I remember ye-olden days…
“Nice shoes!”
“Let’s play again on Saturday!”
“I can play as loud as I want in the basement!”
Average game chat censorship

The scunthorpe problem always made me giggle
ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Dark Souls (2?) blocked “Knight”
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 8 months ago
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
Faresh@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
The thrive community forums did it with the word belgium, inspired by the work of Douglas Adams
Etterra@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.

Or butter being censored as ****er

I can’t believe it’s not ass.

Dark Souls’ implementation is something special. Censors your name based on the language settings you have in place at the time, voice-over dialogue remains in English. So change your system language to either another language you know, or play it a few times so you know what things are, and then put the most offensive shit in as your character name you like.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Genshin has China-level censoring, with some really bizarre words like ‘tank’ being filtered.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 8 months ago
I wonder why
arin@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Hong Kong was also censored, haven’t checked recently tho as it could have been changed

Fuck China

I said “finish it” in Genshin chat and it censored it as “Fini** **”
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Game I play sensors damn, so I have to remember to say dam. Forget constantly so I am getting into he habit of just typing shit fire instead. “Ah, shitfire” Doesn’t care to block that I guess
Bertuccio@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Chat censoring should be mostly on the user side with use controlled blacklists and whitelists, with moderator involvement mostly for circumventing the filters.
Don’t want to see “penis”? Put it on your own blacklist.
gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
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
BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 8 months ago
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.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 8 months ago
True, could be a default list that you remove them from. What a s*** storm. *long click and select unsensor once, unsensor all, or review blacklist.
That way if people want to be sheltered they can never have to see it, and I can unblacklis> t them all at once, and the people afraid of the term moist can make sure they protect themselves via their list

This game is ESRB teens
philycheeze@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
“Online interactions not rated by the ESRB”
Halosheep@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Damn, someone should go back and tell my teen self that bad words aren’t allowed.
I am a fucking disgrace.
gerbler@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
StinkyRedMan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Dark souls censoring knight with k***ht
DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 8 months ago
Elden Ring censors the word finger
Jeanschyso@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Eden ring censored “Knight” to “K***ht” iirc

My favorite is when characters in the game use profanity but trying to use the same profanity in chat gets censored
wolfeh@lemmy.world 8 months ago
“It’s the Dk van De show! Starring Dk van De!”
Grass@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
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.

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
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Romanians are such Chads
RandomVideos@programming.dev 8 months ago
I think you confused the countries. Chad and Romania have really similar flags so its understandable

Probably “stupid.” Hence the weird spelling
ComradeR@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
YouTube censoring a video that talks about a controversial video, but not the original video itself.
FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I was playing The Finals and apparently LMAO gets censored, it make me look like an asshole!
BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 8 months ago
Did the Finals finally get text chat? I remember getting annoyed that I couldn’t yell at my teammates when they played like morons.

I’m just glad I don’t live in Scunthorpe.

Draegur@lemm.ee 8 months ago
I fucking hate censorship -_-
x4740N@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Either that’s genshin impact or honkai star rail or some other mihoyo game

Genshin

Etterra@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Have they censored the word “butter” yet?
recklessengagement@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
abbadon420@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Is that game even any fun anymore? I stopped playing after the first year or so.
recklessengagement@lemmy.world 8 months ago
If you’re a fan of shenanigans, have some friends to play with, and know how to avoid the script kiddies, it can be quite fun.
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 8 months ago
From what I’ve seen the real fun are on the private FiveM servers
InSamsara@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I stopped playing too, it would be more fun if it wasn’t as grindy.
Raiderkev@lemmy.world 8 months ago
So Mike Tyson can’t say that stuff is messed up… Shame
