Ban them all! I should never have to see someone calling me the nword. Just being honest and remove the dang reaper black voiceline for the love of god.
Why remove the voice line? It in and of itself isn’t racist.
Culturally, Black is a lucky color in some countries.
(Like in China it’s-- representative of the sky. I think.)

People being racist doesn’t mean the voiceline itself is.
It’s a voice line even from the Lunar New Year event- so it’s fine.
Punish the player, not the actor.

Remove the tools they use never liked the voiceline. Just my opinion. Allow a racist a tool to promote negativity. Remove both the racist and tool they used.
Just my opinion

Awww there nothing wrong there man. Lol
Nobody will take you serious if you make a fuss about things that aren’t even a problem.
I said a similar thing when they got rid of the McCree noose spray. And when people were advocating for getting rid of the D.va, Brig and tracer police skins.

To be fair, chat also falls under a “tool” that can be used by a player to abuse it.
Sure, people can ruin many things, doesn’t mean everyone should get punished because of that.

Another black person here. Voice line is 100% fine. And the combinations of voice lines that could be used to say actually racist things were always hilarious to me too.
So remove chat…and the game in general. Because you could be “racist” to anyone. You could walk up to a black hero and shake your head until they swapped. Do we now remove the ability to turn your camera? How far are we gonna go with removing “racist tools” exactly?

They already nerfed that voiceline meaning you can’t do combo’s with it anymore like you used to. You’re a bit late with this thread.

With the New Changes and Rules some of these players that are extremely toxic and racist should get harsher punishment for their poor actions in chat. Surprising they haven’t gotten the boot yet.

you can spam it to just say “blacks”
very cool when someone spams it for the entire drop ship/setup phase, chasing a doomfist, soj, or bap around
sometimes they even throw in a “get out of here” retreat line
very cool
should be rephrased to be “My lucky color is black” with appropriate edge

All you have to do is squelch the player spamming it.

I agree with the first part of your comment. But what has the Reaper VL to do with it. It has 100% NO racial background.
Thats fully out of context. The VL is not racist at all. But i agree that racist and toxic behavior should be punished and banned instant.

People desperately trying to see racism everywhere are so annoying…
Is racism a problem? Yes.
But stop crying wolf all the time. It’s making people sick and take real racism less serious.

Its a supply and demand issue for these people. Nowadays these terminal oppression olympics competitors are in high demand for racism, but there’s not nearly enough supply to meet their needs. So these “entities” are forced to desperately claim that anything and everything is racism to further oppress themselves. As we can see in this case, they literally make stuff up on the go.
