Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Forums can be a unforgiving and treacherous place, something that Star Wars: The Old Republic posters and administrators are finding out. Censorship happens in some form nearly everywhere but the latest SWTOR censorship has managed to step on a few toes, those toes being that of the homosexual community.

BioWare has spent the last couple of days in hot water with the homosexual community, thanks to banning certain words from their forums. Kotaku recently reported that the company locked threads dealing with homosexuality in The Old Republic, and censored the words "gay," "lesbian," and "homosexual."
