Filtering such words wont teach people ANYTHING.
Banning or even permabanning them will one day.
I think it’s safe to say that people who says that grOw a tHickeR skin or says that it’s still ‘‘ok’’ to use these words regardless if the filter was on or not, should also be taken care of. It’s still childish if you think like that.
Stop. Being. Ignorant. Plebs. Periodt.
After reading this thread it’s apparent you all think the report system is all we need to be proactive against these racist terms.
All of you should be ashamed.
its censored? damn, i couldve sworn i saw someone type it in the chat today
It’s not censored. That’s the problem. You can drop that word in game any time you want and the only punishment is IF others report you. Even still, in order to be banned, you must receive X amount of reports, 6-10 people will probably not sway that.
Just last night, I saw someone get around the filter and spam it against my teammate after we lost 
Unlike common swear words, this is an actual derogatory slur against an ethnic group and should, at the very least, result in some kind of warning from Blizzard!
ggez is just a silly joke. if the goal was censorship then there would be a dozen of other replaced/censored terms.
Blizzard has time for memes and jokes but not time to filter simple racist terms. ggez.
It’s 2020, Blizzard. There’s no reason for you to not censor the N word from your game.
GGEZ is censored as a joke. The N word, however, can be typed and spammed all day long. This is unacceptable and regressive.
I will remind you every day until change comes.
I just mute the person who uses it, problem solved.
In before ‘bUT tHeY’Ll jUSt tYpe OtHer THinGs 4Head’
Yeah, they will. Add alternate spellings to the array of banned words, this is basic my first coding lesson stuff.
It is censored by the chat filter.
You’re complaining that the chat filter is disabled after you disabled it?
I think they want a special exception to be made for it, like with gg ez.
I thought that the N-word was auto-censored.
Ah. Well, mystery solved.
Kind of odd that GGEZ is censored in a way, yet the N word is not. I know that some people use it as a kind of “bro” word, but the much more offensive version of the word should be censored.
It is, if you want to turn off all the other words as well. But in this day and age it’s a word that should be taken more seriously than your everyday curse words.
But as current events show, if we ignore a problem it won’t go away.
The GG EZ bit was just a bit of fun on Blizzard’s part, I believe, not a serious attempt to censor it. Basically, what’s being asked for here is that people not be able to pick whether they want censorship or not but to have all offensive words automatically censored.
Why? To further perpetuate its harm? Address the individuals, not the language.
You do realize it takes 45 reports to ban someone for abusive chat, right? That’s 4 full games of reports, IF the players are proactively reporting that, which a lot don’t because pushing block is easier.
Removing the word from the game completely will reduce the urge to use such a statement in the long run, helping remove it from the memory of those that use it often and those that are continually exposed to it in a game that allows it to be used freely.
The n word with the hard er is censored. With the a it’s not. Idk why the second should be banned but I’m apparently allowed to use that word lol.
Maybe the word should be replaced with “I’m a racist whose father is also my half-brother”, “my sister would only sleep with a racist, so I became one” or something along those lines.
