Riot Games will now ban creators for bad conduct even if it's not said in-game

This isn’t jabs or being funny or trying to get a laugh out of people via CoD lobbies on 360.

This is totally unhinged shit.

I swear, it feels like "well-intentioned society" is spiraling everyone into complete retardation.

EDIT - And it's not like we still need to second guess if this will be for the better, either. We are already seeing papers pointing at the fact that "trigger-warning culture" is making things worse for younger people and affecting their capabilities to deal with the real world.

Bruh. It’s pretty rich to question their motives and credibility after voting Trump and his circus troupe into the office again.

Let’s just say we all have some deficits in making good judgment calls.

Dude went out of his way to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and this is the way you act. Sad!

How the fuck did people get so pathetic and weak?

If someone insults you or says the no no words in a game, tell them to fuck off, block them, and move on. Is it really that big of a deal? People act as though hearing something is the same as being stabbed with a carving knife. Have people really lost the ability to just go 'this fucking idiot' and move on with their day?

How about not being a toxic fuck and harassing other people.

Fuck wrong website

This is precisely what I'm talking about.

At no point did I mount a defense of being unpleasant when gaming. You were too stupid to notice that when you started chimping out and throwing your fists at the keyboard.

The point is that people are going to be nasty. That's life. That's how people are. Is it healthier to cultivate self-determination and autonomy in people by reinforcing the idea that words do not matter and they can very easily tell them to fuck off and block them, or is it healthier to convince people that they are weak, fragile, and so easily wounded by online slights that they need corporate intervention and protection in case they get their fee fees wounded?

Use your fucking brain.

you're not harassing anyone if you're not saying it to them.

I'm sure you've done this yourself. Ever been driving and someone did something stupid and you say to yourself something like this fucking idiot? This is the same thing, im sure you've been in that or similar situations. Literally every person has done this.

Use your fucking brain.

People who want safe spaces and to be coddled are never going to actually be comfortable in life. They have basically become the princess in "The Princess and the Pea". That doesn't mean that I condone being an asshole, I just mean that going down that path is a journey without an end because you can always choose to be offended or hurt by something. The calmest and most content people are the ones who don't get easily riled up by others.

Aye, and people need to learn that behaving like an asshat will have consequences.
And you think that corporations should be the ones to determine, and apply, those 'consequences'? Seriously? You want corporations deciding what the 'consequences' are for saying no no words?

It’s not the same thing at all? Your broadcasting yourself and at that point your actions, words, etc are fair game.

The year is 2040.
You've just been notified that your account has been suspended and you will no longer be able to play the streaming only single player game you paid $149.99 to rent for a month.

You ask why.

They tell you that after choosing he/him pronouns for your character the automated moderation system put you on a watchlist and discovered 2 grave infractions to the EULA: Posting on any social media that isn't Bluesky and liking a problematic pepe the frog meme.

I've honestly never cared for anything Riot has ever done. This makes me happy that I never did, lol. This will surely be abused to high hell.

It all comes down to the victim wanting revenge, and they do it through their mommy.

Banning you for things outside of the game/platform itself is a slippery slope even before the time of account linking.

But I guess this comes down to wanting to control their esports players. And since it's a team game there should be consequences for being an asshole. I remember Dota 2 having it so you wouldn't get matched with players that blocked each other.

You make it sound like we are discussing jail time.

People get banned all the time. See vTubers on Twitch getting banned for showing hip bones. Is it stupid? 100%. But it’s also their platform. Their platform, their rules.

Can you quote the bit where I said anything about it not being their platform?

I said that their rules are stupid, counterproductive, and teach people really poor lessons in how to live.
