We have a few LGBT members, so I don't think just "gay" should be an instant ban: "tranny", "she-male", "half-gay", etc. should all be an instant ban. Anything insulting to the community as a whole, not just the homosexual community.

Calasan, it's great they don't bother you, but rape is literally one of the worst things you can do to another person. It's terrible and isn't something to be joked about, and making rape jokes is severely fucked up, in my mind it makes it seem like A) you think rape is funny or inconsequential and therefore a joke or B) you think rape is an acceptable thing and you're willing to downplay the severity of what it is.

I agree that we should outright ban discriminatory terms, even those that may not be being used in a strictly insulting-to-the-group manner like "gay". I do agree. They don't bother me, but as I said, they're not appropriate for this space, ie the chat. I can't do anything about real life. Just saying.
