...from the banned word's list?
I realise this will probably be sensitive, but please here me out. Oh and by grown up, I mean the community, not the Bungie team.
Religious beliefs aside, -blam!--blam!-ity is becoming more prominent and accepted in society, whether it is through media campaigns or changes in the law allowing marriage between members of the LGBT community.
With this said, the LGBT community commonly refer themselves as being G-A-Y, or L-E-S-B-I-A-N and accept the name as describing them and not as an insult.
Even on these forums, the term is rarely used any more, not because it is blocked, but rather because we are also changing in attitudes.
So my question is, with these changes, are we able to unblock these word that merely describes a member of our society? Describing someone's ethnicity is not blocked, so why should someone's -blam!-ity be blocked?
In my mind it makes no sense.
In summary
I believe the words to describe any member of the LGBT community should be unblocked by the profanity filter.
However some words should remain blocked, for instance F-A-G-G-O-T.
Now, I would like to here your thoughts on the issue, do you believe it should be unblocked?
I'm not going to include a poll to induce discussion.
P.S I apologise now for bypassing the word filter.
