There is also a slider for white nationalism.

N-WORD: ON
Yep, it’s gamer time😎
Holy shit I thought this was a bit until I watched the source. This is honestly one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen, G*mers are so toxic and hated that a multi billion dollar corporation sees potential profit in selling the ability to automatically mute certain people in voice chat.
petition for hexbear to have an n-word toggle in the settings, and if you toggle it on you get permabanned
I thought “on” meant turning on the filter to ban it.
This could lead to some confusion.
We already have that, make a thread “islamophobia is bad” and a small group of Well-Actuallys will come running.
Imagine you study machine learning to just to write code that detects the gamer word. Funniest thing about this is that it’s totally necessary and unironically good
Necessary, but not the correct solution.
Empowering players with a tool to mute racists is the incorrect path. The solution isn’t to mute the perps but to actually punish them so they stop the behaviour.
If this tech exists then a push should start to actually have the online portion of games get rated. The language of players should be rated with the same lens that is given to the offline game or movies.
This will force the companies to actually implement the tech in a way that punishes the people doing it. You need the regulation to do it otherwise the companies won’t implement it in this way, they will consistently try NOT to implement it because they will be scared that they’ll lose customers to their competitor who does not punish people for the nword.
The online portion of games needs an age rating.
That’s my thought. You’re only legitimizing hardcore capital G Gamers by making an excuse outlet for them to point out whenever their toxic behavior is called out.
Then people would get banned for saying “fuck”.
Remember, in the eyes (ears?) of the boomers running this shit, all curse words are equally bad.
Rating the online part of a game is such an obvious solution I can’t believe I’ve never heard about it or thought about it before.
It would completely force all companies to address the problem and quickly. The discourse about online activities of children in these videogames would immediately hit breakfast tv and be in front of the eyes of moms everywhere, globally. When they hear and see what is going on (because the media would sensationalise the shit out of it) the steam behind regulating it and getting the online portion rated would pick up pace rapidly.
You bet they’d be fucking eager to regulate themselves when that train got rolling. If the tech exists to handle this now then we should push for it. The excuse they had before was ultimately that it was impossible to really moderate voice interactions between people, AI will make that no longer true and it opens the door to really pushing the issue.
I think leftists should consider joining in on that (but not wearing your red flag). Taking away the reactionary nature of the videogame online space would hurt the Gamer™ to alt-right pipeline.
Then you’d have agencies deciding if people are black enough to drop the gamer word.
Do you really need ml for that? Some regex should be able to catch anything that’s not obfuscated to the point of nearly being unreadable
yes you do, an ML as in a Marxist-Leninist who’ll send racists to the Gulag
That makes it even better, like yes, I’m way more comfortable now just hearing some of the terrible things being said about me. Also the fact that it seems to be per user is just dumb. Like 2 people with N-WORD ENABLED and Some Mysoginy can converse while someone who has those filtered only hears bleeps. That’s not solving a problem, that’s just putting a bandaid on it.
