There is also a slider for white nationalism.
Holy shit I thought this was a bit until I watched the source. This is honestly one of the funniest things I've ever seen, G*mers are so toxic and hated that a multi billion dollar corporation sees potential profit in selling the ability to automatically mute certain people in voice chat.
petition for hexbear to have an n-word toggle in the settings, and if you toggle it on you get permabanned
I thought "on" meant turning on the filter to ban it.
This could lead to some confusion.
The fact that the good option is to put big blue N-Word Button to ON is the icing on the cake
We already have that, make a thread "islamophobia is bad" and a small group of Well-Actuallys will come running.
I posted the "not my comrades" image once, and you cannot believe how many people told on themselves.
Imagine you study machine learning to just to write code that detects the gamer word. Funniest thing about this is that it's totally necessary and unironically good
Necessary, but not the correct solution.
Empowering players with a tool to mute racists is the incorrect path. The solution isn't to mute the perps but to actually punish them so they stop the behaviour.
If this tech exists then a push should start to actually have the online portion of games get rated. The language of players should be rated with the same lens that is given to the offline game or movies.
This will force the companies to actually implement the tech in a way that punishes the people doing it. You need the regulation to do it otherwise the companies won't implement it in this way, they will consistently try NOT to implement it because they will be scared that they'll lose customers to their competitor who does not punish people for the nword.
The online portion of games needs an age rating.
That's my thought. You're only legitimizing hardcore capital G Gamers by making an excuse outlet for them to point out whenever their toxic behavior is called out.
Then people would get banned for saying "fuck".
Remember, in the eyes (ears?) of the boomers running this shit, all curse words are equally bad.
Okay, but consider, I will never have to deal with an 8 year old who knows more racial slurs than me at work.
I'm ok with this. It shouldn't be said around children. I think even in the "adult" games it's a worthwhile tradeoff against white supremacy, racists and fascists.
Agreed. In games where it's an option, I turn off all language filtering so that I can see and report the racist fucks.
Rating the online part of a game is such an obvious solution I can't believe I've never heard about it or thought about it before.
It would completely force all companies to address the problem and quickly. The discourse about online activities of children in these videogames would immediately hit breakfast tv and be in front of the eyes of moms everywhere, globally. When they hear and see what is going on (because the media would sensationalise the shit out of it) the steam behind regulating it and getting the online portion rated would pick up pace rapidly.
You bet they'd be fucking eager to regulate themselves when that train got rolling. If the tech exists to handle this now then we should push for it. The excuse they had before was ultimately that it was impossible to really moderate voice interactions between people, AI will make that no longer true and it opens the door to really pushing the issue.
I think leftists should consider joining in on that (but not wearing your red flag). Taking away the reactionary nature of the videogame online space would hurt the Gamer™ to alt-right pipeline.
Then you'd have agencies deciding if people are black enough to drop the gamer word.
It's not the correct solution but the correct solution would have to come from the game devs and not Intel
Do you really need ml for that? Some regex should be able to catch anything that's not obfuscated to the point of nearly being unreadable
yes you do, an ML as in a Marxist-Leninist who'll send racists to the Gulag
you're welcome to fix the hexbear filter that keeps inserting removed in the middle of words
That makes it even better, like yes, I'm way more comfortable now just hearing some of the terrible things being said about me. Also the fact that it seems to be per user is just dumb. Like 2 people with N-WORD ENABLED and Some Mysoginy can converse while someone who has those filtered only hears bleeps. That's not solving a problem, that's just putting a bandaid on it.
"C'mon man turn the N-Word filter off and put the Racism slider to max, we're trying to do this mission and you know how Mike is."
Literally nothing means anything anymore, satire has become reality, the thread of prophecy is severed, restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created :dprk-stare:
Just remember what Tom Lehrer said about his job as a satirical musician: “Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.”
Keeping the peace by turning down the racism and xenophobia dial to "some."
The kicker is I can't tell if this video is downvoted by G*mers mad at le cancel culture or by leftists screaming WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?
It's always gamers. They'll use it to claim they're the ones being censored and oppressed by corporations.
