As we all know, the level of foreign BUFF is getting higher and higher nowadays, and you don't have a bottom for a few BUFFs. Originally, I thought that if we played the game, we would eat a melon, after all, it was not a domestic or a circle. But I didn't expect that recently because of the BUFF problem has been exposed to the game is also more and more ah.
TabletopSimulator, a board game simulator game that has received rave reviews on Steam recently, has been attacked by a large number of players because of this problem.
Cause of the matter
As a board game simulator, TabletopSimulator is naturally indispensable for chatting. In-game players can chat with players around the world through the chat function, but usually the game content will block some words in the chat function.
Recently, a self-proclaimed "transgender mother" player found that he would be silenced and kicked out of the chat channel after playing the word GAY in the game. It can be seen that the word GAY is also included in the comparison word, and the player later found that words such as straight (heterosexual) are not problematic.
From this, the player draws a conclusion that this is discrimination!
So the player contacted the production team and the administrator by email, but the production team did not reply, and one of the administrators said that this was a choice made to have some bad situations. But the player was not satisfied, so he published a 200-page GOOGLE file with his own gaming experience.
As we all know, the beautiful country has always been the supreme dish, so this matter has become more and more noisy. If you dare to provoke this group of people this year, the author and the work will be cut off.
After the matter was big, the production team also came forward, saying that it was just a misunderstanding. The player was banned not because he sent GAY as an expression of identity, but because he was constantly sending different keywords and was considered harassing, so he was banned. Subsequently, officials said that as long as the player's behavior is not deliberately offensive and sabotaging the game, it is allowed to discuss the topic.
But it's not a place where you can share your identity and these kinds of issues, it's not a platform to discuss sex, fetishes, orientations.
After the official release of the statement, Tabletop Simulator announced the suspension of the game's chat room function and reformulated the moderation mechanism in the chat room. As the player's legendary experience spreads, the Steam comment area has become another battlefield.
Some people give bad reviews because the chat function is closed, some people give bad reviews because of the production group's "homophobia" and "transphobic", in short, cattle ghosts and snake gods.

Of course, where there are opponents, there are supporters. When some people have bad reviews, there are also a group of players who are already homophobic and afraid of collapse to give praise.
Think about Ubisoft's character revision, and then think about today's character costumes and skin changes, who can think that the game circle can't escape this hurdle?
