My take on the current ban / suspension system.

In Sociology, there's a term that refers to the nature of behavior around groups of people or in certain settings. I forgot the name of it, but if you like to read into it further, you can do so.

But back to the point, people have a hierarchy of social norms that is considered 'normal' and 'abnormal', you shouldn't be banned in a game for saying a phrase or setting of words in a general sense, that's why i don't agree with this punishment system. Because you could say anything in any type of context and have it be mistaken for something radical or extreme. I could say something and someone might take offense to it but in say my culture its a compliment.

Our nation that we live upon has been founded by freedom of all the sorts, so why should Riot be banning people or suspending their accounts because what they have said was taken out of context, or even worse because they felt the right to voice them selves.

Now don't get me wrong i don't want people to run around in league calling each other niggers, i'm simply saying that there are an uncountable amount of cultures in our world and sub-cultures created by each individual or a group of individuals, now who is to say what they do and say is wrong or right? Why are people getting banned for talking how they talk in real life?

This was a huge problem with rap back in the late 80s to early 90s, is people were singing and rapping about shit they had to deal with in their life, and then all of a sudden it became extremely profound that someone or ANYONE could say these things in a normal setting and get away with it.

Now today we have riots all over the world about freedom of action / speech and etc...so on and so forth, why does Riot Games enforce these ridiculous rules onto the gamers in the world? Everyone should have a right to play the game how they see fit, and** if someone offends you PERSONALLY not by association, but IF SOMEONE PERSONALLY ASSAULTS YOU IN GAME BY VERBAL ABUSE, IT SHOULD BE REPORTED AND ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN**. But if someone is offended because of what you're saying, i should be able to report anyone who i don't agree with online. That's it, if i get banned for saying something "offensive" to someone I should be able to see people banned for saying stupid shit i don't agree with.

Now i'm not going to say the exact things i don't agree with in the community or league of legends, but There's a lot of shit that i have to deal with in a game and I usually don't get worked up or want to throw a rage fit at them, because there is no point in trying to CHANGE the whole entire world to what i believe is correct or not.

Sorry for my language, if i seem worked up. I am. No TL:DR, if you didn't read don't vote / comment.
