All the censorship, pepe is offensive, ![:ok_hand:](https://d1kzxbyyijk9k6.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/ok_hand.png?v=6" ":ok_hand:")
aka Ok-hand is offensive, bowing down to weak minded people who need someone else to come along and save them from something they choose to be offended by in their minds.
I have seen so many topics locked now that I hardly use the forum at all, it seems worse here on the EU forum than the USA forum, maybe the language interpretation is a bit of an issue for the staff here and they find things offensive that native speakers don’t, who knows.
If you make a joke on the forum, people take offence to it, especially if it includes a lgbt hero, wow, they really cry about that.
I think the whole censorship thing just creates an atmosphere where “cry babies” (I reckon that will offend them but no other way to put it) are born, where people have the option to walk away, to mute, to block and avoid others, yet confront others knowing that some authority will rescue them right or wrong.
The forum is dead for me, discussion is only allowed if the majority agree, if you think outside the box you are hounded upon, I am not a cry baby so I am not asking for other peoples help, I am accepting that this is how things work in this particular game and it’s forums and simply removing myself from a system that doesn’t value everyone.

Majority rule. If reddit or whatever other big community outlet decides that something is offensive Blizzard has to step up and deal with it. The classic double standard xqc example where he was punished for something that was deemed racist but when someone else was also being racist it was ignored because they were not a center of attention and people didn’t much care about them.
In the end this is what democracy is, right?
The opposite, bet if blizzard made a poll and the outcome is that people hate their report system and the way they deal with the SJW it will deleted or invalid cuz of reasons.
Democracy is long dead in Europe my friend.

One is voting another is crying. Crying gives out a much more negative image.
Take gg ez for example. Is it really that bad? Only 4 letters. Yes, it is bad manners, but it is in no way as offensive as the community made it out to be. Yet they did. And Blizzard was forced to act and deal with it.
Put enough dumbasses behind something and they’ll succeed.

no not really look where blizzard HQ is located and then learn about the local culture there and then you know why this is happening.

They want to appease everybody, thats why. The casualization has been going on for years, prolly started with that one WoW expansion. They want everybody to play. Being as family friendly as possible goes hand in hand with that.
Thats reddit and twitter(and maybe facebook) in a nutshell.You can hardly find a worthy debate anymore because of the censorship and eco chambers.I dont mind having a debate and someone proving me wrong,but thats impossible to do anymore since moderators are nothing more then activists who remove posts they dont like.
im getting suspended on these forums here for some laughable minor bs “offense” every few weeks or so. Far worse than reddit… Reddit is a bastion of free speech, compared to this.
