How the fuck did retard become hate speech in gaming circles? You get banned for it on Steam, Discord and on lots of online games now.
We are at a point where the word isn't banned because it's offensive to the retards themselves (cause they don't play vidya anyway, they're retarded) but because it was being used against people who were getting emotional cause they suck at games.
What's next, stupid? idiot?
They probably did it because you can shut down a sperg by calling him a retard. Going by that they'll probably ban "u mad?" next.
>You get banned for it on Steam
You dont get banned for it on Steam.
Stop making things up Epic shill
user, you're defending insulting strangers over a video game.
Just give it a whirl in your mind, will ya?

stupid means dumb. retard means a mental disability/developmental issue. if you can't see the difference than you're just ignorant... which means uneducated. also, if you're whining about not being able to insult people freely... you're a kid. you'll understand when you're older.
Yes, because those retards honestly deserve it. They just sit there and take without throwing bantz back or even muting the asshole ripping into them.
I would post a video of some dumb mother just taking it and crying on cs:go but I can't find the vid.
I'm not a big free speech sperg but the same people who decried the use of retard are also condemning words like idiot or stupid for the same reasons.
Shit-talk (over text) is an absolutely essential part of competitive online gaming. The meme of wanting to be free of 'xbox live kids' comes from voice chat only. Where most of the annoying part was their extremely low-quality, background-noise laden audio of their screechy voices. Not the fact that they were calling you a nigger/faggot/etc. or saying they'd fucked your mom. Again, that's all just part of the experience.
hey, can we please not use that word on 4channel please, this is a christian imageboard for advertisers
thank you
you have to be a retard to not get why people don't think its acceptable to call others a retard in most circles.

Fuck off faggot we play multiplayer games to play against emotional humans, not polite robots picking words off an approved list
>You get banned for it on Steam
Where?
You get moderated actions for saying retard or autist and enough of those would lead to you getting banned, retard.
and by christian you mean resetera fags
true... and that's overkill. it's just I never understood what anyone gets out of calling someone anything in an online game. what do you think happens? do you think person even cares? really? or do you think they just load up another match and carry on. you have no effect when you insult someone online, people probably just look at you like you're the asshole AND you put yourself in a position of getting banned. it's like voluntarily fucking yourself for entirely no reason.
>What's next, stupid? idiot?
Unironically yes. Ableism is the official term for discriminating against the disabled and anti-ableists want every word even RELATED to disabilities banned. Words like "crazy" and "mad" would trigger them and they'd call you out for hate speech.
Who cares they are mentally disabled and don't know anyway, it's like giving a blind guy the finger.
Just pirate games, I got tired after being banned once too many and having my reviews suppressed once too many.
Fuck those nigger kike cunts.
In the distopian future ALL words you can use in a belittling fashion will be banned, at that point people will use sarcasm "you're a very good player, very good!" and that too will be banned!
Young people swearing was annoying as hell on consoles, but being able to hear the few making serious efforts to communicate was really uplifting.
>Shit-talk (over text) is an absolutely essential part of competitive online gaming.
Maybe if your friends are dudebro retards. You don't hear people at your local cricket club calling eachother retards. Maybe it takes a brain to make fun of someone not playing very well without resorting to high school level insults. Maybe it takes an adult?
the sad part is this is what we are actually headed towards
>You get banned for it on Steam
Where?
Go there and call people retard or autistic, you'll see. The mods are retarded.
>play against emotional humans
in any other activity on the face of the fucking planet, boys keep other boys in check in terms of getting emotional. women get emotional, men don't. if you were hanging out with your friends and you got emotional they'd make fun of you. but not online video games... boys have no problems showcasing their emotional breakdowns without any shame at all. it's the only place it seems to be acceptable. why?
in short, stop acting like a bitch.
2u
Women don't understand men and they are getting too much power over mens hobbies.
This is why all this emotional shit is happening.
Most guys call their friends all the most awful shit you can ever imagine, and laugh about it.
Where there? Games? Reviews? Forums?
any forum
wow not every place is Yea Forums who knew
fucking retard
He's right though. You technically got emotionally motivated to respond to his post. He was acting like a little bitch and that anger/pissed you off enough to reply.
There are communities that ban "stupid" and "idiot" because it's "ablist" speech that can be taken to be insulting in their fucked-up minds.
It's retarded.
user, you're defending being a retarded faggot. let that sink in
You get banned from a community, meaning its the games community mods that bans you, not anyone working for steam. faggot
Same thing, you still get punished for saying it.
Wow hes defending his natural right to say whatever he wants to cause hes not a slave. What a retard!
>REEEEEE I GOT BANNED FOR ACTING LIKE A FAGGOT IN A SHILDED OFF COMMUNITY!!!
You should finger yourself til you start to bleed
>in any other activity on the face of the fucking planet, boys keep other boys in check in terms of getting emotional.
Total bs.
unironically because "left leaning marxist sjw whatever youwant to call them" people/groups want to control your thoughts through the control of language. Language/tone policing is a way to subvert the concept of freedom of speech and give them the moral highground when censoring you for expressing an opinion.
>sensor "hateful" speech
>keep moving the goalpost
>everything I disagree with is literally hate-speech
>chat moderation is handled by clinically psychotic tranny tumblrinas
That's why you either install a bot loaded with curse words to detect, or just sensor nothing and just block spamming and links.
Thats because its offensive to the retards you mong, just call them French instead.
>What's next, stupid? idiot?
Yes. There are people who want all these things banned. I've seen people reprimand others for using the word "lame". There's no end at all to how unsafe and insecure they feel.
What happens if a guy hits a woman in the majority of cases?
other dudes stop him, they control the situation
