Me and few of my friends wished to create a roleplay guild with the word “White” in it, but could not even type it into the guild charter, as the word is deemed mature language.
I find this type of censoring ridiculous, as it limits people’s creativity when it comes to creating guild names (silly in our case, but still). Colours are supposed to be completely neutral, their meaning only really changing when you add something to it, but in our case, it is literally just referring to an animal’s fur colour.
The rest of the community should NOT suffer due to some people’s stupidity, especially considering we can simply report offensive guild names (since blatant racism is against the tos anyway).
I may have missed something important, but I am just a little upset. Even a GM told me to come here to see what the playerbase thinks about it.
EDIT: It turns out the word “Yellow” is censored too.
It’s an American created game where racism is still very much a thing and so are very sensitive to these things.
However to censor colours is a tad silly.
Then the rest of us should push these awful people down. I am rather tired of having to abide by someone’s rules only because someone else was an idiot. It is the equivalent of the whole class being punished by the teacher because one or two people were interrupting the lesson.
In pokemon black and white they banned pokemon with censored words in their names incase someone nicknamed them something offensive.
The pokemon named by nintendo as cofagrigus was therefor not able to be traded as it was called cofagrigus and so triggered the censors.
They are probs trying to avoid that.
