Remove "gay" from VOX vocab
#8
The word "gay" on its own is not a negative thing and was not used to describe things negatively here.  Admins are generally trusted to know better than to go around using vox to call things gay in such a way that implies the thing is bad, and AIs granted access to vox can't use "gay" in their messages.  Nothing wonk used vox to say here was implying something was bad.

We can't remove one not offensive term that people claim is offensive and keep another not offensive term that people claim is offensive.

No one has touched the sperghetti/asspie/assburger and as of this moment I'm not aware of anyone planning to do that.  No, the thread popecrunch made asking people to vote on it does not count as him planning to remove or edit those things (he can't, he has no access to the code, he would have to ask a coder to do it for him)
