Why Do You Have the Mature Language Filter Turned Off?

[Shakou]

Me personally I think at first it was just so I could see my own expletives in chat when I typed them out because it just was not satisfying to know whether or not the filter actually masked your language to other people when you used profanity in game.

This is such a hot topic these days and inquiring minds want to know, so remember folks sharing is caring!

[Schattenlied]

Because I'm not a liberal college student who needs a safe space ;D

Because it censors the stupidest shit ever (like the word "weniger", "less" in german).

Also - I can handle "bad words". :P

[Shakou]

I suppose I might also ask, can one really claim that language is offensive when you made the choice to turn the mature language filter off? The default position is on. Afterall.

[Gestopft]

Because very little offends me, and because the mother $%&#ing filter doesn't do *&%$ anyway. I mean really, you're more likely to know what's behind the filter than not, right?

I was recently a liberal college student and never needed one of those.

Is this what you meant? I'm not sure but I think so. Funny it would block those words.

[Aeriedk]

Because its just a word. They are simply another formed of expression deemed extra bad by society.

Oh oh oh I got a better one! Why doesn't Blizzard simply remove the option to turn off the mature language filter instead of wasting resources punishing players for chat violations?

Because my guild is full of adults and we tend to use profanity in select situations to emphasize our language.

"They're camping the respawn." vs "They're FUCKING camping the GOD DAMN respawn."

[MORGATH99]

cause im a mature person and i can take those words and not make a whole mess of em

[Shaede]

because there's a difference between "oh shit! that was fucking hard" and "you're a piece of shit and should kill yourself".

they have to unban words for every language

why should they do it ? why would you need someone to decide for you what you can read or not ?

[snackfeat]

Because I'm not a little bitch.

[Torgent]

Your poll options are fucking stupid. I do it because I hate seeing "Lolol **** you! You're a ***** ******."

I'm not scared of the naughty words, so I'd much rather see them than have my chat filled with ******************************************* *********** ************* #$R# @#$%T @#%@

[Gum]

because i dont think censoring anything is the right move.

[Asotcha]

I'm gonna go with the reason "I'm a grown-ass woman and I don't pass out when someone cusses, so keep that Q-bert text box'Sh#t' away from me."

[Kaleredar]

I leave it on because people going ape-shit angry is rendered extremely hilarious when all you see is a bunch of jumbled characters.

"YOU %&*^ING CHEAP PEICE OF #*$( EATING $#& SUCKING (*$@! LICKER DIP !@*# NO SKILL! *$%&ING TRYHARD SOMEWHERE ELSE YOU @#$(% FILLED PIECE OF !@# NUGGET!"

I make a little game out of trying to decipher what they meant.

[Ragedaug]

I leave the filter on so it makes it easier to see who to report. Don't know how much good it does, but sometimes I'm bored.

[Jellospally]

Because there is no point? Its a fucking word who cares. Even like 8 year olds are used to them now it doesn't matter its just another word.

Because I'm a grown man, not a little girl.
