I am sure all those 13 yr old kids getting married on AL also know about homosexuality. The problem with the words “gay” and “homo” is that the ones mostly using it, use them to trash others, not to have nice discussions about sexuality or marriage or equal rights etc.

Even though that is the reason STS doesn’t allow them to be used, many innocent words get censored too, as some people have already commented. Chat filter is totally useless anyway. If people want to curse, they can bypass it quite easily so I find it rather pointless.
