so you mean they can use coded language to spread hate without being discovered?

Almost like a dog whistle, that only some can hear...



I mean, ok... Is saying "fuck!" spreading hate? what about "you asshole!"? Sometimes humans just express their emotion using words. It isn't always about race. Gaming in particular evokes lots of emotions and always has. Personally I don't like when words are scrambled such as the case with Rocket League, because as someone else pointed out, you end up with barely being able to say anything without some part of it being scrambled. But I can understand the motivations for a company to do such a thing.


That is a disingenuous comparison and you know it. Calling some an asshole vs calling them a racial slur are not in the same ballpark.

That you don't think you can communicate without swearing and slurs says more about you and gaming culture than it does about censorship.


If only very few understood it they just sound dumb and can’t spread the ideas.
