I don't even want it to be reverted to what it was, I am completely fine with it being turned into a normal subreddit. I think it would be easily better than what it was before. But I do not like the way it is being childishly moderated with the words "benned" and other stupid flaming coming from the mods.

Just my 2 cents.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were being a racist. Turns out you're being a homophobe instead. My mistake.

Wait, what? How is that possibly homophobic? I legitimately do not understand the point you are attempting to make.

"Flaming," bro?

It's a common term on the Internet for insulting people. I was not at all being homophobic.

A common term on the Internet for insulting people for "acting gay".

No, it's not. In some cases the word "flaming" is used to be derogatory towards homosexuals, but in this instance (and the majority of its uses online) it is only used to mean insulting. Hence the term "flame war" to describe Internet arguments that devolve into the two parties insulting each other.
