I've noticed a disturbing trend ... well, not recently, it was actually already months ago, but I gave the moderators the benefit of the doubt to be responsible enough to do something about it ... anyway, that disturbing trend was started by a user that goes by the name of Basil Z. ... no, that's probably too obvious, so let's call him B. Zero ... what this user did was insult others by calling them a "woman". Subsequently, other people began to pick up on it and soon it became a common cuss word on VGC. Meanwhile, calling something like a game "gay" triggers the banhammer, because homosexuality is portrayed as something horribly bad in such a statement.
While I do see women as lower human beings and thus sympathize with the people who call each other "women", it creates a confusing double standard that is potentially offputting to new members. In other words, we have a problem. I wonder what would happen if, for example, someone said that Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is such a lesbian game. Would the mods apply the homosexuality rule (thus a moderation) or the woman rule (thus let it slide)? Or would it be okay either way as long as one was commenting on a screenshot where Samus's and Zelda's butts touch?
I think this problem should be fixed as soon as possible, because we need more pictures of lesbians on here ... I mean, we need consistent rules for whatever I wrote before this paragraph.
