Is this bannable?

What do you have against homophobes? Don't homophobes have the right to be themselves? That is very intolerant of you.

It sounds to me like you are intolerant of intolerant people.

Ah, that changes things certainly hehehe

Pretty much this.

The word has evolved and the homosexual community does not have a lock on it. Similar to "What up mah niggah?".

The key is intent. That is open to interpretation.

It could be interpreted that by using the name "Rainbow" your intent is to garner troll harassment or insults against homosexuals.

One of my best friends died of AIDS a few years back. He used to get the shit kicked out of him growing up in Mississippi until he learned some Martial Arts and began fucking them up in return. I have a few ties to the gay community, including knowing someone who was at the Rainbow Lounge on THAT day. So I know from some direct sources about the harassment you can receive. I'm telling you this for context in what I am telling you now.

You won't change speech, but we can help you avoid being harassed. We will pursue and prevent those we find griefing other players from doing it. It is about the intent.

If you truly want to minimize the harassment though, I suggest you apply for a name change that doesn't invite (taunt?) the bigoted into attacking you personally.

I'll never change my name!  I'm famous.  Although I did think about it for a second when the Hunger Games clan came out and they all have in movie / book character names.  Gr.

The level of cognitive dissonance and privilege in this thread is astounding.

In this thread: Watch people defend calling others my old friends as an insult (but it's not about gays) the same way some of their grandfathers defended calling lazy workers friends (well obviously i don't mean he's black, no offense)!

Tune in next week for the next episode folks, i'm sure it'll be a doozy!

The problem here is expecting internet conversations to be as civilized as real life interaction.

As far as I can tell, the opposite is true.  The internet is all about evoking the greatest possible emotional response from everyone at all times.  A fine comedy artform at its peak, and horribly offensive when unironic...sometimes both at the same time.  OBSERVE!

Calling people gay bundle of stickss is a particularly interesting insult.  The only time it ever works is when used on a homophobic person, because only homophobic people find being homosexual damaging to their chauvinistic masculinity.

The only time it ever works is when used on a homophobic person...

It can also work on those sensitive to being bullied for their sexual preference, to name just one more example. I don't think your argument holds much water.

[obitus]

Okay, the only time it should work is when used on a homophobic person.

Sexual preference is not under anyone's control.  A gay person being called "gay" should be as offensive as calling a white person "white".  The only reason a gay person would take offense is if they themselves believe it is shameful to be gay, which is ridiculous but sadly true in some cases due to our shitty chauvinistic society.
