Smite’s Silly Censorship: Why Are Innocuous Words Getting Banned?
As a gamer, it’s clear the gaming world has turned a bit too serious when I can’t even type a harmless “ouchies” without getting flagged. A fellow gamer named Artholos brought up an interesting point in our discussion, humorously listing out words that would make any seasoned player chuckle. From “words” being flagged to “bacchus,” it seems like we’re treading on a minefield where even the most innocent phrases are considered off-limits. Artholos remarked that I can tell someone to “kys” and it’s okay with the censor, which is quite a contrast! This creates a challenging predicament: how do we balance competitive banter with excessive language restrictions? It’s especially absurd considering many of these words carry no real toxicity or malicious intent.
