Uhh. 14 day suspension for this?

Ben SwoIo·Jun 5, 2018·2 votes·2,889 views

I'm a little confused, it says I have been suspended because of "abusive, player-reported comms." Here is the copied text.

Game 1 In-Game Akrid415: i have one win in my last 9 matches in aram Akrid415: the comps have been straight shit Akrid415: yeah this is gonna suck. they are too tanky Akrid415: nope Akrid415: ? Akrid415: nope Akrid415: ez Post-Game Akrid415: %%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%

No previous penalties or suspensions whatsoever. This was the exact chat log from the match. What the hell is the issue here?

Yeah, maybe stop insulting people's race/language over a video game. No, it's not a joke, no, it's not funny, and no, there's no way you should ever think that's acceptable.

So saying "%%%%%%%%%%%" is considered racist? Oh my lord, 2018 social god damn justice warriors. Gtfo, that's some straight bull shit. People need to just quit TRYING to find shit to be offended over. They were speaking some who knows what Asian language so I fucked around like I was able to talk with 'em.

Don't EVEN try to preach some anti-racial shit to me, you know nothing about me.

ChermorgJun 5, 20182 votes

I mean, it is racist. There's no conclusion - it is racist.

You were making fun of someone for no reason other than their race. You were acting as if your race is superior and they deserve to be bullied or made fun of for theirs.

WHAT THE FUCK? I was acting like my race is SUPERIOR? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Holy shit what the fuck is this the Salem Witch Trials? I mean my god you guys are just way over the top. ONE phrase and now I'm acting like my race is superior and that their race deserves ti be bullied? Who the hell are you to assume that kind of shit about me? You don't know anything about me, don't go making shit up about me.

ChermorgJun 5, 20182 votes

You thought somehow their race deserved made fun of. Or else you, idk, maybe wouldn't have made fun of their race?

You're trying to defend an action that is indefensible. If you want any kind of sympathy, you need to understand and admit you're wrong. This attitude is not going to get you anywhere, and if you continue being hostile and insulting towards others in this thread, you may find it closed soon as you're getting nowhere.

I'm not looking for any sympathy, not especially from people like you who just want to induce a lynch mob tactic and attack people here on the boards. Get of your high horses and quit slandering my shit. You get on people for saying things you think are stupid shit and bullying yet here YOU are constantly stating false shit about me. Stop that slandering shit, you don't know me or anything about me. Close the thread, I could care less. I'm sure some of you got your feelings hurt or something like that anyway. But I WILL NOT sit here and allow YOU, or anyone else involved here, to constantly attack me and make shit up about me based off of one little phrase. You're all ridiculous.

ChermorgJun 5, 20182 votes

I have no intention of starting a lynch mob, and nobody here is trying to slander you. People are simply pointing out facts:

You said a racist thing. You claim you are not a racist. I cannot think of any reason that someone not intending to be racist would make fun of someone else's race.

You're free to remove your thread (you can delete threads you've posted) if you refuse to listen to people telling you're wrong. I strongly recommend you actually take this as a lesson that maybe you should change your mind about it being okay to bully/make fun of others, especially for their race/language.

But, you ALREADY DID. Funny how I had no intention of being racist yet ALL OF YOU are mobbin up, slandering me, attacking me, and making crazy ass assumptions about me. Now I'm telling you what you and everyone else is doing and you're getting defensive saying you didn't intend to start a lynch mob or slander me? Hell no that's exactly what YOU and everyone has been doing. Telling me I think my race is superior, telling me I think their race deserves to be bullied and made fun of. You fucking serious with that? Hell no, you and everyone else are all ridiculous and need to go look in a mirror before you start this attack (or what you guys call bullying) against me.

ChermorgJun 5, 20181 votes

I've asked you repeatedly what your non-racist intent was and you've failed to give an answer other than "fuck[ing] around" - which sounds a lot like "making fun of the situation", which is "making fun of them", which is racist because it's based on their race.

If you did not intend that, please feel free to give us what your intent actually was at any time.

Nope, you again are just being flat out ridiculous and are way off the mark. Fucking around is just that. Fucking around. You just thought up this little chain reaction of fucking around = making fun of a situation = making fun of them = being racist. That's stupid as hell. Again, stop with the assumptions about me and trying to slander my shit. You don't know a thing about me.

ChermorgJun 5, 20181 votes

There comes a point where fucking around is not an excuse.

"But officer, I was just fucking around with the other cars on the highway going 100mph in a 50 zone"... "But officer, I was just fucking around when I waved the knife haphazardly and got closer and closer to them".

You were "fucking around" - which means making jokes or "lightening the mood" - both of which are akin to making fun of them. "Fucking around" is not an excuse for bullying.

You really just compared typing a little phrase online to driving 100 MPH in a 50? Come on, that analogy is ridiculous. That's way far off. This phrase doesn't put my life or anyone else's in danger, so that's just reaching.

Yes, I was fucking around. Kidding. Joking. That's it. What's so hard about that? Do you people HAVE to find wrong in everything? It's NOT bullying. I said ONE thing ONE time. THAT's not bullying. If anything, the shit YOU and a few others have done on this thread is bullying. Go look in the damn mirror.

Fuckin seriously? Because of "ez"??? Wow. I'm already running thin on patience with the way this game is going, now I get a 14 day suspension with loss of honors and rewards for saying "ez"?? Such shit. My interest is just dwindling further with this game. Can you even banter at all anymore without offending someone? I mean come on......ez? Really? Just get rid of all chat if that's the case. Seriously, such shit.

Because it seems you may legitimately not be aware of the concerns around this language usage: here's the Wikipedia link on the phrase.

The opening paragraph:

[Removed] and [removed] are pejorative terms sometimes employed by speakers of English to mock or play on the Chinese language, people of Chinese ancestry, or other East Asians perceived to be Chinese. Several public commentators have characterized the term as derogatory, noting that assaults or physical intimidation of East Asians are often accompanied by racial slurs or imitation Chinese.

Whether or not you personally intended the term in this manner, Riot -- and many other people/organizations -- consider the phrase to be a derogatory and racist comment, even out of a directly insulting context.

I'm thankful you at least provided an explanation for Riot's stance on this without attacking me or assuming I think my race is superior and garbage like that. Even though I do not agree with the punishment at all, I appreciate your responses.

My pleasure. I'm sorry you don't agree with the policy, but ultimately not every policy can appeal to every player, and the anti-racism policy is one Riot takes very seriously. If that's enough to make you leave for another game, then best of luck in your future gaming endeavors, although I would caution you that more and more games (Overwatch, HotS, and I expect others to follow) are beginning to follow Riot's model, so check the terms of use for the game you settle on before using this sort of phrase in the future.

Dont project and assume everyone else is like you, even if it helps you cope.

You got permed, which means a history of repeat offense. You appear to have zero respect for others or ability to control yourself, so a permban seems pretty fair. Regardless of what you think, other people think they dont need to suffer your presence.

Not permed, maybe you should take the time to read instead of getting fired up ready to attack someone you don't know over some stupid shit. It's a 14 day suspension. You're just another little beta who acts all high and mighty on the boards. Look in the mirror before you go casting stones.

Most of the population does not tolerate behavior like yours, even before getting to the racist part, dont try to normalize it. Just your obnoxious arrogance would make most people eject you with the rest of the waste.

By all means go elsewhere. Go hide in your little safe space echo chambers where you can pretend you are a functional addition to society and dont need to interact with offensive normal people.

No, it's not because of "ez". As I mentioned, it's because of the stuff you said in the post-game lobby that got censored on the boards. I don't know whether EpicEzio is deliberately trying to misinform or is just being sarcastic, but, you should really know better than to think that such a small thing as saying "ez" would break the zero tolerance policy.

It's unsportsmanlike, sure, but it's not the reason you got banned.
