented already had a lot of words in the config to automatically be censored. The words like "lesbian" and "homo" I assume were already in there.

    I agree. Honestly, people may use the term "gay" in pvp. Like a player can say "sharp 30s are gay". They obviously don't mean it in the sexual way, but they sort of consider it as a curse word.

    so i guess this goes at the end of the to-do list that includes, but is not limited to: resetting survival, fixing bugs, more infec maps, resetting op pvp, and all the other suggestions.

    who even uses lesbian as an insult?

    Gay is understandable, but even then it shouldn't be regarded as an insult. Not saying we should unfilter it tho, but if people weren't so pathetic with their insults then maybe we wouldn't have to filter it.

    People bypass things by using & as a A and the $ for example people would bypass the P word by using $ and 1

    This needs to be fixed support

    I mean, I use both "gay" and "lesbian" as insults just so I don't single out one or the other...

    I feel like both words should be either filtered, or unfiltered. Not one or the other.

    Why do you use lesbian as an insult? If you're trying to insult someone you should pick another word. That's just like calling a heterosexual couple an insult. It's literally two girls who have feelings for each other.

    Yes, and gay is when two guys have feeling for each other, yet it's commonly used as an insult.

    Omg boi. Gay is when you're homosexual... Doesn't matter if it's a guy or a guy or a girl or a girl or any other combination. Gay = sexually attracted to someone of the same sex.
