Hello, I used to spend money on my favorite game. But now, because of cheaters and macros, I do not see the point.

'Hate' speech is too vague to actually compare to 'free' speech, so I am not sure what you are getting at.

 

Simply saying a word is whatever and has no bearing on whether or not it is 'hate' speech until the word is used in a derogatory manner.

 

But its fine if English isn't your strong suite. Now you know.

 

What comparison?

 

You said; "But saying the word is not wrong." - with regards to the N word.

 

Just because he has the freedom to say the word does not mean he has the freedom to spew hatred, which is what calling someone the N word repeatedly is, within the context of the directive of this thread. The OP didn't ask if someone saying the N word is bannable. He asked if someone repeatedly calling his friend the N word with intent to offend is bannable, and it is, because it falls under Hate Speech. It's not about "simply saying a word" and being surprised when someone gets offended. Especially when said word has carried a negative connotation for tens of years now and even more so when you're using it to offend.

 

If you're incapable of understanding why the word is offensive then you're morally inept - why else do you think it is explicitly banned from being used in ANY context in the entirety of the gaming industry? Find me any game company that doesn't harshly punish the use of the N word in ANY context, on whatever platform they use; forums, social media, in-game chat; and i'll retract my statement.

 

But it's fine if being a racist is a strong suite of yours. Now you know. Or perhaps it's your lack of empathy and comprehension...

Harassment afaik is bannable.

 

and simply spamming a word over and over again should be against the ToS.

 

But saying the word is not wrong.

Freedom of Speech =/= Hate Speech

I'm 99% sure you're a troll, or a dunce. Take a break from the internet, you're meme'ing us too hard.

I know the community is gonna say "wait for battle eye" like the trolls they are. but I want to play my game now and enjoy my experience not wait for a patch that has no due date...

I haven't been around the APB scene since early 2013, and it's my understanding that the previous developers ultimately neglected the game and this community beyond immeasurable decency, hence the distrust in Little Orbit's commitment to the game, but god damn the level of self-entitlement and self-absorption that I have witnessed on this forum in the last 18~ hours that I have been back, by, admittedly, a vocal minority of this community, is nevertheless disgusting and absolutely disgraceful.

 

How can anyone unironically write this trash?
