Yeah we have talked about that, it's really a mix of the two but you can treat it as both

But fun isn't always funny and funny is always fun until someone loses an eye - and then it's hysterical. Arrr!

That's a good point, it linguistically makes sense, it just sounds stupid or childish in my ear to have a 'fun' vote. It just sounds like something from the 1990s lol... that's the main reason I've been dragging my feet about making that change. Maybe that's a dumb reason and I should just do it

I like funny. Steam uses funny also.

Thanks. People seem pretty split. I like funny too, but there are certain things that are actually 'fun' but not 'funny', like a music video for example. I'm really on the fence about it. I guess ideally it'd be "funny/fun" but that's annoying to have both written out I suppose.
