"Racist" reports

I agree. People have said terrible things about me in games. So terrible that I have already forgotten them. I try not to let it get to me. Sometimes I fail and it does but I'm only human. At the end of the day none of these words had any lasting effect on me. None of these things people said to me ever caused me to report them because none of them broke any of the rules. As long as people stick to utilizing the rules as a foundation for their reports I see no problem.

Frankly I found the comment calling someone a "thieving African" funny. So too would I have been amused by someone being called a "thieving Belgian" , "pilfering Pakistani", "larcenous Londoner", or "sticky-fingered San Franciscan". I also agree that immediately defaulting to the thought of racism upon seeing "thieving African" is prejudicial. It makes no statement about the race of the person, only that they are a thief. However, as you said, he was banned for other words, and not that statement itself so this is a moot point. Perhaps if he called someone a "parsimonious Judean" it would be a more appropriate reason to issue a ban.

Exactly the point I was trying to get across. Thank you for being more eloquent than me.

I am a Slavic Macedonian with a Greek last name, give me your worst. Chances are I've heard it already.

Of "browbeating"? I have, it's thoroughly Germanic in the origin of both its parts : "brow" and "beat". Not a Bolshevik or Judean in sight.

Problem is your asking left wing identitarians to be reasonable in their judgement…. They find ways to make everything about racism, sexism, homophobia’ism, and every ism/phobia you could think of.

Math = has a white patriarchal past
Telling time = rooted in white societal norms
Limiting over sexualization = homophobia
Not liking a movie with female leads = sexism

They are not reasonable people and should not be taken seriously.

To weed them out just make a spicy joke and watch the identitarians fall apart.

Sabertooth, what he is saying is that most of the people who get banned for these reports are banned for evading the filter. That is a violation of Rule 3. See here : https://banzore.com/forums/threads/bf4-server-rules-2020.6732/

Personally I don't care what people say and while I am not myself bothered by racist words per se I am bothered by people who think they can flout the rules they have agreed to follow. If they are willing to disregard the rule against racism why wouldn't they also be willing to disregard the rule against team killing? What about team griefing? Perhaps the Battlefield-wide rule against hacking is optional for them as well. Admittedly this is a slippery slope argument but the kinds of people who disregard a simple rule like "No Racism" are also usually the ones with a cavalier enough attitude to blatantly disregard one rule and then violate another and another and another until they are stopped.

So I think you're missing the point of the rule-breaking in the first place. What people say is not really the problem. It is the flippancy with which they say it that is the problem because that casual rule-breaking mentality is an indicator of behavior which will often lead to other prohibited actions.

If you want to discuss whether or not racism should be against the rules then that's fine however I think it will be a losing battle for you to do so. Most of the people here don't want to see N-words and J-words and C-words thrown around with reckless abandon - something which is certain to happen if the rule were lifted.

I have noticed that it is a common occurrence among young people today ( not saying you are one of them ) to throw around words which may offend others without any concern for the potential consequences which the utterance of these words may have on them. Perhaps this is a result of their being raised where the primary method of communication something as impersonal as a text message or discord comment. Maybe it's the result of a general ennui from over-stimulation of constant instant gratification. Maybe it's just the pervasion of shitty ( in my opinion ) music and culture which desensitizes them to the usage of certain words and phrases. Whatever the cause of it it is certain that the use of this kind of language will increase if the rule is lifted and that language is liable to drive away more players - of which we have precious few enough of already - from the game ( and more specifically Banzore's servers ) than you are likely to lose from keeping the easy-to-follow rule in the first place.

it’s because censorsing language to protect peoples feelings is stupid and childish. If someone calls me a cracker in game it just makes me want to fuck them up and tbag em. People that can’t take trash talk/trolling need to get off the internet and get a fukn therapist

I was told by admin to stop calling people "monkey" in game chat

"Working like a monkey" is a real and common phrase on construction sites. It is non-racial and describes anyone who wanders around aimlessly and unplanned, working backwards, working themselves into a corner, putting themselves and other people in danger, and leaving their fucking tools everywhere.

Commonly these people are also coke-heads, and usually sucked a lot of cock to get into whatever position they're in. It stems from the reality that monkeys bounce and swing around the tree tops without a care in the world screeching and picking their asses.

Black, white, Spanish, East Asian, South Asian, Inuit, Greek, Slavic, no one is safe from the monkey label if they're working like a fucking idiot.
