You think that's bad? My friend just recently had his League of Legends account permanently banned because he said "report jungle" at the end of the game.
The rationale for the ban was that telling people to report another player doesn't promote a positive safe environment to game in and is offensive. In the same game the jungle my friend said to report bad said "kill all Japanese people".
Honestly, chatting in gaming is dead. Gaming itself is dead.
Fragile minorities destroyed the idea of communicating in multiplayer games forever, you can't even use preset phrases or map pings without the risk of upsetting one and losing your account.
Honestly the blame for this mostly lies with women, not minorities. Foreign nationals are very very aggro with chat and pings lol
In fairness, women are a minority in gaming. Not to mention the crossover in the venn diagram between "women who play non-casual games" and "women who complain about said games" is a miniscule sliver.
You can apply the logic of police ethics complaints to women. There's only a few bad apples, but they're empowered by the quiet support from the majority of the group.
