Is it okay to discuss the fruit if you use the word "plantain?"

It is generally considered derogatory to refer to people as "fruit", mainly because of how it was used in the past. I would say that you should call people by whatever terms they prefer to be called. If you would like the most acceptable terminology, you should ask in the LGBTA+ thread over in Friendly Banter.

Edit for those who will now be seeing this out of context: Someone, for some reason, decided to tell Pokemon-freak89 that the word "bananas" was prohibited. No, it wasn't a moderator :P. In the theme of miscommunication they were having at the time, I decided to run with it rather than call out the gullibility, while at the same time hopefully promoting at least a small message of acceptance in the mind of those reading the thread.
