@daza231Just for the record, i don't condone harassment or toxicity..
But, and a very big but... I agree with freedom of speech and you have the freedom to insult, just as they have the freedom to be insulted, ignore or mute. Games usually have a filter to block such things but as you said there is an age rating of PEGI 16 because of violence and even recently they posted to p.i.s.s off on official twitter but AHQ would censor that as * which is a ''do as i say but not as i do'' double standard...
Someone complained recently for being banned saying an R word which was previously used as a medical term. No warning but an outright 7 day ban.. Now the problem is, at what point do you stop. If you stub your toe then you're bound to say f word, just as you might in game occasionally as we're human making mistakes and/or passionate, so to suspend or ban someone for this is overbearing moderation and sets a precedent for removing all forms of banter in the future. which would make gaming, especially for adults, pretty boring in case you say something which someone else is offended by. Which could literally be anything...
I think it's bs and more people need to speak out on this.
Edit: Just to clarify, if this was a game recommended for minors then that would be different for obvious reasons.
