Title of Suggestion: Make homophobia against the rules.
Description: Rule 1.13 states... :
'1.13 Racism, sexism and discrimination is not allowed OOC and IC.'
This rule does not include the act of homophobia-'Fear of or contempt for lesbians and gay men', or any other type of prejudice.
Discrimination is the way an individual physically acts towards another person or group as a result of their prejudiced view. For example, not letting someone in your roleplay because of their sex or race. This rule also does not cover any other prejudiced views, such as ageism.
Prejudice is a rigid set of attitudes or beliefs towards particular groups of people, which includes name calling.
This rule, in its current form, allows homophobia and ageism to be used in Fearless, which I know many of you will agree with me, isn't right.
Why: It is unethical to refer to someone as a derogatory term for a homosexual person, as is it denying their beliefs and sexual preferences.
It is not fair to the induvidual as they may see themselves as an outsider or outcast if this term is applied to their person.
I find it odd how this has not already been included in the rules.
I find this hard to believe that this was intentional, but hopefully now that I have pointed this out, the rule can be re-worded to include all types of prejudice, not just the two mentioned: racism and sexism.
