regarding offensive language in-game [Dark Legends]
I would like to know, while this topic is mainly in discussion regarding what language is appropriate in the forums, what exactly are the rules/regulations regarding language in the games? I know cussing is allowed, there's filters in the chat, and certain words regarding homosexuality can cause one to be muted. But, what about in regards to people making jokes about rape? I certainly don't feel that is appropriate and I don't like that not only do people get away with it, but they also find nothing wrong with it. For me, personally, it ruins the gaming experience. I've run into this problem mostly on Dark Legends. I've both asked those making such jokes to stop, and I've already reported a player. I'm offended further when one then tells me to "go somewhere else if you don't like it. It's freedom of speech." Freedom of speech should not entitle one to blatantly disrespect and subsequently trigger individuals with such jokes. There needs to be a better mandate about what is allowed to be said. If words such as the q-word and the short end of "homosexual" can mute a person upon being typed, so should the word "rape", as well as the other homosexual slurs, such as the one beginning with f, which does not get muted and has also been said quite frequently in a joking, yet disrespectful, manner. This is not about me just being too PC or too sensitive. Even online, I would like to know I am relatively safe and can enjoy what I am involved in. Disrespectful/offensive language that can trigger/make one feel unsafe should not be tolerated. So, I hope that Spacetime/Dark Legends authorities will deal with this problem, and make sure that such language is not tolerated. In fact, I would strongly suggest it.
