Why Does Riot Promote Racism, Anti-Semitism, Homophobia, and General Hate Speech?

So let me get this straight. If you saw the name "Mein Kampf" on a North American server, with the spelling changed but including capitals, you're claiming you would think it was someone trying to speak German.

You're also trying to tell me you'd name yourself after a book you don't agree with.

Have I gotten your arguments right yet?

Wait a minute, you said it was Mein Kampf. You’re now saying that the spelling was changed. Which is it? You’re being inconsistent here.

And dude, I’d name myself any name I thought was cool. Maybe someone tried out names, and decided on this one because it was a well known book that wasn’t taken by someone else. You’re literally making so many assumptions and leaps in logic here and ignoring all other possibilities, and you’re asking someone to be punished because you don’t agree with the other possibilities.

By the way, there’s many people in the USA that speak German as a primary language.

I think you've honestly made your own argument a paradox.

You talk about how Riot promotes Anti-Semitism and Hate Speech, but in being what I can only describe as "ridiculously anti-German" in your argument that a book title that literally translates to "My Struggle" are you not promoting hate speech and Anti-Semitism yourself?

Keep in mind, comrade, that you can find people of every origin, nationality, and tongue in NA. For all you know, this "Mein Kampf" guy could be some collegiate language arts major who studied German and found it really ironic to name his LoL account after the absolute struggle it is to find an enjoyable game, let alone climb in rank, and compares all the instantaneous flaming by teammates to supremacist behavior.

Or maybe you considered that, and find even further offensiveness in the fact that you're being compared to a Nazi, by proxy. -shrugs-

I'll be blunt here: I was leaning towards agreeance with you, that there are far too many people with ridiculously offensive names. Then I saw this argument, and I have to say, my entire opinion right now has swayed more to believe you're simply looking for a "mountain out of a molehill" scenario in bringing it up, and that you're obviously willing to compromise your own argument through your wording for the sake of your argument.

Yes, "Mein Kampf" is a pretty high-profile/high controversy book...but the book on it's own is honestly not on its own a designation of hate speech. "GasTheJews" is offensive towards Jews. The N-word spelled with q's instead of g's (impressive mods, you even filtered that variant!) is offensive and anti-semantic towards black people. "Mein Kampf"...there's really not a reason to be upset over it. Hell...even taking the name "Hitlurr" isn't on its own obscene enough to be considered hateful, though if a Jew were to join a game with or against this guy, they'd still likely consider it their sworn duty to murder them or bait them into dying as much as possible, depending on their team, and I honestly couldn't be mad about it. >.>

Your argument in and of itself though is what's ruining your overall point. There's a line that needs to be made - either "Mein Kampf" is not obscene enough to be considered hateful on its own, or any name containing religion, pride, or politics should all be considered hateful and oppressive. Yes, I will indeed compare "Main Kampf" to all of those, because all of those are controversial in the same type of way, but to different audiences. If I, for example, were to get ROYALLY BUTTHURT upon seeing the name "Hamdullah" (Saudi for "Praise Allah") would it be any different from hating "Mein Kampf"? Not really. Same if I were to be upset about "oBOMBa"(I think that one actually is a name in NA. >.>) Neither of those on their own are really hateful or anti-anything...neither is "Mein Kampf." The projection some people would place upon those names based on their thoughts of them are not something the people with those names control. Those projections are on the people projecting them.

so what do you call it when they went from the crappy, slow, tribunal to the IFS AI they have now?

the IFS, btw, is a DIRECT result of community response in the tribunal.

So i take it you don't understand how AI learning works then...

that's fine, but I'm not going to explain it to you, check it out though, might clear some things up for you.

see ya, good luck with your tilt-posting*[slayer-jinx-catface]*

you're not worth one more second of effort, that's why

dense AF

You're right, too much information would allow for circumvention, but at this point, actually having to circumvent something would be an improvement.

The only announcement they ever made to changing player behavior was the implementation of the honor system, which is, unfortunately, not a hugely effective system.

Under the honor system, there are no punishments, there are merely rewards or lack thereof, and a lack of rewards doesn't deter negative behavior.

It would definitely be a step in the right direction if they were to at least say they were improving the reporting system, even if they didn't give many details.

Edit: Support tickets are already being resolved, and I'm getting very informative and helpful responses from support staff. Why won't Riot Games make their in-game system this good?

Lol, you don't have to tell me about the punishment system, at least in regard to verbals. I've had about 5 or 6 punishments on this account.
