It's getting banned, because it's getting reported. It's getting reported because it can be deemed risque by some. Something tells me you know darn well why it's getting reported.
Also, this isn't an issue for #help and may get better traction by changing your tag to #feedback.

No, we have no idea why it was being reported. It’s not an issue that should have arisen, either. There is hardly anything risqué or suggestive in the title, and Lesbian is a sexual orientation. A clan like, say, Vex Offenders however, would be considered suggestive or Risqué.
-
I'm having a difficult time understanding that you can't see how "Mara's Lesbian Bungalo" isn't suggestive or risque.
-
Mara is Bisexual. Sjur Eido was her lover, as was Shaxx. A bungalow is a type of building, in which people often reside. It’s literally saying a gathering of gay people. There is nothing risqué or vulgar about it.

Sooo...your reply here got me thinking and I looked up slang meanings for bungalow. Let's just say, you probably don't want that in your search history.
-
Why exactly do I not want “A low house, with a broad front porch, having either no upper floor or upper rooms set in the roof, typically with dormer windows.” In my search history?
-
I said [b][i]slang[/i][/b] meanings for the word bungalow. I [b][i]will not[/i][/b] repeat here what those meanings are. The only reason I searched was because you got me genuinely intrigued as to why somebody may find the clan name mentioned offensive.

Would you mind sending a link?

Would you mind sending me a link then?
-
I absolutely will not. If you wish to know what I found, you can search it on your own.
-
If you won’t send credible evidence, or provide any source at the least, what proof do you have?
-
Okay, at this point you are phishing and have been reported for such. Have a good day.
-
I asked you for proof of what you were talking about and you refuse to cite any evidence.

Go to urban dictionary dot com and enter bungalow in the search bar.
-
I admire your adventurousness. Good luck to you. I wasn't touching that one any further.
-
I went as far as I was going to go.

You’re citing Urban Dictionary as a source?

for slang terms, yes. That is literally what it is. [quote]Urban Dictionary is a crowdsourced online dictionary for slang words and phrases[/quote]

Thank you for giving a source, man. I appreciate it.

[quote]Mara is Bisexual. Sjur Eido was her lover, as was Shaxx.[/quote] Whoa! Shaxx nailed Mara?!?! He's one of the lucky two sumb+(hes in the Destiny universe.
-
Wasn’t this the “helmet stayed on” encounter?
-
I honestly don't know 😂 I'm just shocked Shaxx got a piece of that 😂.

While you may see it as that, others may not. Everyone has the right to be offended by whatever they are offended by. Many players may not want any reference to sexuality in the game. Your references are not directly found in game so most players do not have that same reference point. To some, your clan name is in the same class as vex offenders. Actually if you really pushed the issue, vex offenders could be considered more acceptable based on there was an in game mode called the vex offensive, while there is not an in game lesbian bungalow.

The name “Vex Offenders” has been around for a long time. In fact, the original name was “Registered Vex Offenders,” and it may still exist. It is obviously a joke about a Sex Offender, which is [b][i]MUCH WORSE.[/i][/b]Furthermore. While the topic itself may not be seen in actual cutscenes or gameplay, it is stated in lore tabs collected with WishEnder and the Dreaming City that Mara has had a female lover at least once. This is Canon. It is also Canon that Mara and Shaxx were at least once, planning to be together. Go take a look at the Vow for in game evidence on that one. Regardless of the issue of the name, is it okay to censor a name because it contains a term for gay people? Is that really what you’re arguing for? Yikes, dude.
-
If someone finds it offensive and reports it, yes it is okay. Just like it was okay when the clan you keep referencing had to go through various versions of that name when they were reported and had the name banned.

[quote]Regardless of the issue of the name, is it okay to censor a name because it contains a term for gay people? Is that really what you’re arguing for? Yikes, dude.[/quote] I am not arguing for anything other than one's right to be offended. Welcome to the real world, not everyone is going to see things the way you do, nor are they required to. While I may not be offended by it, I can see how some might be. Some people may not want sexuality of any sort visible in the game, that is their right. They were offended, they clicked the button. Obviously, your choice of clan name did in fact offend people, Bungie is doing their part it trying to make the game world as inoffensive as possible.
