What is Rito's target market, and does he care about pleasing them?

Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

After reporting a series of issues I had with Rito and his community policies I essentially got nowhere. This made me wonder: Who is Rito trying to please (or should I say 'placate') with all the censorship in things like names and rune pages? I would assume that, like most of the people on the internet and gamers, the majority of active Leeg players such as myself are not triggered in the slightest by so called dangerous or edgy speech. This can only lead me to assume that Rito is not necessarily trying to please its players (no shock there honestly) but rather trying to please the whiny triggered SJWs the way Google has been recently. Is this acceptable to you, the Leeg community? Please show me if my presumption is correct by voting in the poll.

People just dont know what coolie means, so it never gets reported.

Thats honestly the only difference lol. Adolf Kekler is obvious, coolie isn't. You got reported multiple times for your name, he didn't.

As long as it isnt just completely vulgar, i dont really care about someone's name.

I don't agree banning names such as Adolf really, as there are other stuff with similar names. Like Isis, which can be refereed to the Egyptian god Isis or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) shouldn't be banned either. Well, at least Re-Logic is mature enough to see past this stupidity and kept their Dryad's Isis name in the list in Terraria.

Banning names that contain hate speech or what is fine by me really.

Obviously censorship is not necessary to keep players interested in their game, but Riot must still do it. I agree that only the most mental of people will ever get triggered by an edgy childish name like Adolf Kekler, but it's important for Riot to maintain their public image of protecting the children and all that shit so sponsors won't fear working with them. If they were to allow names like these you COULD form the image of Riot being a company run by "literal Nazis" and sponsors would jump ship fearing their public image would get tainted by that shit as well.
