Edit: Its interresting to see the varying opinions on this, its either met with similar experience and relatability, a bigger push for censorship or people crying about censorship, te same people who dare not say what their true opinion is on their topic, and calling first amendment to push their hateful narrative, please, if you have a hateful narrative, push it forward here you coward.
I can’t tell if this is exclusive to my server, but since somewhere at the end of WoD, a PvP guild established themselves as being white supremacist, and kicking anyone who they learned was hispanic/black with hardcore racist speech and rhetoric.
This is an issue EDers kind of got used to and ignored, most decent people on my server simply disable trade chat and stay away from the main perpetrators.
However in the past 2 years I would say, this behavior has become much more widespread, and attracted a whole different kind of toxicity to the server. Nowadays, trade chat is 24/7 people “Owning the libs” and screaming how transgender people are mentally ill, that sort of lovely talk.
I wouldn’t really care most times, but it has literally come to the point where I have to explain my server choice everytime I bring a friend in, coupled with some of my african american/latino friends being called the N-word and told things that I dare not repeat here in whispers and discord texts.
The report system is a bit redundant, since people rarely use it and its automated, I can’t tell if anything that can be done to solve something like that, at the end of the day I just want to play with my friends without the occasional racist/transphobic whispers and trade chat.
I can’t post screenshots or expose names due to Forum TOS, so you have to take my word for it.
