Censorship- a public good.
What up, fellow leaguers!
I see people come on here a lot and bang out something along the lines of "chat-banned?? rito b censoring me yo!!"
Whether what Riot Games chooses to do is "censorship" is dubious (censorship is preventative medicine, like a vaccine, while chat-bans are more like antibiotics), but that's beside the point.
Lemme toss in my two cents and lay out what the point is, for your consideration, dear readers:
Censorship is a loaded term. People treat it like a dirty word, and fall back on their thought-terminating cliches that "censorship is bad", or "censorship=book burning", etc. Censorship is just a tool, like any other. It can benefit public safety, public health, and is a particularly effective form of "public morals" law.
Life shouldn't be a free-for-all, and even the most utopian vision for society will involve censorship, albeit by another name.
Don't be resentful of the idea of censorship.
oh yeah, & when's olaf gonna get that nerf? ;D
