I approve of CCP being anti-homosexual. This is a step in the correct direction.

Sorry didnt he just name his own character "Supergay fairy" ? it sounds to me like they're PROMOTING homosexuality. Its not like they banned someone for that name.

If you're offended by the term "supergay" or "Fairy" that is your own problem. I know many gay people who would describe themselves as supergay or a fairy lol

There is a problem when people start dictating what others can and can not say. Especily when they use the guise of a morally elevated position like "im a social worker and ...."

Its very similar to the "N word" and how a lot of black people would use it as a playful term or friendly name. But then you have others who are sitting there telling me i'm evil for using it.



People need to grow up as a whole. It seems not many people were taught that old rhyme.... "Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me"

The longer you tell people how evil these words are... the longer you demonize them... the longer they will remain a symbol of hate. By demanding everyone stop using these "terrible terrible words" you are infact just feeding them with more and more power.

If you feel the word is being used netagively towards you, simply ignore it and realize that person is ignorant because of it. Theres no reason to start some kind of ribbon campaign and demonize the word, because thats just giving that word more power to hurt more people.

"War declarations are never officially considered griefing and are not a bannable offense, and it has been repeatedly stated by the developers that the possibility for non-consensual PvP is an intended feature." - CCP

I work very hard in real life with vulnerable young people and am constantly challenged by mainstream media in trying to break down prejudiced attitudes. I don't know much about the culture in Iceland but even to this day Governments around the world are working to criminalise people for their sexual preferences.

It is a shame to see a company like CCP behaving so irresponsibly.


I am surprised you support physical violence against children. Why are you promoting messages suggesting mothers should hit and abuse their children?

We see stories in NZ on regular basis about parents who beat their children to death.

It is a shame to see somebody who works with vulnerable young people promote such a message of violence and anger.

Oh.

Wait.

You mean you don't intend for that? Then why did you name your character Lady Spank? You don't support spanking children?

Oh.

Well.

That is alright then. Now get off your ******* moral high horse.

I'm far more concerned with your continued promotion of physical abuse, especially of children, in the form of spanking. THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

OP who cry foul on homophobia is hetero-normative, very ironic.

On a side note: Yes, I think there is injustice in this situation. They need to put Speedo's (to be sold separately in NeX) in the cargohold. Not stupid PLEXes.

Yeah, Lady Spank you're the one who has deemed 'super gay' and 'fairy' as being somehow derogatory. Apparently you think being 'super gay' or a 'fairy' is wrong? I contend that there is nothing wrong with being a super gay fairy and I'm glad members of CCP are finally coming out of the closet.

Can't rly agree with op.

Supergay fairy can also mean a fairy that is super cheery or happy, which wouldn't be a suprise, since fairies usually tend to be happy. Even more so, if the mentioned fairy is high on sugar from all the wood flowers she ate.

This.

Political correctness goes too far when a fabulous man can't use an equally fabulous name for his character because of the assumption he's a straight man gay bashing and not a gay man being funny.

fully agree OP. good catch. you have to understand though, Europe is in the dark ages when it comes to freedom of sexual self-expression. neo-nazi groups in Russia openly abuse and kill homosexuals; and a few years back, a group tried to organize a pride walk in Sarajevo...they got beaten into a bloody pulp. there are lots of other examples. it will take time
