Recent changes in GTA Online moderation now censor words like “meth” and “cocaine” in chat…
…in a game where large portions of the gameplay are focused around selling meth and cocaine.
Is that game even any fun anymore? I stopped playing after the first year or so.
From what I’ve seen the real fun is on the private FiveM servers
I stopped playing too, it would be more fun if it wasn’t as grindy.
Two best examples were:
-
Total War censoring the username Nasser to N***er
-
Gamefreak banning their own Pokemon (Cofagrigus) from online play unless you renamed it first.
My favorite is GTAO having a language filter thats impossible to turn off. The NPC’s will literally yell fuck you when you drive by them but YOU cant say fuck.
Eden ring censored “Knight” to “K***ht” iirc
Dark souls censoring knight with k***ht
Elden Ring censors the word finger
-
I said “finish it” in Genshin chat and it censored it as “Fini** **”
Haha you play Genshin
because the devs just ran their censored words list through google translate instead of paying someone to do proper localization.
Try fingers, but hole
I remember ye-olden days…
“Nice s
hoes!”“Let’s play again on Sa
turday!”“I can play as loud as I want in the ba
sement!”The funny part is that they set up the detection for “hoe” wrong. “Ho” is the insult; “hoe” is a garden tool. Even jeopardy knows it.
RuneScape originally replaced censored words with “cabbage” so a rude message may read “cabbage off newb!” And honestly I feel like that’s the best way to implement a child friendly censor
The thrive community forums did it with the word belgium, inspired by the work of Douglas Adams
Chat censoring should be mostly on the user side with user controlled blacklists and whitelists, with moderator involvement mostly for circumventing the filters.
Don’t want to see “penis”? Put it on your own blacklist.
Ive been downvoted to hell and back for saying that on FFXIVs reddit back in the day
They provide a literal toggle for you to bleep swear words out, yet you can get in trouble for using “fuck” in a way someone can perceive as insulting (which in some cases means using it at all)
It should be fucking illegal to penalize someone by restricting access to paid content like a video game because someone else refused to use features built into that game
Harassment and bypass? Fair game to get someone in trouble, though
But then you have to see penis while writing penis on the blacklist!
But I do wholeheartedly agree. Censorship should be opt-in, and no one should be bowing to government censorship.
Genshin has China-level censoring, with some really bizarre words like ‘tank’ being filtered.
I wonder why
Hong Kong was also censored, haven’t checked recently tho as it could have been changed. Taiwan also censored
Fuck China
I remember when playing roblox a couple years ago, they would censor almost every single romanian word and every single number
Its not even that romanian roblox players are rare, every time i managed to write something in romanian, someone would respond in romanian
Romanians are such Chads
I think you confused the countries. Chad and Romania have really similar flags so its understandable
That was the joke :(
animal crossing on ds censored town board messages client side so if you edited the word list in the rom to be blank you could use a flash cart, join someone else’s town, put whatever profanity you wanted, and they would see it in their town but wouldnt be able to swear in their own game or anyone else’s.
Black K***ht, of Dark Souls
Or butter being censored as ****er
Arguably making it much worse
It is just worse, and I don’t know how someone could argue it isn’t.
I was playing The Finals and apparently LMAO gets censored, it made me look like an asshole!
Did the Finals finally get text chat? I remember getting annoyed that I couldn’t yell at my teammates when they played like morons.
Great cropping job
but thats a part of the joke
I guess I just don’t get it
It’s the screenshot equivalent of a TV show cutting to the next scene the moment a punchline lands — usually a stronger and more “taboo” punchline that followed up in the dramatic pause after a previous more light-hearted punchline.
