Tencent and Riot games should know better. They are Draconian, or they are becoming so.

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."

Not everyone has the same experience from video games. Some people go into it expecting the same respect and decency they get in their real life. 30 year olds at their office jobs have a different experience than a 16 year old high school student who just got out of class with his friends.

It's disingenuous to restrict language in my opinion, but that doesn't make it wrong. My original statement wasn't very coherent or cogent so let me make a better one.

People are messy.

They do not fit into boxes are categories either, and yet we try to label ourselves as "student" or "worker" or "player". We are nothing but people at the end of the day. Each different in our own way. Riot Games is owned by Tencent Corp now, a Chinese corporation. There's nothing wrong with a little vertical merge, but I see the influence of the "Chinese" on riot's player behavior department. There is nothing wrong with banning players, or confiscating rented skins/boosts they agreed to give up upon account termination. They agreed to that.

I'm not talking about what's written in law here. I'm talking about what should be written. Toxic players exist in every game in the form of potential. Potential frustration. Potential raging. Potential emotional outbreak. In every game PEOPLE GET MAD. But what I see in this future is not a game where people talk to each other, which is what I crave in a game, but a game where people are afraid to talk because they will piss people off.

That is the tyranny of the majority. And the only way to counter that is with people willing to watch Riot and its staff who regulate this community. "Checks and balances"

Which riot will never agree to unless enough people feel the way I do.

But I feel there is a silent minority realizing that their way of playing video games is not accepted any longer. They move to other games bringing their culture with them. The fact that riot can find no way to accept the emotions of young people is against their cause of including the community in their game.

Bans are OK. That's not what I'm arguing about. I'm asking for oversight and a check on riot's recent player behavior pushes.

Nobody is going to see the future or the reality I do until it goes too far, and that's what I'm trying to prevent.
