You are victimizing yourself over nothing.

Multiple people have already explained it is not meant to be an insult and I too only know the term from WoW for alt characters or characters who have better gear than usual for low levels +enchants and gems for PVP etc.

No point in getting upset when everyone is telling you they are not insulting you or anyone else with the term.

I still don’t agree with you at all. I think these kinds of terms come off as slurs, because of where the word comes from. If I hear a bunch of straight people using a gay term in another way, the first thing I’m going to do is evaluate my safety. Often they use our words in aggressive manners.

It only became a slur when someone suggested it was
Prove it is...or move on.
If you think it is..then report it...and move on.

Point being...move on.

*And for the record....its obvious it's not the case because as everyone has cited/referenced/indicated - its a wowcraft term. - Personally I call them "toons"*

Not even WoW. It was around long before that.

Your evalution in this case should have come to the conclusion that:
1) You are not in any danger - partly because this is a forum on the internet and because the OP wasnt specifically refering to you at all
2) The term wasnt used in an aggressive manner
3) The OP most likely wasnt aware that the term had a second meaning - just how you werent aware that the term has a second meaning. As far as I know its a very common term for alt-characters in the german MMO-slang - I knew what the term meant in that regard before I played an MMO at all. In this context I'd like to remind you how the forum guidelines ask us all to keep in mind that people are coming from different backgrounds - in this case, the OP is german and used the term in the way he knows it. The appropriate reaction in regards to the forum guidelines to me seems to be: "Oh, okay, didnt know that - no insulted intended, non taken, lets move on!"
You're trying to make yourself a victim here, when you werent attacked... I might overstep boundaries here, because I dont know you, but: Is that really the life you want to live? Seeing insults and threats everywhere you go even though there might be non, like in this case?

I'm dying :joy: Please give me more to share with my FC. My gay FC mate is boggled by your over sensitivity and inability to take words in context.

You can think that all you want still does not make it so. I get it personally bothers you but still does not give you a reason to derail the thread.

It makes sense when you take a peek at the thread and post history of certain forum goers. That may tip you off as to what, exactly, is going on here.

Oh my god. Okay I'm only going to feed into your drama this one and final time - and this is coming from another GAY man. You are talking as if you're speaking for all straight people using that term in an "aggressive" manner. As I've said it doesn't matter what we are, if you're a nice person that's all that matters. NOT all straight people are like that, idk what kind of experiences you've had and I'm not attacking you but you need to reevaluate your outlook if you're this sensitive to something as little as what's been blown out of proportion. From the sounds of it you're making that judgement on ALL straight people.

As a straight person, I’ve never even heard of this word. But please tell me more about how I use “your words” in “aggressive manners”.
