I am a Foreigner and I got banned for type my own nick name???

Krazy Da Who··80 votes·19,643 views

I was banned for saying qingchong in the game, but Qingchong is my real nick name. First, I am an Asian, Chinese, and the city I was from is called Chongqing city, in China, all my friend called me qingcong boy（青虫仔/庆重仔）, in chinese that means "green bug boy" or "double celebration". I first got that nick name first because I was from Chongqing, secondly, I like bugs, When I used Chinese ping-ying to say hello in game today and used my nick name, for some how, American people called me "racist", later they reported me and Riot banned me for 14 days.

sorry I used q to replace ch, cuz they banned it.

So let me straight this out:

  1. At first, in this country, some White people imitate Chinese words "Ching" and "Chong" to make joke of us, later they realized that it was a bad joke, then felt regret about themselves for doing that joke.
  2. I'm a real user of the language "Ching" and "Chong", now, the same bunch of white people banned my game account because me using my own language. which means I, an Asian, get bad consequence for those white people made bad joke of us?????
  3. So if one day, when white people start to laugh at African people, imitate them to say "Aweh", then they regret and feel guilty, does that means African are not allowed to say "Aweh" or that N word anymore in the future?

I don't get it, I'm so confusing why I can't use some of my own language(Chinese ping-yin) in this country just because other people in this country had made fun of it in the past? I am real disappointing. Try to imagine an English user for California go to foreign country one day, when he said "I am Californian", and Everyone in that country suddenly called him a racist for a wired reason has nothing to do with this person, this Californian would get penalty for saying name of his hometown just because "California" related to a bad joke in that country. I get banned for saying the name of my hometown, I think this is a huge disrespect to my home city and my nickname.

btw, Chongqing is a really amazing city and all u guys should go check out what it really looks like. During WW2 it was the capital of China

Send a ticket to Riot support, they might be able to help you.

Black people or any people are not allowed to use the N-word just so you know.

Apparently riot does consider your nickname a slur as even here on the boards it is censored. The best thing you can do is an appeal to the supports here: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us

Let them know of your situation and they will help you the best they can.

Keepp this in mind: do no repeat your nickname.

that's wrong I reported some kid for racism for being toxic and for being rude and I got the ban for calling out trolls

Just because players are being negative or trolling, doesn't mean you get to harass them about it. Using toxicity against toxic doesn't make it right.

Not at all in league, but in IRL it depends on where you are and who you're with. Some black people dislike the word even when said by another black person. Others just don't care.

I should have been more specific in my answer.

While I personally believe the word has no place in society, anyone is technically allowed to say it. Legally that is.

In league of legends, it is not allowed in any section of the game. Sorry for the confusion.

I apologize for not being specific enough in my answer. I was referring entirely to LoL. Riot is indiscriminate when it comes to words that are considered wholly negative. Context is irrelevant.

I would recommend sending a ticket in to Player Support, but I will point out that there are basically NO Google results I can find for Chongqing when spelled with a ch instead of a q -- those just get me Wikipedia articles and Urban Dictionary articles about racist language. So it may be that it's an uncommon enough spelling that they didn't consider it an issue.

Any chance you have your chat logs handy? Being able to see the context would be helpful for recommending the course of action to take with Player Support.

When I type Chongqing with a “ch” instead of “q” into google I do get the correct result, Chongqing, China. I can provide proof if you don’t believe me, but that must be because of your search history. With me having 0 searches on racism or anything societal (I only read scholarly articles on my device), I get the correct result.

I can provide proof, however inconvenient it may be to me, if necessary.

I know that -- Google defaults to correcting typos. I meant that I can find no source online that spells the name of the city that way without assuming it's a mispelling for Chongqing.

Again, I'm aware of this. I'm just interested in seeing the chat logs, as the spelling with the ch is one that I cannot find online. I know it's a similar pronunciation, but the fact that than anglicized spelling doesn't seem at all common makes me interested in seeing the context.

Fam his nickname isn't ChongQing it's Ching cong or Qing Cong

Or Green Bug Boy.....

His nickname DERIVES from ChongQing it isn't ChongQing itself.

You mistake what he's saying.

The OP's nickname is Chongqing, as is the city's name. He seems to purposefully misspelled it as the slur Chong-c-h-ing.

The Djinn says that while Chongqing is a city that is easy to find by that name, there is NO mention of it by the CH variant. That makes The Djinn want to see the full chat logs to see what could possibly be going on, as it looks like the OP intentionally used the slur.

Gorantharon1 votes

He says his nick name is qingchong. It's not the city name, it's both parts switched.

The only thing that might be, the post is unlcear, is that he spelled it chingchong.

I kind of had to laugh at the situation because that's extremely crazy circumstance. If this is for real though you should tell it to Riot support. Hopefully they'll do something for you there. Imo they should reimburse you for the days you couldn't play but that's not likely to happen.

I'll try to explain it to you as a Chinese-American, my friend. c h i n g c h o n g is used in America to mock Chinese people, and people thought you were mocking chinese so they reported you. But they did not know that it is a real place. It's kind of like how there's a place in Africa called NIger, which looks really similar to the slur but it's not. They misunderstood you. They thought they were standing up against racism but it turns out that it was a real chinese name. Ironic.

The correct pinyin is Chongqing though.

How is Chongqing even a slur? The way I've only known Americans to make fun of Chinese people is [filtered].

Typing Chongqing on Bing brought up a city on Wikipedia, so it's real.

He's not saying that Chongqing is censored though -- he's saying that the version of the spelling with the "q" replaced with a "ch" is censored. That is the reverse of the common slur, but also not a valid spelling of the city name that I can find. As he says:

sorry I used q to replace ch, cuz they banned it.

Chongqing is indeed the normal spelling, and I'm not convinced it is censored in-game.

You have to understand. (I;m Chinese) Chongqing is the chinese pingying of it. The actual name is pronounced in english as Tsone-ching or chongching the ch is a tongue to top of mouth sort of sound and qing is actually pronounced "ching" in english.

I understand that, which is why I suggested contacting player support. I'm just wondering why you typed it phonetically using that spelling when I haven't seen that anywhere else, nor can I find it within a reasonable searching time. That's all.

It's also why I asked if you'd share your chat logs, so we can ensure that the context was correct and that you have a chance with Player Support.

He did say that was his nickname, so if it's pronounced like that, perhaps that's why his nickname is that.

Immigrants are still foreigners.

Being a foreigner doesnt mean you you live somewhere else, it means you are from somewhere else.
