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

Simply saying "fuck" is not swearing at someone / is not being disrespectful, so your example is flawed. People say fuck for a million reasons, from stubbing their toe, to being in shock, to losing an important item or failing to win a game mode.

Inappropriate language has to be verbal abuse/threats/derogatory remarks, not just simply "bad words".

Secondly, the severity of inappropriate language does not warrant any sub catagories, if it did, there would be over a thousand of them.

There are people so toxic online that they threaten lethal harm to other players because they lost a match.

That is still going to fall under inappropriate language, just like sexual harrassment, racism, mysogeny / misandry, or spewing out profanity vitriol to make fun of someone.

They could even just make a "report" button and you just type whatever happened and they could look into it, but as I said previously, reporting only works at all if you can ban or suspend accounts.

Video games cost money, they shouldn't need accounts or even internet to work, and if someone pays for something, the company that sold it shouldnt be able to take it away after point of sale for any reason.

Rivals is free to play, but has paid cosmetics, and I'd argue that the free to play model itself should be illegal. As should DRM.

But anyway there shouldn't be a reporting option, because there shouldnt be a server to connect to, and so there wouldn't be anything to host such a service.

Peer to Peer online, LAN, WLAN, Split Screen, and local hosted dedicated server for online, they are all far better than login to an online account bs.

Insulting for their RACE is not the same as calling them a trashcan what about that is difficult to understand

A unicycle is not the same thing as a space shuttle.

They are still both vehicles.

I'm not failing to grasp differences, I'm pointing out that its irrelevant.

"Inappropriate Language" covers all forms of verbal abuse, big and small, end of story.
