Forums - Gaming Discussion - EA censors "white man" and "DLC" in Battlefield V

As a white man i find this incredibly racist..



Around the Network

I'm just confused as to what exactly this was supposed to be censoring. I've been gaming online for long enough to see just about every racist insult imaginable spewed both by and towards white people, and yet in precisely none of them did the exact phrase "white man" pop up.

Guessing either it's a glitch in their filtering system, or some rogue employee did it for sh*ts and giggles.

Sry, they're too busy defending gambling in games.

"White man " wasnt OK but "Black man " Asian man" was...



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

They don't care. It doesn't fit their agenda because it's racist/sexist against white males. That's fine to them.

"White men" is mostly used in context to insult Caucasians. How is censoring insults towards white men racist against white men? That's like saying that censoring "nigger" is racist against black people.

You know you've got it good when a mistaken filtering algorithm in a videogame chat is as racist as things get...



lol so stupid, like as dumb as building a snowman on the battle field... oh wait...

this game has jumped the shark over and over again, it will be released to die a horrible death. it will be quite sometime before we see WWII again.

there are far worse words that are used in online gaming, i usually have chat turned off anyways. its almost always something stupid, with children arguing and yelling back and forth with parents or siblings. or even more annoying is the heavy breather, that sounds like they neeed oxygen.

And if black man was censored beside the censoring of Nazi... come on? Double standard. Racism is racism and white man is not used as an insult, that's absurd. If it were cracker or the like you'd have a point. 

Context is still what counts. Cracker isn't racist when I use it to describe what I ate for breakfast. So if white man is not used in insults then what is exactly the problem here? What do you think whoever implemented this wanted to achieve? Looking at this thread it must've been something pretty sinister that will throw the whole world into turmoil.

Did anyone try to write any other racial labels like black man, white woman etc?

I'm crying at people talking about the an Agenda. What exactly do you think there agenda is for censoring the term "white man", think of how this term is actually used in context... they're likely just trying to remove inflammatory language like people insulting each other by race etc. There's your SJW agenda.

Every time i come to this site I feel like most y'all are just regressing further and further into giant snowflakes who want cry SJW at everything. Glad the entertainment industries is progressing and paying you no mind.

Black man, Asian man, Red man, Brown man are all okay from the quick 20 seconds I watched of AngryJoe's video.

It is only white man that people have found. All other men are accepted. Don't know anything about women.

 

Also, in a game based and set during world war 2 game, Nazi is censored.
