Side note: its best not to put easter eggs in your app, especially when you think no one will see them.
Visiting the link with scripts disabled gives me a "damon is g*y" banner.
Not only can the message be construed as hate speech (could be an inside joke but I'm not "inside") but it could also be that you outed someone who didn't want to be out.

- c-linkage 3y agoI didn't say that I found it to be hate speech, only that it could be interpreted as such.
- bshipp 3y agoWhat is it then?
- valianteffort 3y agoI see it more often being used in place of dumb/wild. I think it's pretty rare that people use it to refer to someone as a homosexual.
- FireInsight 3y agoI don't know what better term to use for people using the term associated with a sexual minority as a term with a negative connotation on people not affiliated with said minority. And "dumb/wild" is just one tame usage, sometimes "gay" is used as an even more generic "this person/thing/action is bad"-word.
- valianteffort 3y agoThe point is that it has nothing to do with homosexuals.
- boondoggle16 3y agoDumb and wild are also slurs, it's not possible to call someone "weird" without using a slur, because all words like "weird" were originally slurs, they have just undergone reputation recycling over the years that we forgot about it.
