Why is rape and suicide featured in the game, but not featured in the boards. What a PC Hell

LastManOnEarth·Apr 24, 2018·2 votes·1,903 views

I make a satirical comment about suicide as a feature of the game and I get banned for 2 weeks. I make a joke about pathing into champions looks like rape (cuz sticky) and they throw my post under the bus with many upvotes. Riot doesn't fix their bugs but they sure spend a lot policing their board for counter-culture that needs to be fascist smote by a concerned Riotian. This place should be called Rot, not Rot, cuz that's what is happening.

Blunt player.

Players suck, but the Riot culture sucks more.

EDIT: I see all 5 moderators for this board have read and downvoted.

Well that earned my downvote. Don't make assumptions about the people downvoting you.

Hey LastManOnEarth,

We take both suicide and rape pretty seriously on the boards, which is why you were banned 1 week and had your comment deleted, respectively. As for your recent discussion in Gameplay that was deleted, you describe two champions running into each other by saying "This is rape. Stop this now by fixing pathing." We don't allow such comments, as it is making light of rape.

<removed by moderation> I might put the trutch in my own words, but if you want to live in your bubble with your safe words then watch your world collapse around you. Riot spends more policing it's PC culture than it does on fixing bugs. How's that for a video game designer. A Rotting community cuz you don't want to fix the problems, you only want to ban them.

Using any form of disability, injury, crime, or other action as a metaphor for something happening in League is insensitive to those who experience that situation, and in many cases comes across as seizures being bad.

That type of comment is utterly unacceptable and is an attitude which is not welcome on the boards, and as such I've removed the first part of your comment. If you continue to make comments that are "ableist" in nature, or make fun of those who experience disability or extreme crimes, your boards privileges will be permanently revoked. If you have any questions about this please do not hesitate to contact us in the Boards Moderation Discord server.

If you remove my board privileges then I can't submit bug reports for you guys not to fix! Toxicity is learned not found. I got mine from this shitty game and the fact that bugs go un-fixed for ages. I can imagine that some programmer found it funny to have champion collisions and other stupid visual bugs be so "ableist" and won't fix it for that reason. You should be policing your game and company for such people.

If you wish to submit bug reports, you should do so clearly, concisely, politely, and with evidence. Nobody is going to listen to someone who's just screaming around with conspiracy theories such as "some programmer found it funny".

I think you realize that you are hypocritically challenging me to not talk about violence, injury, killing, suicide in a game that promotes that with its ENTIRE BASIS FOR EXISTENCE. This game is all about violence to virtual human-like characters, stealing, other crimes what have you. Suicide and epilepsy are not unique human conditions. They are found in many other species including those creatures in this game. If we can talk about killing, then we can talk about other conditions.

So, just throwing it out there.

The moderators/advisors/heralds are not employees of Riot. They are community volunteers. So that kind of already disproves the whole "Riot cares more about policing the boards than fixing bugs" statement.

There are still more moderators than bug fixers.

Depends how you count it. In a single patch? Sure. Overall? Not so much.
