Chat filter is being abused for homophobic and transphobic purposes, please change.

I mean - I’m interpreting that particular filter as a way to catch some FC or local club ads that might be cluttering their respective chat boxes. Doubtful it’s a malicious act at all.

That's what I thought of when I saw it too. Also to the OP, why you trying to control what people can and cannot see in their video game? if someone doesn't want to see sentences with "LGBT" that is up to them and not you.

It is not OK if people don't want to see sentences with "LGBT". You can filter RP venues with other phrases like "discord.gg", "18+". Filtering "LGBT" just shows what kind of person you are.

Why do you assume this? There's posts in this very thread that make it plenty clear that people might just wanna get rid of the advertisements that aren't targeted toward them anyways. And if they are that kind of person, why would you even desire to force them to engage with you; because that's not gonna be a happy conversation obviously if it happens.

So either you are baiting and trolling here like some others are saying here or you just apparently live for the drama and potential contention.

So is this the world you want to live in?

I guess you'll be OK if one day we can block people IRL and everyone just blocks LGBT folks?

Haha what kind of hyperbole unrealistic comparison is this. My goodness. You may need to take a step back and breathe or something because that's not what i'd call a sensible response. I gave you very fair reasons why someone might want to filter the word and you jump to this.

Do I really need to say that no, that's not the world I want to live in or that that's going to happen just because FFXIV allowed people to filter a four letter word? It's unrealistic, and if you're seriously concerned about that becoming a thing then you could do with some relaxation and maybe some re-evaluating.
