HOMOPHOBIA

[Feigenn]

I don't get the point of banning someone for being racist but act blindly towards homophobia. : ' (((

[Taxman]

If it comes to a mods attention while they are online I’d sure they’d do something about it, tho it is hard to get their attention for issues like racism, homophobia and other types of discrimination.

[AteNutela]

This also concern me. Everyday i saw plenty of sbs about that and it is rlly sad.

[WorldBreaker]

Maybe they are homophobic themselves? IDK...

Devs are from UAE, and homosexuality is illegal and is criminalized there, that might be the case idk

[AteNutela]

Regardless they are still a mod and their job is to make the community child friend and safe for everyone.

[Snuggyy]

That doesn't give them an excuse to completely ignore it. They're a mod and have to set a good example.

[sifo0o]

bro i'm from the UAE, and we don't hate homosexuality its banned due to "religious" reasons.

[Crover]

Its impossible for the devs to not see such things cuz everyday there are tons and tons of sb about immaturity regarding this.

It's really sad to see such discrimination continuously circulating in the game... and sadly it is continuously and slowly destroying it too through toxicity.

Really hope that something would be done by this tbh

[ARPHER]

i only see mods doing actions to player who directly attacks other mods. I never saw them stopping an sb war between 2 countries

[LosArbitos]

I could've sworn that Ubidev was planning to add some sort of a LGBTQ community, because I saw a post talking about it and NekoRei actually responded to it positively.

[Jedaki]

I dont think that kind of stuff should be included in Growtopia

(yes flame war incoming)

[LosArbitos]

Yes, I also believe that adding this to GT is a bad idea. People really should keep their private life, private.

I believe Nekorei is from the Philippines but I'm not sure. Also they closed that thread at the end.

so, you're saying its ok to be mean as long as we're mean to everyone? ok... you smell and everyone on this thread smells and everyone on growtopia smells and I smell especially... i need a shower

Regardless of your stance on the subject, keep it private or in your inner circle. Growtopia shouldn't be the place for politics or social issues, as people will always have views that differ from those of other individuals. These discussions do nothing but create arguments. Let people be how they are, mind your own business, and bring your opinions to light elsewhere.

So, we ban all of the homophobia, that's the conclusion, right? RIGHT?

[ixao]

I don't think that the conclusion should be that straight. There are a lot of problems related to either homophobia or racism.

[LETS4GO]

Just tape them, it acts as a deterrent and keeps players from being banned.

[GrowH]

LETS4GO I don't refer to any particular punishment method when I say "ban" in this context, though I do think a day-long ban would be a much-superior punishment for anything that would get you cursed or taped. Let them take a break from the game and think about what they did, you know?

Hey,

I would like to give my opinion on this topic as it seems to receive a grand scheme all across social media and the internet. Initially, I agree on the point that there should be no discrimination of any sort. This includes your preference on which gender you like, your beliefs, your skin color, your nationality and much more. These titles should have no place in Growtopia as a big amount of it's player base is not capable to understand negativity and go on with other's sayings and the fact that these titles can cause arguments that leads to punishments. It's both a con for the community and overall reputation of Growtopia as a game. I am aware that there are people recruited and carefully placed into their positions whom are responsible to give punishments to those who disagrees with being civil and goes on with his / her surroundings', parent's take on anything offensive. This heavily helps the community as they are trying their best to keep everything as best as they can. But, it is not enough. People who really is up to hurting someone or a group of people always find a way to escape from the punishments and continue spreading negativity all across Growtopia whether by using Super-Broadcasts or directly harassing them by messaging.

This is the main problem. A big part of the community is infected and cannot be healed. I, personally think that only giving out punishments and suspensions would be enough to ATLEAST stop a very little amount of this mass of people to stop. I mean, don't get me wrong. They do work but they are not clear enough. It should be more aperture that anyone who is responsible for anything offensive or discriminative will get punished, either in-game or at the forums. Plus, there should be a way to check the chats in order to prevent players harassing one other face to face. These solutions would be fix to both preventing arguments and giving out a clearer message on being civil.

There is also a lot of people who quote on quote "trying to help" but couldn't. I get the fact that they are either trying to guard one other or something related to them. But, they just bully or harass the one infront of them thus making both sides wrong. This also should not be the case as people should be able to make some emphaty between each other, even if they are currently in an argument or even a war. This is something that an individual can achieve by themselves but I still find it interesting and unworthy to get this much hate on either a person, or a group of them.

Hope this topic gets some attention as it is very important, and hope people understand that this is both unappealing and a seemingly bad thing towards the community of Growtopia.

Hope you all have a great day / night,
