Club Censorship

Greasy Hole·3/5/2018, 2:56:41 AM·1 votes·723 views

Recently, a club I'm in was censored for an unnamed reason, presumably for being inappropriate. The club was named "Oppai Masters" with the tag "Boobs". Can we really say that this was so offensive it needed to be changed to "TEMP232132" and "21245" respectively? Frankly, this is blatant and offensive censorship to me. If there was a form of racism, homophobia or discrimination here it would be understandable, but this? Really? A club full of weebs with a name and tag for laughs was worth ruining here? Additionally, we have Evelynn in this game. You heard her special line for purchasing Void Staff? Tell me again after that, that "overtly sexual name" is a valid reason to censor a club name or tag. You can't tell me the game is kid-friendly with Eve and Ahri in the game, so with that assumption, I'm pretty sure we're all adults here and can handle a reference to breasts. Censorship is the worst thing to happen to society and this is pretty blatantly that. Even worse, it's hypocritical at that.

So, lemme get this straight; you had an inappropriate Club name, with an inappropriate Club tag, and your argument against Riot for changing it is the existence of post-VGU Evelynn?

And that is your only argument?

First of all, it doesn't matter if characters have innuendos or what have you - besides, Evelynn isn't the only one with innuendos, y'know. The Champions in League are Champions representative of League's lore - some are going to be dirty, some are going to be prim and proper, but they are just diverse characters in a videogame.

And, just to give a few quotes of innuendos before Evelynn;

"Sorry boys, I leave the fuzzy cuffs at home." - Caitlyn "I can make your pulse rise...Or stop!" - Ahri "How do you like the curves? ...I was talking about the bow." - Ashe

And, gods. Take your pick from Miss Fortune's quotes.

My point being, the characters quotes are just representative of the world Riot has molded and continues to shape for League's lore - they're like little action figures for us to mess around with, for lack of better descriptions. As long as they meet certain standards set out by Riot, they're A-O-K.

On the same note; Players (that's us, and that includes you) have to meet a separate set of standards of behavior, and those standards extend to how we present ourselves - Summoner Names, Club Names, Club Tags, etc., and, much like in the real world, it's generally frowned upon to present yourself with inappropriate content.

Much like you wouldn't go to work and talk on and on and on about sex or other such profanity, Riot expects their players to present themselves cleanly and modestly with their screennames and clubs. Since your Club's name and tag both were inappropriate, Riot saw fit to change it, and they are absolutely free to do so.

And you can argue all damn day about how Evelynn comments on how big the Void Staff is, but you'll never have a solid case, because the Champion's character standards are separate from the player's standards.

Says here that Oppai means tits in Japanese. Sounds like you were trying to have some sort of inappropriate club name.

To be fair.

Did you really need to be called Boobs? Really?

There's a fine line between offensive and inappropriate.

Oh. And I just googled your NAME.

What are you, 12.
