Octane inappropriate

You need to rewrite half of octanes voice Lines as they seem to be promoting self harm this is not appropriate in any context let alone in a game that children play

    @CaptainObvi0us_7 Never heard of or seen that before, but it doesn't surprise me.

    Looking back at this thread, I see @Hilshire12 misquoted a few lines of Octanes.

    Firstly: "You think I'm afraid of you? I blew off my own legs!"
    Secondly: "Don't worry about my legs getting tired. I made sure that will never happen again! [laughs]"
    Lastly: "Don't worry, I've got a prosthetics guy who can replace, well, everything."

    First one refers to how Octane ran the gauntlet using grenades (A titanfall reference to speed runners who used grenades as a boost). He's implying that he wasn't afraid of something that could kill him, so why should he ever fear you?

    Second one refers to how he decided to replace his legs with robotic ones. I've read part of his lore that implied that he could of waited for his actual legs to heal, but decided that the function they served was less than what robotic ones could do.

    While the last one is more of a *joke*, referring to how he got his legs replaced, and that he could get you fixed up too. Since, well... you've "died" to Octane.

    TBH, other legends have hidden jokes that aren't "for children", like Mirage's "Come back if you're ever looking for a Mirage à trois. That's where you fight three of me at once. Pretty sure that's what that means."

    Hint: It's NOT what he thinks it means.

    Again the world has went completely soft. The cartoons your kids watch are worse then anything this game has voice emotes. Even children animation movies now have sexual remarks and cuss words and meanings you know no child should see.

    @Zeelmaekers Man, I am scratching my head over these SWJs, they already took nice stuff from game b/c of them. Octane is a crazy stunt-master. I suggest this use watch stunt-masters do irl. Can mod delete these threads?
  • @Hilshire12Apex Legends isn’t meant to be a kids game, its rated Teen for a reason

    If you havn’t noticed Octaine has mecanical legs... when he talks about blowing off his own legs that what he means... its not like hes talking about blowing his brains out or something along those lines

  • Self-harming has been a thing long before Apex. Just saying. Octane is fine as he is.

    @Hilshire12 

    Some other voice lines in the game that you can go to war against =)

    Hoping to meet your maker? They don't exist (triggering for religious people)

    Science rules all. With its help, we will too (triggering for Trump supports)

    You thought we were equals. Foolish. (triggering for sexists )
