Why DE hates gays?

[orangebish]

Apparently, DE hates gays so much, they even ban people for using the word "gay" in chat. Gay people can't even identify as gay in the game. No mentions of gays are allowed at all. It's like DE doesn't want them to exist. "Straight" is not banned. If that's not discrimination and homophobia, then I don't know what is.

maybe homosexual people have problem that they feel need to identify them selves on region chat in a video game by using toxic words. In a video game that has nothing to do with sexuality.
Region chat is not meant to be "soft" way of getting out of closet, get up and stand for what you want but leave people to their video game they enjoy, no one worked 8 hours and came to enjoy the game to see sexual drama over someone having troubles getting out of closet.

ohh good lord!
some people have a really bad time grasping this.
nobody has a problem concerning the sexual orientation of a person.
DE is just trying to prevent people offending each other, so in order to keep a clean and respectful game enviroment some words are a reason to get a temp ban for.

Yes, it is very important that you poor, poor straight people need to be protected from those overbearing homosexuals. They are so offensive.

In all seriousness, take this discussion to the warframe subreddit.
It's the only place that isn't moderated by DE, which means it's the only place where mods won't lock it out of convenience. It's also the place some of DE's people actually read.
Posting on Steam or the official forums is a waste of time.

Wow. Strawmanning much? Where did I say anything about coming out? So saying "I'm gay" or "my gay friend" in chat is "toxic" and "drama"? Talk about blatant homophobia. And if this game has nothing to do with sexuality, why you defend your precious Nezha so much from being called a trap? If it's not sexual, why do you care?

I highly doubt they hate gays. The chat rules are in place to stop ridicule and other things of the like from happening.

Considering chat rules like that signify that what can be perceived as an insult is more important than what actually is one, I choose to perceive that as DE hating gay people.

Therefore all arguments about what those rules are here for is automaticly invalid by their own logic.

People shouldn't feel the need to tell random people in chat they are gay. Straight isn't a bannable word because sexuality isn't the only popular use of the term. Gay means homosexual 99% of the time it is used and means happy 1% of the time. Most likely the reason it is banned because people use gay as a toxic term like "That's gay" or some ♥♥♥♥. No one uses "that's straight" it's always "That's gay," so ofcourse it's banned.

It's not that DE hates gays.
DE banned the word "gay" in Region chat cause it often leads to mean words being thrown around. It gets way off-topic.

Definitely wouldn't want any noobs logging onto Warframe for the first time, joining region chat to ask some questions about how to progress in the game, and only seeing drama.

Saying "I'm a gay person" in a public chat is pretty risky to begin with, really.
It's the internet, and there's always going to be someone who'll start drama over that particular topic.

its an online game, nobody cares if youre gay, trans or alien, were here to play, if you feel the need to tell people that youre gay, then go outside, still nobody going to care

Nah, take it from me. They hate gay people.

[V.V.]

Thats a silly question. They don't. AGGP is proof of that, and yet I don't hear him making a big deal about Region's 'strictness'. Just the silly people who think Region needs to be their own personal 'free for all' because 'freedom of speech' and "I'm gay, so I have the right to say it". What a joke.

Stop acting like this is a unique case, it's not. Most if not all Online/MMO's have strict censorships (all the ones I've played on did), which is why most players never even use them after becoming familiar with the game and joining guilds/clans. Because theres really no need to use it beyond getting help as a new player as there are way better chat/speaking platforms to use out there, that have no censorship rules.

Warframe is not a dating site, there is no purpose for advertising your sexual orientation. If you feel the need to spread the word that your gay, do it on the many other chat options that wont get you banned. Its seriously not a big deal, just that you're making it more complicated than it should be.

More like it's used as a derogitory term/slur ~97% of the time, used to identify oneself as homosexual ~2.5% of the time and finally as its original defenition of happy ~0.5%.

If they hate gay people so much then why is one of their Warframe Partners AGGP a.k.a A Gay Guy Plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiHKuwP43GU

With all these political garbage mess around, I'm having hard time making difference between serious or sarcasm.
