Upon transferring to steam, I've found that your censoring system hides part of my username which says "Lesbian". I don't know what you're hoping to achieve by censoring people's identity like that but it is frankly hurtful that a core part of me is treated like some slur, to be hidden away. I would strongly suggest that you would remove censors for anything like that, as it is beyond unhelpful and is frankly outrageous.
-
That’s on Steam, not Bungie. Steam blocks anything. They blocked out the word “braw” before
-
Its blocked out becasue of a name filter.... all swear words and stuff get filtered out... lesbian isnt a swear word but like who would put "lesbian" in there name if it dont mean somthing bad... your name might not mean anything bad but why do you even need the word "lesbian" in your name like no one cares your a lesbian and your dont need to have it in your name just so people will know
-
Not saying it's right, but to be fair the word c a s s e t t e is also censored on bungie.net so I would expect some random words to be blocked that make no sense.
-
Try rug muncher instead of lesbian...the sensors might miss that 🤣
-
Don’t be gay problem solved
-
I always thought your name was kind of cringey. I certainly wouldn't have suggested to censor it but it did seem a little bit inappropriate/out of place. Do you really need to advertise your sexual preference in a video game?
-
I disagree. I think your name should be censored. Guess that makes me homophobic...
-
Yikers lmao maybe they don’t want 13 year olds’ parents getting mad that they read lesbian cause you want everyone to know. You don’t see me running around with -blam!-boy as my name

Sexual content is forbidden in most games, and you prefrence of genitals isnt an identity, its a sexual orientation. Use some common sense.

Who cares. Quit crying and pick a different name. All you people do is complain
-
Oh no, the poor alphabet people can’t alphabet in video games :(
-
It’s offensive that I need to see the word lesbian. I don’t care if you are or not but it’s unnecessary to promote the fact. Just be a person already. Identity politics are for the weak.
-
That’s why I go with ‘scissor me timbers’ every time I create a new online profile
-
This has nothing to do with Bungie. It’s the platform on which you’re playing on.... I’m guessing it’s steam maybe.
-
The platform (in this case steam) governs the policies on censorship. I swear people will find the littlest things to get upset about. There enough assholes on the internet to make companies have to install policies such as this. People can’t be trusted to default to decency. Sad to say.
-
And why would Bungie be in charge of censoring Steam names? This is a Steam issue. Think it through
-
First of all: Steam is being Steam. Secondly: You are an adult and shouldn't be freaking out about something like this. Thirdly: Personally I do not believe that usernames should have anything to do with how you identify, your religion, or political alignment. I am completely open and accepting of all of it, but I don't think it has a place over the net where arguments and hate can occur at any moment.
-
No sorry this is just silly, a lot of people, mainly young children, use the word lesbian hatefully, this is why its censored, you, being an adult, should know this and not get your panties in a twist over it.
-
Everyone wants to be a snowflake nowadays
-
Don’t let that bother you. Strengthen your core, you are more than just a word. That way, nothing can bother you, especially words. Dust off, and truck on Guardian!
-
I think that’s steam who censors usernames in online only games. Not Bungie. They don’t have a choice in that matter. Bungie is actually super supportive of lgbtq+ and even sponsored and participated in the pride parade in Seattle.
-
Tough Love.
-
If they did allow it, there would probably be a lot of people making some really offensive names that trigger people and would then result in constant banning. Just not worth the trouble. And on some real shit, any name that has to have the word “Lesbian” in it is either gonna be cringe as all -blam!-, or unintentionally funny. Not to mention that you probably get so many unwanted messages.
-
Hahahahahahahaha censorship rules.

Edited by Lord Autismo: 10/3/2019 3:27:56 PMMaybe just change your username? If you're proud of who you are your video game username shouldnt tear apart your reality
