    Default Should 'gay' be filtered?

    Well, should 'gay' be filtered.

    We have a few points to be put accross, heres 1 for favour of each.

    NO) No, because it is a word that is in the dictionary, meaning happy!

    YES) Yes, because people use it as a word to insult people.

    eg. (for yes) Habbo 1 says: Hi, can I help you, as you look new here.
    Habbo 2 says: No, shut up you gay boy!


    I mean!!! He might not even be 1% gay!!!

    No, I don't think so, I reckon if they did they would get complaints saying it's homophobic. I just think people who so "that's so gay" for absolutely everything, I mean think about it?

    I don't think so, after all, they've filtered everything else. It's nice to have one insult left to use, in a way.
    Howaya.

    lol danny.

    Well, from what I can remember 'Gay' used to be filtered, but then ppl stopped saying it, so they've unfiltered it, as it does mean happy!!!

    If it was filtered it would be offensive 2 gays i can't remeber the word for it. But it would just be unfair, wouldn't it? That's like straight being filtered

    Yes, I agree with you all. Maybe the staff did a poll between then, and they unbanned it :S:S:S
