The definition of words has always changed with the times.

As it turns out, ALL words are made up in the end.

I will censor what I want and there's nothing you can do about it.

I'm not going to use it to filter anything (for now), but people should be free to use the chat filter however they want. It doesn't affect you ¡n any way or sense, so I don't know why you care. What's next? Prevent folks from also blocking *you* because you're feeling special?

These nonsensical special treatment demands from certain groups, that only representent themselves and not everyone that they think they do, should stop already.

it's like a participation trophy for coming in last when you ran the 100yd dash in kindergarten.... sometimes certain things just don't make sense and shouldn't be entertained by society.

Now you can block phrases.

NOT LIKE THAT.

ROFL.

I'm really afraid that the chat filter is going to be abused for homophobic purposes. We are already seeing a lot of people doing exactly that by censoring out "LGBT".

Please change this, please. Prevent people from being able to filter "LGBT". We should not give people the tool to censor out real individuals they don't want to see.

Smells like bait, but I'll bite.

You don't have to understand why other players want to filter certain words and phrases. There will always be people who don't agree with or support your values, either through passive or active means.

Filtering out speech isn't itself a harm, or Square would not have implemented the feature. If you value the ability to associate with like-minded players, you should also be able to respect the opinions and choices of others when they aren't leading to direct harms or abuses.

I don't want to see real world crap in my game chat. Not politics, not Gil Sellers, not Alt-Left, not Alt-Right, not anything that ruins the experience of just having "FUN" in a game I pay money for entertainment.

Amen to that!

Can't we just play the game and keep the RL stuff out of it?

The servers haven't even opened up yet...why are we already worrying about what people personally censor out?

With the way things are going I would not be surprised if people start advertising this MMO as a single player game. No say chat. No other players on their screen. Just you and the NPCs.

If someone wants to be a bigot, isn't it best they self-filter and not interact with you?

There is no need to interact with such people, and not sure why you care if they filter out messages for your club or FC. You don't want them there anyway.

Honestly is it stupid sure, But admittedly some people do over reach with it and I won't use it all, for um reasons no-one shall know ever cuz i am a vampire princess and i cant have people thinking i'm cute when i am demonic and evil and chaos by nature i am a creature of the night to be feared can't have that being ruined by letting out that one to be seen.. regardless I won't use the filter outside of religions and political people (ya i've come across those) and they set me off rlly bad due to past things because of that secret.. which sets me off.

Anyways, filtering it out in some cases makes it safer for people honestly so they don't set them off which is near impossible to deal with when you're struggling with hormonal stuff +episodes outside your control so honestly I think it's better for everyone if they filter it.

However at the end its their personal choice can't force everyone to agree and believe w/e we want them to * although I really really really wish i could..... so I could have my paradise but sadly it doesn't work and just makes you more and more upset which tends to go badly in my experience when you're hormonal and going through episodes...

I take everything seriouse because personally I go back and look over past things ive talked about cry/and get upset over them wishing it would have gone better that i was better with wording to explain my desire, but if your seriouse op just say screw it on this enforcing them not to do this will only be harmfull to self.. Relax and find a way to not let it bother you, I been working on it myself. I just tell myself personally be a good girl so my vampire prince will kidnap me and take to paradise were we cuddle in the coffin and my trueself playfull hyper clingy little vamp <3 always have graveyard youtube vids playing/listening audio books just shrug off all w/e


anyways I been trying to resist posting to this one for reasons noone shall know! because if ppl know they will think im cute or w/e and im not im ugly spooky evil demonic vampire girl :) anyone says im cute gets bite! bad enough my bestie and those close to me find me cute and me biting isnt very effective t.t
