[APPEAL] "Gay Rights" not allowed as my currency

Postby Radocte » Sun Feb 17, 2019 10:32 pm

I would link something for this if I could, but nothing is relevant for it.

For some reason, mine and the rest of my region's currency is not allowed to be set as "Gay Rights" for some reason. I understand the rules in place; "Gay Rights" isn't trolling, inflammatory, obscene, illegal, threatening, malicious, defamatory, or spam for that matter. Regardless of this fact, we aren't able to set it as our currency. While I understand what a previous mod has said in our RMB about human groups not being allowed (gay, democrats, republicans, etc.) for the fact that it is dehumanizing, this doesn't apply to "Gay Rights", as a term like that explicitly implies my nation is tremendously LGBT friendly. Especially considering my flag and my region, which would make it very hard to interpret it as homophobia. I'm just not seeing a reason why "Gay Rights" can't be allowed as a currency under the current ruling, especially when currencies such as "reichdollars" and similar politically opposite currencies can exist. I just want to have a silly, jokey currency similar to "burgers" or "boogers".

You have already exhausted your initial appeal. Please review our appeals process. Given initial appeals for gameside actions do not belong on the forums, and given final appeals do not belong on the forums at all, you have exhausted all but the aforementioned final appeal, which you may file via GHR. Please note:

Additionally, as has been explained repeatedly to members of your region:
A nation's customizable fields (name, animal, motto, currency, flag, etc) are held to a much higher standard than forum posts or RMB posts. This is because unlike a forum post, they lack any clarifying content. That is why people can't have "gay" as a currency or national animal, because that basically reads as "gays are animals" or "gays are dehumanized exchangable goods." (Replace "gay" with pretty much any other IRL group, such as Jews, democrats, republicans, Muslims, Christians, furries, etc, and the same applies.)
