Then by your logic, it shouldn't matter if the G word is uncensored, because people would still use it as an insult and be up for a ban the same way they would be for other words.
By my logic;
This thread is a waste of time.
taking the Censor off the word would be a waste of time.

Hey, now!

This is officially either the greatest or worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars. I'm going with the former.

I didn't accuse them of being afraid of it. I accused them of homophobia. Look the term up before critiquing my use of it.

Homophobia-Fear of Homo-blam!-s.
Often used to mean Fear, dislike or hate of homo-blam!-s.

Posted by: Heliossoileh1
Many other terms don't, so let's censor those also. "dick" is a good example.

Dick can be someone's name. Dick van -blam!- for example. Dick Cheney is another. Must I go on?

Grow up. The US is drowning in homophobia. The probability that there is not a significant number of bigots within the company is regrettably small. How on earth is the censoring of "g.ay" evidence that the company is in this respect tolerant?

I didn't realize allowing homo-blam!-s to marry in many states was indication of homophobia.
Again, in any given population of people, including Bungie, there is the chance of there being a few people who are incredibly discriminatory towards homo-blam!-s, but Bungie is a professional company. Anyone who let their opinions come before professional duty in their jobs would not be hired, or be fired.

Again, judging everyone because of the opinions or actions of some people IS bigotry.
By your logic, everyone that is a Muslim and lives in the middle east is a terrorist, just because there are several thousand radicals, a very small percentage of the Muslim community that commit such actions.

Posted by: Heliossoileh1Now you're just making yourself look silly, dude. You should quit while you're ahead.


I could say the same to you, and anyone else who I disagree with. Do you see how that lacks substance?
You're attempting to spin this into some sort of bigoted homophobic conspiracy and bias within the Community and Bungie itself as a company. You're also suggesting that because a group of 200ish people (I could be wrong, I'm pretty sure its around there though) live within an area of land that consists of more than 9,000,000 square miles in size, means that there is a high probability that some of them are bigots who had an influence on the profanity filter in some way to get the g-word censored.

If anything, wouldn't a bigot want to have that word uncensored so as to be able to use it freely in a bigoted context whenever they wanted? Just saying.

But back to my main point, because of all the things I listed in the first paragraph, you're sounding very, very silly. If you don't want to turn into someone who's opinion most people disregard because you become "that guy" who had that theory about the homophobic Bungie conspiracy, then I'd stop now if I were you. I'm honestly just trying to help you out, man.

Btw OP, +1 for Hawt topic.

Lol, I remember some incident where a dude in the UK was banned from XBL cause he used his real last name in his GT, his last name happened to include the word we are talking about. Lol. Just thought I'd bring that up.

I haven't even said whether or not I'm for censoring the word. Just because I didn't immediately jump aboard your self-righteous bandwagon doesn't make me an intolerant bigot. In actuality, I don't give a damn over such a small and petty issue, and neither should you. The world is filled with actual problems that are worth championing and fighting against. Try to find a more noble use of your time than trying to get a single word on a single website uncensored.


This is a common fallacy: assert that there are very important issues in the world, and that therefore a less important issue isn't worthy of one's attention. It doesn't take a philosophical genius to work out that the latter claim does not follow from the former.

Indeed, your view falls on its own sword: there are more important things for you to be doing than arguing with me, participating in this thread or even being on your computer. I had thought you were smarter.

I should add that it's strange that you consider the demand for "g.ay" to be uncensored "self righteous". I think this tells me all there is worth knowing about what your beliefs are vis-a-vis these issues.

A step in the right direction, but the fact that you emphasise that "many states" are permitting homose.xuals to marry is an indication of how homophobic your country remains. It has only just come around to the idea that homose.xuals should be able to serve openly in the military, for instance, and even that measure was strongly resisted.

Professional company or not, bigotry has a habit of rearing its head even where it should formally not be permitted-as in the censoring of "g.ay", for example. Note that I don't think this was a conscious decision.

Exactly: a very small percentage. Unfortunately, a very high percentage of Americans are not too keen on homose.xuality, and so my inference is far from implausible.

To be honest, I get the impression that you're not advanced enough in years to carry on this exchange with the sophistication I require, so I'll leave it here.

This thread was stupid the first time, and I think it got worse the second time. Editing their names to make them look stupid is exponentially worse than saying "An Anonymous Moderator". This is going to get locked. It's equally as inappropriately unnecessary as the first thread.

Also, as other people said in your first thread, the words that are censored is a random, generic list generated by Microsoft or some other default entity and is not likely to be edited any time soon or ever if I had to give it a good guess.

Edit: Even in your repost it seems you fail to realize that black is a COLOR. One used to describe many things, one of which COULD BE the skin color of a person, but another could be a dog or a remote or an original xbox or a soccer ball or thousands upon millions of other things. Making an argument that it is an expletive equivalent to the g-word is stupid.

I agree fully. I just can't believe he bothered to make a second thread about it

I honestly can't tell if you're just trolling or ignorant.

Are you trying to make this thread a discussion on -blam!--blam!-ity, or about the word -blam!- being censored. This thread isn't about bigotry, we don't care what your opinion on this matter is. If you're too ignorant to see that our arguments aren't against people of a -blam!--blam!- orientation, but against the word -blam!- being uncensored as it would cause problems for hetero-blam!-s and -blam!--blam!-s alike.

Calling someone a dick doesn't hold as much substance as calling them -blam!-. A dick isn't a person, it doesn't have feelings or cannot be offended by the use of its persona.

Recon Number 54 (a Master Forum Ninja) made a post in which he was quoting someone else in a sarcastic manner and put a bunch of e's in a word for the male sex organ (I believe). He had no intention of bypassing the profanity filter. And yet everyone flipped out and assumed he was above the law because he made a slip up. So they -blam!-ed about it a lot and he banned himself so they would shut up and to show them how stupid they were acting.

Okay, let's have a mature debate.

Why do you want this word uncensored on a video game site? Do you want to discuss that on a video game site? Would it not make more sense to go to a site that is dedicated to discussions like this where people won't simply abuse the word and actually keep a mature discussion?

Prove your points.

Pretty much sums it up.
This site was made by a game company to discuss games. Why you who all want to make light of non video game issues here just proved that you don't get it.
You want to talk preferences, politics, positions, or religion, start your own group or better yet, your own forum elsewhere. It's not Bungie nor the mods job to give you a soapbox that no one hear wants to hear you on anyhow.
