Blizzard Entertainment, censorship and you

At what point did the need for a safe space enter the gaming industry?

In games that have integrated profanity filters, the ability to block people AND just ignore what's being said - how can they justify censoring someone for an extended period of time?

How can we combat this?

>I can't communicate to other twats via a vidyagumz
>muh oppression
Literally SJW tier.

op got brutally and savagely rekt

"When free speech was taken away from gamers - I didn't care, because I was not a gamer.

When free speech was taken away from journalists - I didn't care, because I was not a gamer.

When free speech was taken away from everybody - I cared, because I was one of them, but it was already too late."


You need to open your eyes to the bigger picture here.

no one cares faggot, try playing the game instead of acting like a fag and throwing

You're just wrong, man.
Think about the poor souls who have to deal with your bullshit.

First they came for the racists - I didn't care because I wasn't a racist
Then they didn't come for anyone else because life's not a slippery slope.

>supporting a company that supports safe spaces
You got what you deserve

>I didn't read the TOS and thought my asinine shittalking would be okay in a game literal children play

You have no idea what I said.

I said three lines of text (and that's all):

"With a team of 5 premade on our side, one would think you idiots would manage to organize better."

"I wish our team had the same amount communication as the other fuckers do, then maybe we'd get somewhere."

"If you're not going to try to win and give me that "ur a tryhard m8" attitude, then I'll rather feed and let them win."


That's it. The problem is that the system is 100% automated, which means that X amount of reports results in a "Silence" no matter how legit it is.

In addition to that, there are no reviews by an actual human being in cases like these, and the "Silences" double in duration each time.

Moreover if you ask the devs about what this "hate speech" is, they say that it's "ANYTHING that SOMEONE finds offensive".


It's part of a bigger problem, and I'm not the only one noticing this. Google it if you don't believe me.

>Private company
>Free speech
Dumbass

>Implying that a private company gets to dictate what Constitutional rights that does and does not apply.

That might be the case over in Cuck Central (aka the United States of Obama), but in Norway that would be punishable under our laws.

I agree with you HOWEVER the system is all automated. This means that no matter what you do even if you are shitting on faggots all day and everyone reports you for being too good you'll get banned. Same shit if you talk shit constantly but never get reported you won't be muted.


I've been muted about 4 times now all because some little kids thought I was playing bad or they didn't like me for mocking there little beaner accents. I'm 30 btw and I love mocking niggers and beaners.

>I wuz gud boy i din du nuffin

Literally nigger tier, get out.

What kind of people do you think buy that game?

Why would you want to even play with them in the first place?

Wait, are you paying Blizzard for their multiplayer service or is it free? The last video game i played is picrelated so be kind.

>Conflating censorship with chat bans in games.

>Playing overmeme

>playing vidya

Some of us actually have friends, and it's actually quite enjoyable to play with them.

Oh I didn't know you already knew it was automated. Shouldn't have made a thread about it on Sup Forums should have went to Sup Forums with it. The more apt to get support defending Milo from his twitter ban here.

Add me on blizzard proxy0#1586 I may even let you in on my personal mumble where only about 4 people come into chat.

What did you get banned for faggot? I play overwatch and i said like multiple times words like nigger, kike, faggot, subhuman. No one ever cared or reported me.

Because they're a private company 1 and 2 if you want a game's community to go to shit let them say whatever retard thought pops into their head without consequence case in point EVERY MOBA community

You can hit the reply button and call them a bunch of liberal cunts.

You're a retard. Even this site doesn't have free speech

>I said multiple times words like*

Op is a ragebabby please get off your "free speech" high horse, you where probably the cause of the team being shit because you're an offensive black widow or the like. Next time get good and quit your bitching. Perhaps learn to play as well.

You got banned for telling them you were going to feed.

Generally they only pull that plug when someone is being an obvious asshole such as "I'm not getting my way, so I'm going to purposely fuck up the game."

Which you did.

If you can't play with the randomness of pugs, don't play games that put you on a team with other people.

Play fighters/ 1v1 arena shooters. Only person you can get mad at then is yourself.

Sounds to me like you're just a toxic player. point and case being that you felt the need to come on Sup Forums to look for support and enabling

...

Fuck your socialist country you fucking nigger

You were never allowed to call people niggers in online gaming.
A business will not damage their reputation.

Are we being raided or something?

remember when blizzard were kinda cool?

I deserved that :p

>fuckers
That's a banning fucker! Think of the children's dainty ears!

You should know leaf that shitposting (or shit talking) at 30+ is great fun.

$40 multiplayer video game where you mess with little boys and girls

>you were going to feed
Go play dota or whatever shitty MOBA game you fucking retards play.

Shills and it seems normie redditors or something for this past month its been a shithole

Am i the only one who wants to know exactly what it is OP said to get banned? Before we make judgement either way we should atleast have all of the facts.

It's like people, all of a sudden, forgot about the mute button or the block button.

But I have to agree with everyone here, you kinda asked for it for a company that bows down to SJWs when Tracer's ass is visible.

From someone on Sup Forums

We've been under constant siege for a while now.

Trump is winning so hard, these fuckers are in full overtime desperation TEAR IT DOWN mode.

you're there to play the game

not spout alt right rhetoric and racism no one cares about you dumb shits

Better get used to it, my next silence on HotS will be 32 days after enough cucks report me for nothing because Blizzard believes in making their users so paranoid that communication is dangerous.

The worst part is how they can't fucking tell you what you said that broke the rules. You just get a "We've looked into the matter and consider it resolved. Don't forget to preorder Legion!"

>my echochamber doesn't agree with me!
>must be paid shills and not pol being a dumbass!

Why? I'm going to spout whatever the fuck I want specially at little kids who were born in 2009 who've had there mommies coddle them there entire lives. You know if I knew more children IRL i'd call them fucking idiots here as well might even smack them around some.

Fucking aussie shitposter

nice proxy CTR

"i'll rather feed and let them win" Were the words used by the person i was responding to.

If you happen to be too lazy to follow conversations and context clues is their post.

Have a good day user.

It's just the company saying "play nice because you're scaring away our customers."

>((((Blizzard))))

How would you expect anything less?

>Gamer

Die in a grease fire faggot.

I'm hoping to get silenced forever at this point so I can go back to playing CSGO.

>How can we combat this?

You're playing their game on their servers. You can't do shit.

>can't handle the banter

>Be left wing atheist
>Come to pol for debates because these guys aren't complete douchebags that you need to tiptoe around every word to avoid offence
>Notice that the general quality of posts has dropped and more people are just being outright insulting than even trying to be witty or clever
>Wonder if people other than those I am used to are posting here
I'm not going to ask if you get paid per hour, but it's quite clear that you're not from here else you'd be aware that most people are here explicitly because it isn't an echo chamber.

And here's another example, it's nice that you're so bad at blending in with the board that you miss all the nuances.

I got banned from WoW for asking if anyone wanted to see a picture of my dead grandpa's penis. We're in the same boat as far as I care.

literally git gud

We're all originally from Sup Forums you shill.
Not all the boards of 4ch love Trump's campaign.
Sup Forums is not one person.

>hurrr yall are fokkin niggers m8

>At what point did the need for a safe space....


eat your week ban you dumbass
It's not the end of the world.

I don't have to justify myself to you. I have my vices like everyone else.

growing up playing starcraft/warcraft 3/diablo 2 i remember it didn't really matter who you played with, people were generally respectful/ didn't go out of their way to shittalk

getting into cs after that, and having virtually every single insult imaginable hurled at me was extremely formative, and i think other people could use this kind of berating. people's skin is not nearly thick enough these days

Diabolical numbers checked.

You're also 100% correct.

>leaf
Sorry m8 stop fucking lying. People stick to those boards because they get to fucking triggered on Sup Forums. Go back to whatever shithole you think agrees with your garbage.

Did he talk about all of Sup Forums you dumb fucking leaf?

>Heroes of the storm
>Another Blizz game
>General chat is as red pilled as Sup Forums board

Overwatch is different tho. Its attracted all the normie crowd who don't like "waycism"

I know a major overwatch youtuber got offended at nigger being said in a game and he made a video about it and urged Blizzard to bring in censorship rules.

youtube.com/watch?v=skWzi3o4oGI

This guy proves that the Silence is 100% automated and bans you even if you're not breaking the rules. Interesting, huh?

>company caring about banter and not customers

It's a company, not a government, fuck off troll.

>debating against a strawman that you made yourself and isn't accurate

classic Sup Forums arguing against yourself. I've been here since /news/

you nu/pol/ fags are just retards who get butthurt at people who don't hugbox

remember when you were a kid and you went to gaming because everything else was shit? stop being a faggot normie who brings the shit to games.

How exactly do you know if the other two posters that I linked are or aren't from here?

And if you're not from here why are you trying to adopt the language of the board when trying to insult people?

Newfags don't realize this

AYKM

>i'm going to shitpost alot about "nu/pol/" but when someone calls me out on it nu/pol/'s a hug box and a safe space
even you, you mindless fucking moron, have to see how fucking assbackwards retarded that is
the worst part is i know your posts are bait and people keep falling for them hook line and sinker

Actually 2 major youtubers complained about "mean words" being used in Overwatch.

Its laughable watching men in their 20s get triggered over fucking words yet do nothing when a Muslim slaughters droves of people.

havent played online competitive games since CS 1.6, but I am pretty sure that saying that you will feed the other team is a bannable offence

>CENSORSHIP
>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>I CANT SHOUT NIGGER OUT INTO A PUB SERVER

Fuck off
A private company can do whatever the fuck it pleases you fucking child.
A cake shop can deny making you a faggot cake, a private service can deny allowing you to continue being a faggot.

The government has had no hand in "censoring" your ass, you just don't feel like listening to the rules YOU FUCKING AGREED TO YOU DUMB CUNT.

Fuck, is this the kind of stupid Sup Forums infects these days?

>you nu/pol/ fags are just retards who get butthurt at people who don't hugbox
No idea what you are talking about retard.

>remember when you were a kid and you went to gaming because everything else was shit? stop being a faggot normie who brings the shit to games.

I played multiplayer games all the fucking time and NEVER got banned/silenced as much as I do now. Even back then kids used to shit on me and vise versa now everything is so god damn politically correct and "CHILD FRIENDLY" bullshit.

Let me reemphasize
You signed and agreed to a contract
You broke the rules
You got banned
Kill youself you dumb nignog

It's a mixed bag. Just giving players a mute option should be enough, but some people are just obnoxious pieces of shit online.

This.

It's all about the safe space.

When WoW was maybe a year old, I got my first account permabanned for calling someone a fat cunt. I was so furious that you could report someone AFTER turning off the adult language filter. Fuck blizzard. They have always been cucks.

>NEVER got banned/silenced as much as I do now.
The technology just wasn't there yet.

>overwatch

die

Chances are that person put out too much red meat for the other team, so they reported his ass claiming homophobic and racial epithets. They didn't report him because they are SJWs but because they hate the cunt on the other team taunting them.

Blizzard wants an environment with less toxicity for monetary reasons so they went ahead with the silencing.

I don't know about league but most games have a high tolerance with racist comments. In Dota you can all people niggers repeatedly and tell them to kill themselves in the most lurid ways and you won't get banned/silenced. The only way for it to happen is to do it several games in a row and make it a daily occurrence.

Back in 2004 I got my WoW account banned for making a black human paladin called "Brownies" that was a member of the guild "Goebbels and Friends".

Took them about 12 hours from char creation until the perm-ban hit.

>safe space
This is why the fall of America impacts everyone.

Pretty sure this whole "safe space" bullshit originated here. It is the legacy of the Democrats and it's what people voted for when they elected Obama and what they are voting for when they vote for Hillary: another 4 years of wounded-left-wing thinking.

This is why you should care if Trump wins.

America will continue to be a big game producer either way but if Democrat thinking continues to filter down from on high, you will find more and more of their thinking making its way into your mainstream.

I guarantee you that the big reason that we have more of this type of shit is because more females coming into games even if that is a 5% increase.


That's some bullshit most games that I used to play were all on servers that had admins/mods that let people ban/kick/silence. Oh and they let people join servers managed by people who had NO RULES for calling peoples names. Now we have managed games by people who won't allow you to play the game on a server without censorship.

>unironical image macro

kys urself my man

Oh, I do care, senpai.

>pic related

What did you actually say to get banned?

It should come as no surprise that a Bulgarian shit poster couldn't grasp the irony of the meme.

Solution: Don't play Blizzard's shit games.

>Some of us actually have friends

They don't sound like very good friends if they reported you.

You got the game just to play with your friends right?

>valve
Valve is one of the last companies that allows that sort of shit. CSGO you'll NEVER get banned but reddit retards keep trying to get them to do something about it. Hopefully they never will.

>At what point did the need for a safe space enter the gaming industry?
When online gaming marketed towards minors became a thing.
Don't like it? Play a game for adults. RTS's, Path of Exile, Dota, games like these have older playerbases and are typically too demanding for the little bastards, which is why they don't have anything resembling the moderation that a Blizzard game has.

...

Please actually kill yourself

>OP gets silenced for being an antisocial dickhead in some game
>Instead of cancelling his subscription and playing a game with private servers, he comes to Sup Forums to shitpost for free

EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE SHOULD ACCOMMODATE ME! GIMME A HOT POCKET MOM

I got the game to fuck your mom. It worked leaf I made her smother me with all that maple syrupy goodness while your dad sat in the corner with his mountie hat on gripping his tiny micro-cock.

The thing is that a mute option actually has drawbacks in a team game. Once you're sure the person has muted you, you can spend the rest of the game telling the other team where he is for cheap laughs.
