So why is there a profanity filter on a M rated game's website?

T4R. That's like having a children' board on 4chan.

It's not like putting the dog on a leash, it's like locking it in the basement. Clearly some control is required, but taking it to extremes is pointless and doesn't do anything. [/quote] How often do you see the word "black" used by 13 year olds to describe someone they dislike?[/quote] [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] edableshoe You're missing the point. People don't use "black" as an insult, but there are some who use the "g word" as an insult, which is not only offensive to the individual, it is also an insult to that community (the homosecksuals).[/quote] I see 'black' used to insult or demean people all the time. "So these black kids were being rude..." is a perfect example. I see stuff like that a great deal. But 'black' isn't filtered. [Edited on 08.16.2012 1:48 PM PDT]
