<removed>Also someone said "<removed>" and it was allowed
Since when is "Gay" a "racial, homophobic, or sexist slur" anyways?

First, please don't repost removed content. We removed it for a reason. Reposting it opens you up to having another action taken against your account. Moderators have full access to your removal history so we don't need you repeating it here to know what was removed or why.
Second, as Kei143 stated above, context is everything in this case. You're using a word in a negative, homophobic way. Normally that type of removal is a direct 7 day suspension. Instead you were given a warning because we recognize that this wasn't an egregious use.
That being said, it was still the correct action in regards to your post and the context.
Gay when used alone is not a homophobic slur.
The context you used it in is commonly used as a method to insult others through homophobic slurs.
This is a similar case to "Fuck, I missed a skill shot" and "Fuck you, land a skill shot", where the first one is an expression against oneself's incompetence and the second is a direct insult to others.
