Nexon is provoking negativity towards gays. I understand people use the word gay as a derogatory term, but my censoring it, it just makes people assume its a bad word, like kcuf or hctib backwards, and thats sending the wrong mesage to people. Its such a common thing in todays society, it shouldn't be censored because basicly the message they are sending by saying gay is a bad word, is that gay is bad. Also, settle down guys, im straight but i do support gay rights.

So many people in the world use "gay" as an offencefull term so thats why nexon cencors it. Too many people use it as something bad that it no longer means "happy" it's just a way to put someone down. Nexon is right for cencoring it, saying nexon is provoking negativity towards gays is unfair because the word hardly means homosexual anymore its just a way to bully someone.

Since MS is a "child" game and supposed to teach "stuff", it's good that kids don't know what the f word and a word is but censoring gay is telling them that being gay is wrong." Nexon advertises MS as recommended for age 13+ Which is the legal age to introduce less censorship, if not none. OT: Gay should be censored, homosexual should not.

They as a whole can hardly understand how normal relationships work. Maybe in the future if[hopefully when] gays existing together is a norm, it can be implemented. But most of us are so divided on the issue, it is best to leave gay marriage/relationships OUT of maplestory." If c8 were blocked for that reason, wouldn't 8=D be blocked too?

The thread starter knows he doesnt care about if nexon censors it or not. You just want to make a thread and waste time to get attention....

Bleh. If nexon cencored 'gay' simply because people used it as a term of offense, then why dont they cencor "gey"? Its obvious what it means, and people use it as often the same way. Theres no point in cencoring gay if people use it anyway. Theres always going to be a way to get around cencored words. Also, not everyone is the same religion, some believe in god, some dont. I myself am currently unreligious.. they should support not just one religion, but all. Also, this game is not ment for children. Its ment for pre-teens, teens, and adults. There is a reason nexon has an age limit for this game. Teens and pre-teens are the age where they are just figuring out this stuff anyway. If this was soumething like neopets, then thats a different story. THOSE are kids who shouldnt be exposed to serious matters. People like us are obviously aware of it already. And another thing, gays don't choose to be gay. It's a uncommen condition. You dont just wake up one day and say "Hey guess what, IM GAY!" because you feel like it. If you did, you'd kinda be a jerk. So, not only is nexon sending the message that being gay is wrong, but their sending message that people with conditions they can't prevent must be useless or not important enough. Would you tell a girl she couldnt go into the resteraunt because she had breast cancer? Thats pretty much it. PS: I'm not gey, I have a boyfriend. <3 But I do support gay rights.
