Rainbow Six Siege players who use slurs are now getting instantly banned

So you're trying to tell me that swearing/using profanity somehow makes you a bigot?

No, using bigoted slurs makes you a bigot. Again, normal folks who don't hold bigoted views aren't doing this. When I get mad I'll curse up a storm for sure, but I can't remember the last time I started dropping racist/sexist/homophobic/etc., angry or not.

"Deal with it" is not an argument.

...is this not the literal argument you're making against this decision from Ubisoft and the people who support the change in this thread?

Just saw your post and will do.

There is a difference in saying ass and saying a slurr...

Do you even know what slurr means?

And I already answered that, read that post again.

You talked about a white person saying it. Why is it ok in rap but not online?

So they chase bad words but the rampant, obscene levels of team killing still hasn't been touched? Who gives a shit what the screeching tween is yelling as they mow down their own team? its still unplayable without a premade group.

Then why are you making it your argument?

Are you seriously trying to lump racist slurs in with other profanity?

Stop confusing 'things people do' with 'things that are okay for people to do'.

I've never used a racial slur when angry/venting. Literally never. It isn't a 'natural' thing to do and it should have consequences.

"Sorry I called you a niggar bro, I was just mad." Seriously? That's normal behavior where you come from?

I personally don't use them but I use other derogatory language when I feel like it.

I think that people will say the most offensive shit that comes into their minds without giving it much thought. So in that regard I don't think it's much different.

Last checked Ubisoft runs the show on Rainbow 6 Siege not 50 cent (example) if he wants to use the word in his song that's his choice.

PR and virtue signaling. Getting woke is the way to go.

It would appear so.

Then enjoy your vacation from the game when you feel like doing it around people who don't feel like hearing it.

There is systems in place to deal with Tking but ya they could be dealt with better. One step at a time.

So not wanting to deal with toxic bullshit is "getting woke" now?

Fuck me I guess the golden rule was the start of it all.

Yes, and "Fucking shit" or "Damn asshole" don't seem to be triggering bans. Only bigoted slurs rather than just regular vulgarity.

A developer not wanting bigots shitting up their game is "virtue signaling"? And they already have plenty of good PR, they don't "need" more.

Ur question has already been answered.

Dealing with that instead of (or rather, faster than) the game-play issues that pester the game is, in fact, getting woke.

Alternatively...they can do both at once. A decision like this is more a policy move than anything that would require serious development time.

Actually his record label does. Whose side would you be on if they said he, or any rapper, cant say it?
