technically it is as it alters the hops between your isp and the games server. you may want to read the tos again and see that's directly stated. se doesn't seem to have a problem with it and has commented they have no issue so it's fine atm. they person you qouted was correct when they said technically it was against the tos though.

a parser does not affect data in any way, shape, form, or fassion. it reads what is posted on a chat log and compiles it into an easy to read format. however, a vpn does alter the route the data is sent from your isp to the server so it does DIRECTLY alter data.
