The Sims 4 release did not allow players to enter words like “gay” and “queer” and “transgender” into the name or description of Sim characters. EA, the maker of the Sims, responded quickly to the issue, promising it was unintentional and caused by the automated filtering program and they would have it resolved ASAP.
Sims fans are optimistic they will follow through because the Sims has a long history of being queer-friendly. In fact, the Sims 4 was slapped with an “adults only” rating in Russia because of Russia’s anti-gay laws.
