Why is calling someone a "r%%%%%" punishable but not autist?

Like, you can easily get someone banned by reporting someone saying "r%%%%%%%%%% apparently autist isn't one of their key words for a ban?

Like even on the forums they censor it, yet autist is okay....interesting.

Let's bring this up a level.

Insulting anyone in any way in game, whether you use derogatory phrases or not, is punishable, but that doesn't mean it will result in punishment on the first instance. Even though both are distasteful, I do not believe the two terms you referenced are part of Riot's zero-tolerance list, which includes racial slurs, homophobic slurs, and self-harm.

Additionally, someone has to be reported for the system to review their behavior.

Because Riot's way of coming up with rules is reaching deep into their asses and enforcing whatever they pull out.

Both are punishable through the ML rules, and not through the ZT rules.

It's not "okay." We punish for that behavior on the boards. I do think I've seen it in some player's logs. It's generally used as an insult, so I would imagine it would be punishable.

uhhh

Umm

yeah fuck that, I already got banned once for saying my own sexuality, now you're gonna get me banned if i ever mention my neurotype? Why do people like you waste time belittling people like me and insist that i I should have to endure this protectionist bullshit from spoilt wannabe nannies who wont just leave me the fuck alone, I'd rather deal with the homophobes then people like you, because at least I can prove myself to them by fighting back, but people like you think I always need a fucking diaper, you're the bad guys, the people who say these naughty words are just ignorant and need someone to show them that they're wrong, people like you are convinced that people like me (An autistic non-heterosexual) are so below you that it is your duty to protect us like children, and to dictate to the rest of the world what is just too mean and naughty for us to encounter with our precious gay little eyes

that is a form of a bigot, someone who thinks so little of individuals that they don't think people can live for themselves and stand up for themselves.

I honestly would be happier if you'd just show your true colors and tell everyone you think i'm subhuman and that you're so much better than me because I'm hardwired for mechanical concepts instead of social ones, and because I favor the wrong genitals..

Instead of calling them an "autist" call them a "savant". "Savant" is defined under 'positive parameters'. So calling someone a "savant" implies that they're autistic, but more specifically they have a super-human ability for music or arithmetic. It's like calling someone "genius" but "r%%%%%ed" at the same time.

Do you think the meaning of r%%%%%ed is on a similar level or better than the autist?

R%%%%% isnt a zero tolerence phrase. It's censored on the board but it doesnt get you a 14 day ban
