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 21 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Is that game even any fun anymore? I stopped playing after the first year or so.

[–] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 11 points 2 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.

because the devs just ran their censored words list through google translate instead of paying someone to do proper localization.

"Let's play again on Sa~~turd~~ay!"

"I can play as loud as I want in the ba~~semen~~t!"

The scunthorpe problem always made me giggle

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dark Souls (2?) blocked "Knight"

[–] BalooWasWahoo@links.hackliberty.org 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Elden ring blocked the nig in the middle of knight. That always got an eye roll from me.

[–] booly@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's that one game that censored "Nasser" to "N***er" which made it much worse.

The depth of the stupidity of that is incredible to me.

You even get invaded by NPCs with "forbidden words" in their names. Checking whether you own game violates your criteria should be sanity check number one.

Invaded by Recusant Tanith's Knight! -> works, it's an NPC

Invaded by Recusant Dark K***ht Richter! -> Ugh.

And since those people keep their names like that, presumably they can't even tell that their name is being ruined by the game. An extra layer of stupidity.

At least with stupid chat moderation, you can see your messages, so you know how your messages are being ruined and you can adapt to it.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

Black K***ht, of Dark Souls

[–] Sendpicsofsandwiches@sh.itjust.works 35 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Or butter being censored as ****er

[–] MHanak@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Arguably making it much worse

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.

but thats a part of the joke

I guess I just don't get it

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 12 points 2 months ago

It’s the screenshot equivalent of a TV show cutting to the next scene the moment a punchline lands — usually a stronger and more “taboo” punchline that followed up in the dramatic pause after a previous more light-hearted punchline.

Honestly what made me laugh.

Genshin has China-level censoring, with some really bizarre words like 'tank' being filtered.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 52 points 2 months ago

I wonder why

[–] arin@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Hong Kong was also censored, haven't checked recently tho as it could have been changed. Taiwan also censored

I said "finish it" in Genshin chat and it censored it as "Fini** **"

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.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 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 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

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 24 points 2 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.

[–] ssm@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 2 months ago

My favorite is when characters in the game use profanity but trying to use the same profanity in chat gets censored

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think you confused the countries. Chad and Romania have really similar flags so its understandable

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

That was the joke :(

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 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 was playing The Finals and apparently LMAO gets censored, it made me look like an asshole!

YouTube censoring a video that talks about a controversial video, but not the original video itself.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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