    Surely you understand the irony in this statement.
    You just made an absolute blanket statement.

    Is your claim incorrect or do absolute blanket statments have merit?
    Either answer is acceptable.

    Yeah, a room full of people, passively watching an orc do a /rude emote might conclude that.
    But, in the moors; an atmosphere of competition, taunting, trash-talking etc.., it has a different connotation.
    A sex based emote is still sex based even if used as a taunt.
    You added an atmosphere of competition but you didn't change the meaning of the emote at all.
    A sexual emote meant as a taunt is still a sexual emote.

    If you want a rude taunt many are available - many that don't have the sexual overtones.
    If it is really about having a rude taunt, it's easy enough to replace.

    Standard company procedures,
    handled on a case by case basis.

    The CoC; learn to love it
    It's what keeps everyone in line, not opinion-based petitions.
    I'd rather not see someone banned.
    Even though I personally detest the emote I don't care to see someone lose an account over it.

    Regarding opinion based petitions, it's how most real life laws come into being and they have an impact on every aspect of this game from class balance to items offered in the store. I'm not sure why so many people take offense at opinion threads on a suggestion forum - that puzzles me more than the rude emote.
