People talk about pedophilia in general chat, essentially without penalty. Not making jokes, not trying to be funny, just actual discussion of pedophilia.
People have the hard R as a gamer tag regularly, use hate speech and slurs in general chat by bypassing chat filters, or just straight up saying it because of scuffed chat filters, without repercussion.
People use hateful language, threats, argue for hours on end.
I’m all for “free speech”, I am okay with reasonable trash talk, but this is the most unmoderated, spiteful, hateful community I have ever seen in my 15 years of gaming, straight up worse the league of legends, and that’s a massive bar.
It is only 5-10% of the community that makes general chat an actual cesspool. Make a PVP chat with NO RULES, unmoderated, so the worst people can have a place to spew whatever edgy garbage that they can’t help but to say to the community, or start culling the community from a chat perspective.
I keep my chat off 90% of the time because it’s actually useless, this isn’t a gaming chat, it’s just a 4Chan POL thread in a boat game, and the game deserves better.
Your game becomes the community you foster, do better.
