Immoral to assert your delicate sensibilities against another person? Definitely.

Then

Now go and cry about some sort of hypocrisy of "self censorship" because I'm actually going to tell you to go fuck yourself and that you should stop talking on these topics.

A bit hypocritical, don't you think? You're asserting your delicate sensibilities on me and trying to censor me.

Favorite color is orange, btw. Also, you're spelling those words wrong.

Well nobody is removing it against their will, the game developers made a choice to remove it.

But the reality is that self-censorship is still censorship

So if a bunch of people don't like something that you say, and you choose not to say it around them, that would be self censorship. Is that a violation of your rights?

If you make something, and someone says they don't like it, is that a violation of your human rights?

Freedom of Speech is from the first amendment.

So why is the denial of free speech any different when done by private actors?

Because it's not violating any human rights. It's a MASSIVE difference from slavery.

The specific term, freedom of speech, is from the first amendment, specifically written by the government, and that's what I thought was being referenced.

People not liking what is on the screen isn't a violation of human rights.

Isn't this kind of proving my point lol

I don't think you fully get where the term comes from.

But if you think an inclusion of a bit of graffiti that isn't integral to the game , and was more than likely a bit of graphic that they just threw up on a wall without thinking about it, is some principle to live or die on, you've gotta sort out your priorities

So now the slang really is what you thought it was.

In what way?

Let me guess, the Spanish language needs to change their word for black too, right?

Nope, it's different because it's well understood the language that brought along this term which is pronounced differently and associated towards a color, and the history of the word negro as a terms towards black people.

It never stops being just that one thing.

Well, if people stop making other things, then it will eventually stop at that last thing.

But "hard R" is nothing more than a description of the term

Precisely. Hence why I said "rooted." Now you get it.

Because I'm more than happy to die on the hill of Freedom of Speech.

A game changing graffiti in a game has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is freedom from government persecution

So sorry that it is offensive! I had no idea. Which culture is that/what does the word mean? It benefits me to learn more so I can avoid using the term more consciously.

Nah, because my posts about my own thoughts are not the same as a mass produced/sold product.

Not my culture.

Cool. Others though, sure. With some things, like the turn of phrase "Hard R," it's a bit of common sense, yeah

Do you think the japanese developers were thinking of this?

No, not necessarily. However, if you accidentally spell out something that would be offensive in another culture, it's probably best to remove it. It's not like the graffiti is essential to the game.

"Hard R" is a common term of expression that is rooted in a racist term. Accidental or not, it's better to remove it.

This shit is a cancer

That's some dramatic whining lol

It doesn't mean one of them

Hard R doesn't mean retard

I mean...i'm not saying it's intentional, but it is a pretty clear reading and probably should have been spotted in the initial test plays.

I actually won state championship in googling and I just googled a hundred articles that said it's your fault.

I won't link to any of them though.

Yikes dude

I mean I looked a few up, but none that I find really blame the MLB for it.

The sport is expensive, especially in US culture, so it becomes a bit more class related than race.

I think it’s important to look more deeply at the info then going with a knee jerk reaction

I’m saying that the online behavior isn’t your personal space. If you go looking for it you’ll find it, but if you’re letting it get to you then you’re the guy who gets fed up with words on a screen

No im saying that you’re being sensationalist

But it’s not invading your personal bubble. It’s a tweet

(although the baseball historian in me wonders why Moses Fleetwood Walker is never mentioned)

Likely because while he played professional baseball, it was in 1884, before the MLB was officially founded.

I’ve seen articles acting as if the MLB is stopping blacks from playing

I'm guessing this is a bit sensationalist...the MLB is going to bring in the talent, and that comes largely from those who put the work in.

I can bet that whatever behavior you're referencing, I thankfully don't have to witness it thanks to the company I keep.

It's not about what's out there, it's about what you choose to consume
