Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

I've yet to see a good argument for this, the only one actually arguing for this was the OP, and he's apparently left the building.
The only arguing going on now is

this guys ^ misguided argument.
I'd say majority rules in this thread, as the only person who was arguing for it is gone, and the person arguing for it now probably has no clue what this thread was about anymore.
This thread holds no more discussion value imo, the only argument Posted by: Heliossoileh1
this guy ^ has is that we're all homophobes for having the common sense that it will be abused. So if anyone else has any pro arguments, I'll be happy to play the con in it.

Troll or not, I agree with the OP, the way words are censored isn't consistent and it is quite offensive that some words are censored and some words aren't. I'd ideally like to have no words censored but I appreciate that, that's impossible in the real world. I think by stigmatising the use of the word -blam!- by censoring it you only make it more likely people will use it insultingly or with scorn, I don't think it should be censored.
I for one liked how the OP addressed the problem, I liked the use of language and the aggressive combative tone. It seems to me that oftentimes that's the best way to deal with the community, which seems to be terribly juvenile about these sorts of things.
Whatever I'll take it.
Uncensoring the word won't change user's maturity. People will still find it hilarious to just post, "OP is -blam!-".
You liked the way the OP addressed the problem? Oh yeah, his argument is flawless and definitely the right approach. Had he actually tried to make intelligent conversation in his OP, I might have approached him differently rather than seeing him as oblivious to the obvious reason that the word is censored.
Juvenile? We've been trying to tell him why the word is censored. Look through the pages, you'll find that most of the arguments against this are the same, that should tell you something. Now look through the pages, you'll find that most of the arguments for this are the same, that should tell you something.
