Upper boards. He made a question on how to disable gays in the game (might raise some eyebrows, but otherwise OK), but then made some homophobic/transphobic remarks. That's how I remember it, you may ask Toady for details.

Neither, really. They'd made a total of some 4-5 threads asking DF-related questions that are answered on the Wiki, and I believe one comment in a thread that he hadn't started. The final help-thread was one asking how to mod the gay away, because DF's homosexuality incidence rate was unrealistically high, and the resulting swarm of psychologically (or just psychic, in his own words) disturbed degenerates was simply too much. Was also trying to remove transsexuals, which a few members thought might be a misunderstanding of just how lackadaisical dwarves are about their clothing choices.

Mmmmm I saw that last thread, he said he wanted to mod the gay away because he didn't want to "play a modern tolerant ***". Even typed out the ***.

Was a bit off, but he must gone too far.

He went further after that, as Kagus said. And he presumably ignored Toady's warnings.

Hey, I was against Teh Gays in DF. It just doesn't fit the Dwarven mould IMO. Any more than making them pansexuals would.

You could still introduce it for the elves, but then people outside DF would see the high gay death rate and get rather PCed.

This is a rabbit hole that can not possibly go awry.

Anyway I like my favorite dwarves to make babies so I turn off orientation tags. Doesn't fix-ster in DFhack basically do that, though?

[Kagus]

The big thing was more just his rant about "deviants" and their harmful effects on society at large, despite only "one in 12,000" individuals displaying such kinds of degeneracy.

I set the amount of children to an absolute cap of 10. There are already a lot of slackers in my fortresses, so I don't want a lot of children running around and doing nothing.

How can you even be homosexual if you reproduce entirely through spores? (It's been a long time since I've last played DF, I just remember that dwarves never needed physical contact with a partner to produce children. I don't know if that's been changed in recent updates.)

[Khan Boyzitbig]

It was changed yes.

Very carefully.
