Why is TLOPO Chat Bigoted

[Nayla DuPont]

Why is "transgender" blocked in chat,
But people can name their "male" avatars a female name to be funny

I realize this is going to trigger a lot of white angry men but this is transphobia

Suggest it to the whitelist.

Due to the fact that the word will be used incorrectly, most likely in a troll manner.

That doesn't answer the question tho

Trans people are already trolled (like allowing male pirates to have women names) so I don't buy that argument lol

Because nobody suggested it. Stop trolling and "make your change".

it's a pirates game for children...not a political game.

First, I wouldn't troll on this topic as a trans person (so u can shove that argument)
Second, I'm not asking how to get it on the whitelist, I'm asking why it's on the blacklist. Thanks.

There are children trans people, sorry you don't think they should be allowed on the game

That's why you suggest it to the Whitelist This is a way to get words said in game!

for all we know it could just be on neither which you still couldn't be able to use it...

Likely due to the fact that it would be used in a derogatory manner

Its going to get dragged through the mud if it is whitelisted, and It'll just cause unwanted ignorance to ooze out.

I find it more irritating I can't use the word that defines me

 

[MoonWalker]

Well who you are isn't defined by one word alone, are you?

Correct, but you don't get to decide how I feel on it!

Mate, you've asked for an explanation and you've gotten two..

Those are not explanations, they are cop-outs. The world "holocaust" is on the white list, why isn't that blocked? I can think of 30 ways to use that in a bad way.

I'm going to need to see some proof. If that is true, it should be reported to the team since it can be used in a bad way.
