Open letter to Square Enix and Yoshi P

[Ativan]

Hello Square Enix and community,

Today I am taking the time to write this open letter to Square Enix and Yoshi P in order to see if they can take some more precise long term measures than they have been taking so far regarding the alarming prevalence of homophobia and transphobia in the game.

My suggestion at least in the short term while developing machine learning algorithms to detect homophobia and transphobia automatically, is that they should announce the measures they are taking against homophobia and transphobia.

What would this mean in practice?

Initially the idea is to have multiple announcements and statements on FF14’s social networks regarding the measures of a permanent account suspension of users who engage with harassment of trans and queer folks and go weekly or monthly giving reports of the amount of players permanently suspended for such their bigotry.

Within the game before logging into the game, a pop-up message should appear stating that anyone who harasses others on the basis of gender identity, race, or sexuality will be permanently suspended.

This with the colors and in the specific way that is well known to instill some fear to generate crisis among the bigoted alt-right playerbase and at least would be a start in the short term considering that the last few years the ToS has been simply useless in combatting bigotry in the game and on the forums.

Best regards.

You can banned for less in this game, it's not bigotry SE will and have slacked on.

Ironically, it's because the ToS vague at times that it has been "effective".

I've heard/read more toxicity and hatred towards others from the lgbtq people in voice chats and guild chats in games than I ever have from anyone else, so hey as long as you are for equality of punishment then by all means lets go all in on your dystopian machine learning so we can make chat in the game even more quiet because people can't handle words.

Hi Titanmen!

...machine learning algorithms...

But I guess the real question is how can we leverage the synergy of a cloud based blockchain to underpin the deep learning inherent in these ML algorithms.

Karen? Is that you?

Now this is why I browse the forums. You get shitposts like this.

Do tell Mister Titanmen - are you saying the other players are being LGBTphobic, or that the NPCs are being LGBTphobic, or that Squeenix themselves are being LGBTphobic?
I eagerly await your response.

seek help... seriously

the only people promoting this "problem" are you and your alts.

YOU are the problem.

as a member of the community you are trying to "save" I find your repeated attempts trolling and offensive.

Exactly. Nowadays people cannot even stand to see others having a totally different opinion than them and would shame you for it.
