| I mean the actual word when it's span backwards. I can't say It because I might get a 1 day ban. I understand people use it as an insult, which is wrong, but it's not an insult and censoring it just enables the people who use it as an insult. |

| Not backwards, but when you put an 'A' in the middle. |

| Actually that's a special case. Using "Gay" as an insult will result in an action, but stating something like "I am gay" is fine. |

| Are you sure? Because when was playing Egghunt, I was conversing with someone about being so, and anytime he used the word, even though it wasn't being used as an insult, it was censored blank. |

| Ah, in games yes it's censored as that's a situation where it's far more likely for the conversation to be mean or insulting. On the website it is not censored. |

MrDoomBringer, kids shouldn't be having conversations like that though. This isn't a website for that. |

| Well that system should be In games, too. Only people who use it as an insult don't know what they're talking about usually. When they say "This place is gy" they don't mean the place has affection for other places of the same gender. |

| HAHAHAno. People talk about unrelated things al the time. What about chatting? That gets rid of the use of it too. |

"Conversations like that don't belong on Roblox though."
People should be allowed to express who they are though. It's not fair that everyone assumes I'm straight when I'm not. And it doesn't mean I want to OD or anything, it's that it's a part of who I am, so why can't I express that within reason?
Also, kids should know that there's more than just straight people in the world, and they should also know that it's perfectly normal and perfectly fine. Otherwise they might be prejudiced to those who are g.a.y because they don't understand it.
When you're 13+ (old enough to use the forums) you're starting to figure out who you are, and one of the things you figure out during this time is if you're straight or not. And that can be hard for some people. So having a place to go to talk about it is helpful for some; and I know Roblox isn't the best place for that but there are groups in Roblox that would be supportive of such a thing (really it's the forums that are a bad place for that discussion simply because people on Roblox like to insult others, but even then you do find people who aren't like that).
Also, the word is still censored on the forums. I tried to post this and it got blocked until I put dots in-between the letters. |

@zukaro
Or you could just join a website to talk about such things. Thing is, little kids don't need to know about things like this. If they are going to hear about such things, they need to be old enough to make an opinion for themselves on it.
There parents could also forbid them from going on roblox if such talk is allowed anyway. |

@MrDoomBringer
It cant be used as an insult, if you think about it. I am personally "Gy" and when people call me I just say "I am sorry that you have to use a lifestyle as an insult.".
I would like it to be unblocked |

| What are you talking about?!?! We're not pushing it onto them. If they want to talk about it, let them talk about it. |

It's better if they know about it when they're younger and are taught about it. Anyways, it's only 13+ users that are able to talk about these things; I think that's old enough. |
