Postby BerenErchamion » Wed Oct 16, 2019 1:00 am

xxgorillaguyxx made his ingame name "gaybeaner" which is hate speech towards TWO groups of people.

No report from this game and no open reports on this player.

Also note, using the term gay is not insulting so I'm not sure how you find this insulting for two groups.

Meandrina do you know the meaning of the word "beaner?"

bean·er
/ˈbēnər/
Learn to pronounce
nounINFORMAL•OFFENSIVE
a Mexican or person of Mexican descent.

This person was most obviously intending their name to be offensive both towards Mexicans and towards the LGBTQ community. How you can not see that is beyond me, but I'm not a mod so do what you will.

To clarify: She knows the word beaner isn't appropriate. She was noting that the word "gay" isn't inappropriate, so it would only be insulting to people of Mexican descent, but not gay people.

What I am trying to explain, is that, given the context that the name was intended to be offensive, I strongly believe they intended both parts as offensive. Not that it really matters, as long as it is realized that the name they chose was intended to be offensive and is handled accordingly. This is my final response here so feel free to do whatever needs done in regard to the matter and I am stepping back. Thanks for your work!

It's been a month and no reports on this player still, so closing.
