@vahnj I remember being scared closeted back in WoW when homophobic/etc slurs were the norm and a de facto part of normal gaming culture, but when a guild used gay or lgbt words to be inclusive, Blizzard banned them. I'm glad nowadays most game makers have done a 180 on that shit, but surprises me a lot of gamers still cling to the old ways
