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.
So Mike Tyson can’t say that stuff is messed up… Shame
I remember ye-olden days…
“Nice s
hoes!”“Let’s play again on Sa
turday!”“I can play as loud as I want in the ba
sement!”The scunthorpe problem always made me giggle
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.
Chat censoring should be mostly on the user side with user controlled blacklists and whitelists, with moderator involvement mostly for circumventing the filters.
Don’t want to see “penis”? Put it on your own blacklist.
I want to see penis
Genshin has China-level censoring, with some really bizarre words like ‘tank’ being filtered.
Hong Kong was also censored, haven’t checked recently tho as it could have been changed. Taiwan also censored
Fuck China
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.
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.
Dark souls censoring knight with k***ht
Eden ring censored “Knight” to “K***ht” iirc
-
“It’s the D–k van D–e show! Starring D–k van D–e!”
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
The Hay’s code is coming back in the 21st century.
