Title: Offensive clan?

I don't know about you, but that clan tag seems pretty bannable to me. I don't think we've tolerated homophobic slurs before, have we?

The clan description also refers to Homosexuality, and the double A is clearly a way to get around the word filter.

I'd also like to note, one of the clan members advertised the clan as "Anyone want to join our sweet Klan?"

If community is willing to tolerate communists, then what's the problem with homophobes? I don't understand your priorities.

But yeah, clantag "FAAG" is pretty much a report material. But if you will make a thread asking community to take action people will rant how you are homophobe-phobe and what is the problem with you and that not liking gays is just an idea....

Stop, just STOP! Holy shit, dont spew irony. This clan is purposfully offensive dont act dumb.
Communists arent offensive, the world doesnt revolve around your likability. If there is something that you dont like but accepted everywhere else, fuckin chug it down and get on with it.

For some it's not the matter of likeability.

There's a report function in game for things like this. Shouldn't be a forum thread.

(BTW, we were talking about a group of five silly little men who like the penis but are too shit to admit it, right?)
I am really not a fan of neither communism, fascism or nazism, really.not.a.fan.

But the best thing that can set you apart from that awful lot is refuting the intolerance and ideological violence that characterize them. They dream for a world of opposing militant ideologies, of class and racial bloodshed and in order to beat them to a pulp the best weapon you have is showing how you are free from their senseless rage and intransigence.

When someone mentions or proselytize those kinds of subhuman behaviors to which not even the lowliest forms of life would submit to, all I give is a sad and piteous grin for I know I am better and will be even better with time while for them it is only a downward spiral into rage and defeat. History crushed both fascism and communism in the most evident way, their past sins lead to revolutions and hangings for the captured; oblivion, despair as a longer sentence for the ones who escaped.

Instead regarding the rapists, the aggressive homophones and pedophiles: Burn them.

I have reported the person who advertised it. Moreso this post is in case devs see this first, and to have all the clan information here in one place should they see it.

I see nothing homophobic about this clan. FAAG stands for Film Actor's Au Guild as stated, and klan is a common mispelling and slang form of clan. Tom Cruise  (The famous actor) really did say "I'm not gay." so the quote is accurate... as unrelated to the clan as that specific quote may be. It's still coming from an actor, and this clan apparently admires actors.

I find politics offensive, can we report all governments?

Im sure you will be able to change the world through goio ;)
anyway just report him for the comment with Klan and then send keyvias an email. He usually decides what is offensive and isnt.
- but i dont think you will have success, it is in the end just referencing popculture.

Thank you! Just report it and be done with it. I've done the same thing when I see people with names like this for ships/etc. Mods come on and do, do something about it. Don't need to make a media circus out of every little person who has differing opinions, thats the media's job.

History crushed both fascism and communism...

Nah, they just morphed into Socialism...ha! :D

Communists arent offensive, the world doesnt revolve around your likability. If there is something that you dont like but accepted everywhere else, fuckin chug it down and get on with it.

So someone implying homosexualism is bad, or making fun of homosexualism = bad
Someone using the symbol of a regime that killed, enslaved and corrupted thousands = not bad
Western priorities, eh? You "useful idiot", you.
You may consider me a zealot or fanatic or whatever, but this is not about what I like or not, but rather what is right and what is wrong. As I said, we know best how communism works in theory, and how it's applied in practice and it's a plague that destroys everything on the way, it's one of the most terrifying things that happened to the human race whatsoever. So as wearing a swastika is bad, waving around hammer and sickle is also bad.
Also, regardless, the further we keep politics from GOIO, the better, so I'm actually against 'all' religious and political symbols whatsoever in the game.

As DJ Logicalia has stated this is something that you can report about players in-game so that Muse can address it appropriately. There is no need to make postings like this in the forums. Closing it on the grounds of Trolling/Harassment because http://gunsoficarus.com/community-standards/
