So apparently the word "homosexual"

gets filtered in game. Sorry that my sexual orientation offends you so much Blizzard. Maybe you should stop hiring your employees straight out of Liberty University.

So it heterosexual, so let's not get into this again.

Why are either of them filtered in the first place?

The word filter IS NOT, and has NEVER been an indication of what IS offensive, it is there simply to filter out words that COULD be used in an offensive way easier than other words.

However, if there is a word that you feel should not be in the filter, but is there, just open a ticket and state as much.

They have also ALREADY acknowledged that CERTAIN words got into the filter erroneously and they are looking for a future patch to fix it.

I thought we were done with these threads after Blizzcon and the mature filter broke?

Jeez.

This is being looked into already.

This. Please check for these things before making a thread.

Homosexual is very likely filtered because it is often used, especially in a community like this, with malicious intent. It is rarely used as merely a descriptive term, but more often used as an insult.

Why heterosexual is censored? Honestly, Blizzard probably foresaw people like the OP who look for discrimination wherever they can, and censored heterosexual to invalidate any "OMG BLIZZ HATES ME" claims.

This issue has already been addressed in another thread:
