    I agree, that words like gay, trans, and transgender should not be whitelisted words. I am very disappointed about this. I do not know can I even use twitch, if it is nitpicking minorities like this.

    I know some people use minority identities as insult, but banning the terms only agrees with them, that the minorities are nothing more than slurs.

    I remember when I encountered this in one server and I tried to ask, why they are banning word gay and not other sexualities. I was only told, that if I keep going, I will be banned.

    Banned from hateful community? Oh the suffering and true loss. How ever, I really did not think this would be more common issue, and it makes me angry.
