Then we should take out all emotes and all chat, as it can be abused by those who wish to abuse them. The point is, there's nothing in-game right now that couldn't be abused in some manner to disrespect other players...cutting off one's nose to spite one's face, after-all.
This is why we have a report function.
If you were to show a /pushup emote to a room full of people they'd understand it to be a pushup.
If you were to show an orc /rude emote to a room full of people they'd understand it to be a sex based insult.
It's true that the /pushup emote can be abused, but it's the abuse of an emote that is otherwise unoffensive.
It's true that the orc /rude emote can be abused, but it's the abuse of an emote that is inherently sexual and offensive.
To those that would report:
How do you punish someone for using a sex based emote to mimic oral sex?
Wouldn't it be like banning someone for using the /pushup emote to mimic excercise?
Seriously, let's just find a fun replacement for it and move on already.
