We can push the boundaries to cover LGB if you want, but that's the limit before this enters the minefield of Social Justice Warfare.

I have to agree with the LGB thing. I have gay friends and whist they dont play UT,when i see some of the comments that come up I really have to bite my tongue. The "thats gay!" comments i dont find offensive as the players calling others Gay.. as if being gay is a bad thing. I think its all to do with context you use it in. But children will be children and petty name calling always comes about when they dont get their own way or are losing because another player is better than them.
And to be honest if a gay man was playing UT and he didnt like what was being said about his sexuality then I can asure you he is more than capable of bitch-slapping that person back into place.

You just shouldn't bring up such terms in first place, I would think that if you know a bit about the background of those words, you should know what severe meaning they have.
About the other languages, it is being that way so people won't get continious thoughts of "wtf are they talking about" because more people speak english than swedish.
@Eiforia, wasn't dutch on the acceptable-languages as well?
