You are offending by "being offended"

[geriatrix]

I saw some topic that is locked now and I couldn't reply there.

Bowydude was complaining about
"being offended by toon's name XpendaGays".

Declaring that to be offensive he offended all those people who try
to make same-sex-marriage possible for them.

On top of that, XpendGays is Xpendable's husband.
Bowy offended those two people as well.

I wish I could reply on that topic instead of opening new one,
but, as I said, that one was locked prematurely.

Irrelevant anyway, all the people that made Xpendables name rip-off characters have been account banned.

[geriatrix]

Sorry to hear that, and sorry for injustice made to some of them without any previous evaluation.

[Feone]

I would hardly call it injustice, rule 2.2 is very clear.

2.2 If the player made on purpose a character with a name that is offending the faction or someone, he will receive immediate permanent ban without a warning.

"ExpendaGays" + the other people ripping off a faction name with the sole purpose of insulting them broke this. They deserved it.

[geriatrix]

First, you have to prove it's on purpose.

Second, are you also claiming that "gay" is offense?

[Feone]

When the characters are constantly in worldchat talking trash about a faction they are named after it's easy to see .

I laugh when I see people trashtalk Xpendables like that.
I laugh even more when I see them get their well deserved ban.

Thanks for the amusement =3

geriatrix, the person who made the character obviously saw it as such, why don't you ask him/her ^^?

[geriatrix]

Can't, the toon is banned (inaccessible).

It's not a matter of whether or not the word is offensive, but if it is used with the intent of being offensive, which it clearly was.

It was locked to avoid stupid unnecessary comments like this one. The character name combined with how the people that made the chars were talking about Xpendable in world chat was clearly meant to be offensive. Perhaps you shoud ask around in world chat and find out who thinks being gay is enough of an insult to make a char named after our faction and call it so and bitch to them.

And here people think we're the ones that start all the drama. wew.

I am offended by the offense of the offender being offended by someone being offended of some other offense D:

this is real cereal

Now, knowing more about this, I agree.

So, it WAS the intention to offend.

Thanks, people.

Ugh clearly people can't or don't understand english. And I wasn't on or I woulda dealt with that immeadetly.
But yea im gunna start Account banning people who continue to start drama and make alts to attack guilds. This is childish. -_-

[geriatrix]

Maybe.

I'm mostly in faction or squad chat and those things from wc weren't known to me.

Thanks for your kind words, dear friend. I don't think you should be muted for
expressing yourself the way you can.

On the other hand, this thread answered what I wanted to know,
and I think can be locked, or deleted, or whatever...

Just be careful what you declare offensive, and how.
