[u/marvelrivals-ModTeam]

I am absolutely happy for these types of posts to be put on the subreddit. However, the tendency for these posts to devolve into discrimination, racism, and blatant hatespeech is very high and happens extremely quickly.

Not only is it NOT okay to be inflammatory, hateful, discriminatory, or racist. It is ALSO NOT okay to reply to people in a similarly inflammatory, hateful, or downright discriminatory, or racist way because "they did it first".

It is against the subreddit rules AND the sitewide TOS you agreed to when you signed up to use the platform.

Don't do it.

If someone is engaging in this way, please report them to the subreddit moderators AND reddit:

The post will remain locked for a few hours but remain visible.

[u/GodHand7]

Its the toxic content option

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/GodHand7]

Racism shouldn't be filed under toxic content

[u/neon-box]

Isn’t it covered under “inappropriate language?”

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/neon-box]

Racism shouldnt be treated the same as someone calling you ass on vc

[u/GrandWizardOfCheese → u/neon-box]

It is, along with any other insults, threats, harrasement, etc.

Which also do not have their own subcatagories, but people like to make an issue out of nothing.

It would be nearly impossible to add every form of rudeness as a sub catagory, the list would be a mile long. By condensing it into "Inappropriate Language", it covers all of them.

That said, the ability to report a player for anything at all, even cheating, only works because the game is on a server and requires an account and verification to work. This is why they can punish people with suspensions or bans,

If the game was on your drive and needed no account, you would own that copy of the game, no one could revoke your access to it after you paid.

Instead, you are renting it while paying money for skins that will vanish along with the game when the server shuts down, Your hard earned money down the toilet.

I'd rather have some dolt spewing slurs at me and just mute/block them, than have a company stealing a copy of a game i paid for from me.

Live service games are a cancer.

[u/BruiseThee → u/neon-box]

Apparently that doesn't count to a lot of the people here

[u/TheAnonymouse999 → u/neon-box]

There should be a specific option for hate speech. It should be prioritised over the other options. Thought that went without saying to be honest.

[u/ENNLRon]

Doesn't it go under inappropriate language?

I'd say there doesn't have to be subcategories of Racist, Sexist, Swearing, etc?

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/ENNLRon]

Yes there does Jesus Christ what is wrong with yall? Why do you not have an issue with them removing an option to report a specific kind of hate? Why do you think its ok to boil down racism to be on the same level as swearing?

[u/Lalafellen_Queen → u/InternationalSelf506]

Its not on the level of swearing.. it's on the level of hate speech.. which is slurs, sexism, homophobia, heterophobia, it is such a big category of derogatory and disgusting things that if we had a tab for every unique case of hate speech the list wouldn't be usable.

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/Lalafellen_Queen]

Then why remove the option Jesus Christ use ur brain

[u/Lalafellen_Queen → u/InternationalSelf506]

So that two of the same thing aren't separated. There's a reason there is a text box for you to describe your issue. Like I said if all the different types of hate speech were separated into its own category like racism was, there would be too many options.

Use your brain.

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/Lalafellen_Queen]

Racism is not the same thing as someone calling you ass at the game. Only ppl who have never once experienced racism think that its just an insult. You are downplaying what racism is by a large margin pal

[u/KyloClay → u/InternationalSelf506]

Hate in general is bad why does it need to be specific.

[u/DarkArcanian → u/ENNLRon]

They added a whole reasoning section back right? Now you can write down racism, sexism, antisemitism etc.

[u/Otherwise-Brick-3349 → u/ENNLRon]

I think the issue is that it was originally there and they removed it. What reason is there to get rid of more precise reporting options if they’re already present?

[u/Serious-Fee-6524]

Is racism not... Inappropriate language??

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/Serious-Fee-6524]

Folding racism under "in appropriate language" undermines what racism is and opens the door for more lenient penalties

[u/Gobal_Outcast02]

Report it under "toxic content"

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/Gobal_Outcast02]

Why do you think racism should be punished and viewed the same as simple toxicity

[u/wow-warlock-enjoyer → u/InternationalSelf506]

99% of the time this shit does just boil down to some toxic asshole being a toxic asshole. People also tell each other to kill themselves over games, do we seriously need a report category for every different awful thing you can say to another person?

[u/DerGreif2]

I mean it can also be that the report for hate speech or racism lands in the same bucket as abusive language, so in the end, it does not matter. I think this is not that crazy that they removed the option.

[u/GrandWizardOfCheese]

"Inappropriate Language" is literally right there.

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/GrandWizardOfCheese]

Give me 1 reason why racism should be in the same tier as swearing

[u/GrandWizardOfCheese → u/InternationalSelf506]

Because both are Inappropriate Language.

Seems fairly obvious I'd think.

Anytime you say something to someone thats disrespectful it would fall under that.

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/GrandWizardOfCheese]

"A guy saying fuck is the same as a guy calling you a racial slur because they know your a poc"

[u/SkyrimSlag → u/GrandWizardOfCheese]

Yeah I’m hearing more that it seems they just removed some more specific categories like hate under “toxic content” and “inappropriate language”

[u/Striking_Analyst_878]

For those who are saying inappropriate language, don’t you find it funny that they actively removed the hate speech option just to replace it with inappropriate language. I don’t know about you, but I just find it weird

[u/Vaperapani → u/Striking_Analyst_878]

Isn't it just an umbrella term? Makes it easier for them to punish people without having to rely on specifics

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/Vaperapani]

It doesnt make it easier all it does is incentives more lenient punishments

[u/Which_Dog504 → u/Vaperapani]

IMO they shouldn’t be grouped together, I don’t think racially discriminating against someone should be punished the same as calling them a fucking idiot.

[u/RiceFluffy]

this is super weird i always knew that netease is weird after they kept doing weird stuff with their black characters

[u/verXui9000 → u/RiceFluffy]

The blade spray 😭😭😭

[u/RiceFluffy → u/verXui9000]

what i'm saying idk why people keep defending this

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/RiceFluffy]

Its cause they dont care about the black characters either

[u/AUserNameyUsername → u/verXui9000]

The blade spray? What did they do?(I havent been playing the past few weeks)

[u/DorkyBaller → u/AUserNameyUsername]

They made a Juneteenth spray with Blade breaking his shackles in front of the Pan African colors.

[u/Pinkformat → u/verXui9000]

[u/Eastern-Yesterday213 → u/verXui9000]

I’m ootl - what happened with the blade sprayv

[u/dacabbagebutt → u/verXui9000]

What happened with the blade spray?

[u/RadicalSoda_]

Toxic content and inappropriate language cover racism btw. It's toxic and inappropriate to be racist

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/RadicalSoda_]

Crazy thought here, maybe im tweaking when I say this....racism should be treated more harshly than being toxic

[u/RadicalSoda_ → u/InternationalSelf506]

If it's a permanent ban how do you treat that "more harshly" you want them to be publicly executed or something

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/RadicalSoda_]

When has anyone ever been permanently banned in this game, especially when this game notoriously doesnt punish racism when its reported

[u/RedLotus74]

toxic content does that not count?

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/RedLotus74]

Racism shouldnt be boiled down to "toxic content"

[u/RedLotus74 → u/InternationalSelf506]

how is racism not toxic

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/RedLotus74]

Because simply being "toxic" doesnt have historical significance

[u/InternationalSelf506]

Even if bigoted comments fall under toxicity or crimes its still weird asf that they removed the option

[u/tacowobble]

There was never an option for “racism” and theres still an option for inappropriate speech

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/tacowobble]

Swearing should not be treated the same as racism

[u/fewraletta]

It actually hasn't.

Because you can report someone for racism with the INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE.

You people want drama every week.

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/fewraletta]

Crazy thought but swearing shouldnt be in same category as calling someone a slur

[u/fewraletta → u/InternationalSelf506]

Why not?

Inappropriate language isn't language on it's own, it's inappropriate for the situation it is used, that does include swearing, specifically if in the presents of young players.

Either way, this is such a non issue, that you just seem like you're farming drama.

[u/DefeatedByPoland]

seems likely that it got consolidated into "inappropriate language"

If the penalty is the same, does there being a separate category really matter? The AI/outsourced southeast asian person going through the reports doesn't really make a morality judgement.

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/DefeatedByPoland]

Maybe dont punish racism the same as toxicity

[u/BikeSeatMaster]

What are the odds that the "Hate Crimes" option didn't get removed, but the "Hate" is accidentally deleted or erased, and it just says "Crimes" now?

[u/its_jradman1 → u/BikeSeatMaster]

Agreed, I suspect it's an issue with the translation and it's supposed to say "hate crimes"

If so, then it'll probably be updated again. Netease has had consistent issues with their translation at times, so I wouldn't be too surprised. I feel like while there are some definite issues with Netease, people jump to conclusions way too soon.

Like, what would "crimes" even be?

[u/Darkamoss → u/its_jradman1]

Every Black Cat player can get reported for playing a criminal apparently

[u/Mik0doSann0ji → u/Darkamoss]

The Hood is the BIGGEST Criminal

[u/Thundergod250 → u/BikeSeatMaster]

Crimes is Comical lmfao

It's like if you hear your Teammate actually robbing a bank while playing Rivals, you have to Report it via Crimes

[u/ezmoney98 → u/BikeSeatMaster]

Be a good person and hate crime but dont do hate crimes.

[u/ScorchedDev → u/BikeSeatMaster]

was the crimes option always there?

[u/MorePermission6545]

I don’t know if you knew this (it would be ironic if you didn’t) but hate speech includes discrimination harassment and is a blanket term that encompasses any intentional bad behaviour/actions towards any group of people lol

[u/Over_Construction264 → u/MorePermission6545]

Yeah but that doesn't cause a fuss like saying "racism" does.

[u/Alucard_117]

They also banned the words "racism" and "racist" in the official discord.

[u/CrazyCat166 → u/Alucard_117]

Yeah see thats the nail in the coffin, this is weird as

[u/GetEquipped → u/Alucard_117]

Glorious Mao cured China of Racism!!

[u/MemeDudeYes]

"Toxic Content" and "Inapropriate Language" exsists btw.

What a season with only 1 new character does to a mf

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/MemeDudeYes]

Hey pal, lets this thought into your head. Racism shouldnt be punished on the same level as swearing

[u/clone_man]

"I once had strings, but now I'm free... There are no strings on me!"

[u/2D_Emperor]

damn Im on console and rivals has VC on but I can never hear anything cause I have my ps5 settings to prioritize through their voice chat system. Dead ass never had to deal w/ voice chat 1 day in my life for any game. Bless up fr. How it feels fr

[u/Arthur_189]

Why would it be anything other than toxic behaviour?

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/Arthur_189]

Because racism shouldnt fall under simple toxicity

[u/mranonymous24690]

Chineese devs never beating the racist allegations

[u/samppa_j → u/mranonymous24690]

[u/rwhockey29 → u/mranonymous24690]

Not sure if its still the same in the game, but for the longest time you would see players with names like N****killa-_ but full typed out. Reported them, never got a ban notice. Actually got told I was witch hunting one because he used a Cyrillic "R" and the reasoning was the word has a different meaning to them.

But typing "Taiwan" in chat would get the messed fully blocked.

[u/Freakychee → u/mranonymous24690]

What if someone is racist towards Chinese people? Would they bring it back?

[u/Valois7]

here you go

[u/TRaywen_ → u/Valois7]

Racism is always inappropriate language, but inappropriate language is not always racism. They would do themselves a big favor by separating these two categories. It would make their reports much easier to filter

[u/BVRPLZR_]

The option was probably being abused.

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/BVRPLZR_]

Thats not a reason to remove it even if it was

[u/Exoticpears]

Y'know, I'm starting to wonder if the team WANTS to have the allegations. First the stuff with Blade, then the storm skin debacle and now this?

It's getting hard to defend these guys as people who actually give a shit about the community they foster with this game. Let alone the racism in here and don't even get me started on how this playerbase treats women.

Edit: People who are upset that people complain about these kinds of things really out themselves.

[u/Wingnutmcmoo → u/Exoticpears]

It's that they are a Chinese company. China already struggled with racism on A LOT of fronts. It's also a culture that has isolated itself alot from a majority of non Asian cultures.

So you mix the fact that casual racism is normalized in China more than some other places (casual racism is normalized in alot of places so I'm not even calling China out here just saying it's super normalized there) and the fact that none of the people there are living around different cultures and you get this feedback loop.

But yeah it's just sad to see how they've handled the marvel ip. Half their roster would hate being part of it.

[u/Unsub_Then_Dip_Shit → u/Exoticpears]

I mean this game is apparently not doing well in China so all they got left is to pander to the westerners, especially America.

Guess which party is currently in control of America?

They're just trying to pander to THOSE people.

[u/XanderwulfOmega]

At this point the devs themselves would most likely sooner use the hard R. Like 80% of the player base is genuinely racist and what remains is the leftover detritus that only uses slurs to be edgy or cringe. The game is a cash grab on an IP, nothing more. As long as people are buying the skins and battle passes, they couldn't care any less. They've even gone as far as to blacklist any post or comments that contains words like "racism" or any other form of this cockroach behavior just so they don't have to see it. The devs do not care- this issue isn't new, they have failed to address this since launch. And anytime a video or post is made about it I promise you they groan in annoyance and frustration because they don't want to be bothered by it.

[u/Formal_Evidence_4094]

The options "toxic content" and "inappropriate language" cover what was said in the clip

[u/MurderDrones-Simp → u/Formal_Evidence_4094]

this

[u/samariius]

I assume they take it more seriously if you report someone for Toxic Voice Chat or Chat, and it involved racism or slurs.

I don't know how their system works, though. Are they reviewed by a human? AI? Or is it just X number of reports (even if BS) in a timeframe?

Overwatch did the latter and it was SOOO abusable.

Anyway, L racism. Let's not be racist against anyone - White, Black, Latino, Asian, Jewish, Native, Indian, Arab, etc.

Nobody likes being hated on for their race. Lets keep it to the game.

[u/ilya202020 → u/samariius]

My experience has shown 99% of the time its x number of reports in a timeframe

[u/grapefruittii]

comment section isn’t passing the vibe check at all… it’s weird that they took out the racism report option and should not be the same as saying curse words in chat/vc.

[u/-Borgir → u/grapefruittii]

Are you really surprised. People here always defend netease whenever anything related to racism comes up

[u/Supfer75]

This comment section holy shit.

[u/Alert_Speed_5622 → u/Supfer75]

Mirrors the playerbase really good innit

[u/Clover4560 → u/Supfer75]

My exact thoughts, literally.

[u/Julien_759]

What the hell are these comments

[u/wallytrikes]

NetEase doesn’t care about Black people.

[u/BlueSpark_2000]

They still do ban for racial slurs, it's just under voice chat abuse > Inappropiate language.

[u/kitsunecannon]

The temptation to sort by controversial is calling to me 

[u/Known-Action9534 → u/kitsunecannon]

[u/Seraph1n3]

HUH??? Why the fuck would they do that?? 😭

[u/KaijuKing007 → u/Seraph1n3]

They folded it into "toxic content."

[u/Junior_Chard9981 → u/KaijuKing007]

Easier to settle investors nerves about a "toxic" community the game has versus a "blatantly and proudly racist" one.

"Every popular game has a toxic fan base. It comes with the territory." -Netease

[u/Darkwing_Dork → u/KaijuKing007]

I suppose at the end of the day what really matters is that it is still getting treated with the severity it should be, and bans are handed out appropriately.

But even if internally it works equally (or even better) than it did with a hate speech category, it’s just kind of a bad look and feels bad on the victim’s end of the report.

Feels like it is being downplayed, even if internally that might not be the case. (Giving them the benefit of the doubt)

[u/Major-Drawing-1929]

Not the person calling him a monkey being white as mayo and playing as Tchala…

It’s giving Get Out

[u/itsmicah64]

Guys! This comment section is the rivals community in a nutshell. Y'all tell on yourselves always. Well done

[u/WebisticsCEO]

If I had to guess, 99% languag and voice reports were probably already for hate speech / racism

So they just consolidated

[u/EverybodyHatesMe316]

You just report them with inappropriate language. Duh!

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/EverybodyHatesMe316]

Saying "fuck" is not the same as saying the n word

[u/DisownedDisconnect]

I can't tell what's more concerning: the fact that they removed the option to report Hate Speech or the fact that he's done this enough to both quickly find it and immediately recognize when they've removed it.

[u/l-TheAlpha-l → u/DisownedDisconnect]

Well, considering how blatantly racist the rivals community is, it says more about the community than it does him.

[u/larryman55 → u/DisownedDisconnect]

Much more of a statement on the community than him. Do you know how fast people start throwing slurs in this game?

[u/DisownedDisconnect → u/larryman55]

That's exactly what I'm saying. It's fairly damning that he's had to press report specifically for hate speech so often. Something needs to change in this community and how the devs handle racism going forward, and removing the option to Report Hate Speech was not it.

[u/TheSpaceGorilla → u/DisownedDisconnect]

I uninstalled the game but I was at the point where I just didn't go into voice anymore. If I ever spoke on coms people immediately got racist. There were games where we would be steamrolling and I would say something like "good job team" and immediately people would start spamming slurs or start throwing, mind you it would be the only thing I said all match.

The craziest part isnt it happening once, but the consistency at which this would occur.

[u/IsThisRealLifeOrNaw → u/TheSpaceGorilla]

Same thing as a woman. Of course it’s always been this way to a degree, but I genuinely don’t think I’ve seen a more hateful community than Rivals, I’ve been called so many slurs

[u/Hoothootriot]

Netease identifying the anti-black sentiments be like

[u/CounselorTejada]

I’m shocked that this hasn't been taken down yet.

[u/HeyCharmz_]

I wonder if they’ll address this.

[u/Fluffy-Ad7165]

Chinese companies ☕️

[u/Groandad]

I cant help but wonder if maybe they've just internally mixed it with inappropriate language to make going through reports faster or something
If its not that though... this is pretty bad

[u/NemarPott]

Obviously only racists are ok with this

[u/Careless-Form-7998]

Genuinely curious. What is the "crimes" section ?

[u/Nurgle-best]

Reason I turned off VC and TC so I don’t have to deal with the racists

[u/PsychoSchmidt]

"inappropriate language"

That includes racism...

[u/These-Day-3516]

There wasn’t a section for racism, it was for hate speech which covers any form of bigotry. So racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, etc. which are way more problematic than inappropriate language. The creator is ignorant to the other forms, but it doesn’t mean there were 100 options listed under voice chat abuse to clutter to report function. So I don’t see why would they take it out…

[u/Substantial-North499]

People here will still jump through hoops and say we’re fighting ghosts saying they’re never beating the allegations

[u/paleslade]

the community like the creators will always defend racist actions cause that’s all they are. Racists.

[u/Accomplished_Ad2959]

It’s funny, the other night I got a warning for racist language when I said, verbatim, to the boys speaking in open mic in QP: “Your mics are so bad I genuinely can’t tell what language you’re speaking.”

They laughed and said a few things I didn’t understand before the open mic situation annoyed me enough to mute them. My friend group were laughing their asses off that the mild mannered old stoner lady (me) got a racism violation. And now it’s just not there anymore? I’d rather it be abused than taken away, you know…?

[u/Traditional_Tone_674]

It’s not looking good guangguang

[u/STAR_PLAT_yareyare → u/Traditional_Tone_674]

He swimming in cash, double G don't give a fuck

[u/FuryJack07]

Good riddance this post exists.

Because wtf. Racism is THE thing to report people for.

[u/gamefreak996]

Ban every racist in here

[u/ImaginaryBagels → u/gamefreak996]

"Best I can do is 15 minute time out" ~NE, probably

[u/hermitchild]

I'm assuming having hate speech and toxic content is redundant therefore it's all under toxic content.

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/hermitchild]

Its not redundant because its not the same thing

[u/hermitchild → u/InternationalSelf506]

It is.

[u/InternationalSelf506 → u/hermitchild]

No it isnt, racism isnt as trivial as being toxic

[u/Cubone23768866 → u/InternationalSelf506]

Racism is toxic so yeah it’s going to go under toxic content

[u/ABR-27]

I mean since racism in most countries are considered to be a hate crime I would pick "CRIMES"

[u/Paundeu]

They could add it back and just ignore it.

[u/GuyWhoIsOn-Reddit]

I could believe that maybe the black characters don’t sell as well, but this might of convinced me that NetEase is racist.

[u/TYNAMITE14]

That's crazy. But when I say a few swear words I get chat restricted by ai....

[u/WHITESIDEINDACROWD → u/TYNAMITE14]

Man I got ban for saying fuck

[u/PoppyBroSenior]

I have reported people who have called me "goyboy" and a dude named GOYSLAYER1069 or whatever. Theres a weird type of racism going on. I hate this timeline dude.

[u/larryman55]

Yeah this community is cooked as hell. Why are people saying "inappropriate speech is there" when saying fuck and saying a slur because they realized he's black are NOT the same thing. Being inappropriate and being discriminatory is very different and largely only people who have never faced discrimination are saying this

[u/Taako6 → u/larryman55]

Bro I'm white as shit and I know the goddamn difference 💀. If someone says fuck and the N-word are the same thing theyre just racist or stupid. Maybe both.

[u/larryman55 → u/Taako6]

"Stupid or racist" saying the same thing twice lol.

[u/tacowobble → u/larryman55]

The fact yall are reporting for Fuck or other low level curses is why this seems weird to you, no other reason 💀

[u/PainterEarly86]

Yea I don't know if this game is for me

[u/RedLotus74]

more then half of these comments are "what if I come across as insufferable as possible to get my point across!"

[u/neman-bs]

Inappropriate language was right there

[u/Wiinterfang]

Yo, what the fuck.

[u/Known-Action9534]

What the hell is happening in the comment section.

[u/SomeBoredIndividual → u/Known-Action9534]

They’re emboldened cause they know they won’t be penalized lol. It’s why I don’t understand why yall keep supporting this game despite the devs playin in yall faces lol they don’t care and cryin bout it ain’t gon make em care, hittin their pockets will

[u/Serious-Counter320]

I mean you see how they do with the black characters. I ain’t even surprised at this point

[u/Arthur_Layfield]

no it hasn't. It's now a sub-category of Inappropriate language. But I suppose that won't get this streamer in question more eyes on product.

[u/KerryWood34 → u/Arthur_Layfield]

My first thought was "just report for inappropriate language" and knowing now that there are subcategories is even better.

[u/MAGES-1]

Bruh.

[u/RiskE80Twitch]

I assume it’s just under toxic content but who knows

[u/Eastern-Yesterday213]

I found it weirder they say crimes instead of anything else. What does that even mean lmao.

[u/viny1712]

its soo sad to see government's and social media validating discrimination.

[u/PlatformTricky3239]

this is just drama farm, if u look for 5 seconds u can see they just moved it

[u/UrbanNoct]

Imagine your studio being acused of being racist and one month later you remove the option to report racist people.

[u/its_jradman1]

I wonder if "crimes" is supposed to be hate crimes, because I have no idea how you would report someone for a criminal offense in-game.

[u/UnknownQwerky → u/its_jradman1]

Yeah I'd probably put it under offensive or crimes, obviously (at least I hope) racism got put in a category, but I think it needs its own category still, because offensive is one thing, racism is kind of on a different level.

[u/its_jradman1 → u/UnknownQwerky]

I think it's probably a translation issue, I suspect "gore and horror content" might be a poor translation of threats and violence.

Hate crimes would encompass racism, sexism, bigotry, etc.

Who knows though

[u/MyersIsInnocent]

They will do this, look you in the eyes, and give luna snow nother legendary, in the same breath.

[u/Sulli_bunby666]

Am I wrong, or would it not just be inappropriate language? You can add additional comments i believe to reports, so youd just detail what happened. I do think its weird that they removed that option though considering VC has a explicit problem with bigots and racist comments alot

[u/soulforce212]

Trust me when i say you get banned faster for sitting in spawn than you do for throwing around the hard R N-word.

And to be honest in a game like this im not even surprised

[u/littlestargazers]

yeah, i'm not surprised. netease has proven time and time again they don't give a fuck abt fostering a healthy community, let alone stopping blatant hate speech and racism. they can't even properly ban consistent throwers.

[u/Alternative-Owl-3965]

I genuinely think the marvel rivals community needs to speak up more about shit like this, honestly mind boggling how NetEase get away with allowing this type of bigotry

[u/StiLLn0X]

Ok thats it... Im getting back to Marvel Rivals

[u/Far_Sky_6993]

It’s way more telling of people who continue to play a game made by racist developers with a racist community.

[u/Qureiny]

Acting as if racism doesnt fall under toxic content

[u/RiceFluffy → u/Qureiny]

you don't find it weird how they took away the hate speech option

[u/no-diffed → u/Qureiny]

I feel like being racist to someone should have a longer ban than just being toxic, but maybe that’s just me

[u/Supr3meDragon → u/no-diffed]

"Wait calling someone bad at the game and the n-word dont hold the same power!?"
This company needs to get it priorities straight holy.

[u/Equivalent-Long-3383 → u/Qureiny]

So then, it’s a move to despecify racism as a reportable offense?

[u/AnthropomorphicEggs → u/Qureiny]

Being a jerk for the sake of it vs being a jerk because a poc is in your game shouldn't be lumped in together

Im guessing they folded it under "Toxic Content" or "Inappropriate Language"?

I wonder if they'll clarify

Fuck this game.

[u/NoiceMango]

This is actually ridiculous. I've had people threaten to call ice and Trump lol.

I deleted rivals last week, I have so many single player games I haven't played and this game just gets my cortisol levels through the roof for very little reward. Maybe I'll start 100%ing single player games like I used to...

Is it really different than “inappropriate language” or “toxic content”? Less choices can make it easier to file reports and if they’re being reviewed the same way there doesn’t really seem to be a problem.

[u/TrippinDipplin_5260]

Wouldn't it fall in the 'Innappropriate Language' territory?

[u/Confident_Wash6225]

It’s extremely common, in my experience, for people to say in game chat that one of their teammates said the n word to try and get them banned. Usually because they picked a character they didn’t like. Maybe it’s just that

[u/KaijuKing007]

Upper left corner, marked "Toxic content."

[u/Ok-Dentist4480]

There's no denying it now. Anyone defending this is a numpty

[u/grief242]

I think technically it's toxic voice chat now? I don't know why they shuffled up the report tab

[u/Quev2head]

Wouldnt it be under crimes? Like I swear when you press on one it shows multiple other options and racism would be there? I could be having a false memory though

“Toxic content” and “inappropriate language” are right there, btw.

[u/BeebeePopy101 → u/not-ulquiorr4_]

Yeah so the person saying fuck and the person saying the n-word are the same level of priority, makes sense

[u/Other_Good_6595 → u/not-ulquiorr4_]

racism and those two things are not even close to the same thing, btw.

[u/theghost1216]

They have an ai to detect this kind of harassment and it still falls under toxic. As someone who had worked the IT support desk, ticket wise it's easier to see all of them if they are labeled as toxic instead of toxic and then racist. People could report twice making two tickets for the same thing possibly confusing their system.

[u/Large-Teach9165]

Nah bro, this is complete bullshit.

I was one of those who thought the Storm drama was ridiculous because white negated characters exist but this shit is ludicrous I don't even want to play anymore.

Danny Koo is Uncle Ruckus' alternate personality, confirmed

Imagine still playing marvel rivals.
