The use of "gay" as an insult or as a negative thing is incredibly harmful, likely more so than you realise. It's something which because it's so commonly said, pushes a lot of LGBT+ youth into being forced into the closet, to harbour animosity towards themselves and can cause a great deal of internal conflict in a lot of people. I don't think that, unless you have experienced this yourself, you really have the right to make a judgement on such a thing, and I can tell you from my personal experience, it does affect people.

So no, this is not a "snowflake warn" and is in line with the discrimination policy. Dutch did the correct thing here.

So then you should be punished for every single time you thought you were funny by calling your friends gay? It's a two way street my friend, don't try to take a morality stance when you do the exact same fucking thing.

I'm literally bisexual so.. yeah.

To those on this thread saying that people need to "not get offended by something that isn't targeted at them", I think you need to be taking similar advice yourself - do not try to deny the effects that things you say and do can have at people even that it isn't directly targeted at, and don't tell people they can't be offended by something which takes an aspect of their personality, a very key part of their own lives and who they are, and turns it into something that's "bad" or a "joke".

Sure, the world is a can be an awful place and things like discrimination do happen, but that doesn't mean that people need any kind of "wake up call" at all - it does NOT in any way mean we allow it in ZARP. We do not tolerate it and that is not something that is going to change.

I would encourage any staff members who disagree or who do not believe they would be punishing (either with verbal warns or mutes) to reach out to me on Discord or Teamspeak to explain their reasoning behind this, and to take another read over the discrimination policy as linked in my initial reply.

So people of color can't say anything racist, but people with any sexual orientation other than straight are allowed to be homophobic?
