These boards have way too much censorship.

I pointed out that Kalista's lore has a suicide leading into a reward (power to take vengeance) and, not only was it deleted, but I got sent a message about not promoting suicide. In fact, I was doing the opposite. The censorship in these boards is completely out of control. [Story & Art: all those S&A moderators want is someone to stroke their ego or GTFO].

I took issue with the way Riot Ant in Oz describes Kalista as "noble" because she gives desperate people the chance to take vengeance (at the cost of their life & soul) against people that have committed an act of betrayal. I said that it's not fair NOR right to describe to a teenage mass that such an entity (Kalista) is "noble."

Riot Ant in Oz honestly does not believe he has described a suicide. He firmly believes he has described a noble sacrifice, and preached that Kalista "was not malicious" in Kalista's Q&A. This stubborn refusal to admit that his creation is evil or the description of suicide as a "noble sacrifice" does not fit the audience towards which the story is being directed: underdeveloped adults. In this, the writer has failed to take an honest stock of his audience and violated professional writers' first question: WHO IS MY AUDIENCE?

In creating a "noble" demon that collects suicidal "sacrifices" on the wake of Riot Damiya's suicide -- something that I'm still trying to come to terms with - this writer has not only demonstrated extreme thoughtlessness but also lack of moral character. This is just my opinion. This country was founded on the premise that everyone has a right to express their opinion. Anyone here has a right to express to me why they think I'm wrong, but in attempting to censor criticism, Riot is isolating itself from its customer base. This amounts to wanting your customer base to be stupid, non-sentient consumers that stroke your egos and who never challenge you............ all while waiting to receive a paycheck derived from that costumer base.

It is right to express disgust with a human being's choice to romanticize suicide in Kalista's lore. It is right to mention the insensitive TIMING of the release of this lore. Just because a team of people gave this champion the green light, doesn't mean that you haven't all done collectively wrong. There is no safety in numbers where right or wrong is concerned. If we send 200k soldiers to invade a far away country on the premise it contains WMDs but we are wrong about that, believe me RIOT, you can and you will make collective mistakes too.

You have no right to mask suicide as a "noble sacrifice" in a teen game nor to prevent me from stating the obvious: the fact that you had collective gap of insight and wisdom.

In accusing Riot Ant in Oz of being thoughtless, I have given reasons for the accusation. Teens are riddled with angst and these days not a single one of them goes through high school without someone in their class attempting suicide. I gave the example of the most recent high school shooting because it was relevant: the teen used suicide to exact vengeance (on his gf cheating). I brought that example up to elucidate how the LORE and its AUDIENCE do not harmonize in a constructive way. I stated these things to help you as a company. When you are blind to something you have failed to see as a collective, it doesn't mean you are right. Hell, the majority in this world are usually wrong. Isn't it harder to become a genius than to drop out of college? Aren't you the ones who designed an LP system that states: "the majority really can't play our game well"? Then why do you think that because you have made a decision on this matter as a collective, then you are right?

Do you think I enjoy being here wringing your ear about the fact you did wrong? Fuck no. I hate it. Are you incapable of identifying what genuine sacrifice looks like? This is what sacrifice looks like. I'm not enjoying being here typing this to you for the fifth time and you doing what you think is going fix it: deleting me and kicking me to the curb, banning me like a dog instead of a friend who is telling you that you shouldn't go down a bad path.

I feel a moral obligation to let you know that you have done wrong with this lore. Someone in that Kalista team had misgivings about the story for the right reasons. That's just what I intuit happened because there's inconsistencies in the story like Kalista saying "my husband wouldn't want me to do this" (as she was committing suicide) but then she does it anyway and Ant comes here to say that "it's a sacrifice for her family."

If you are living in a country that believes in the right of free expression then you shouldn't be despots that delete and ban every critic that is genuinely trying to help you out by giving you some heartfelt feedback.

God Bless.
