Why is chat censoring still in the game

Can't even hold a normal conversation without the system hiding everything. Make it optional

    The censorship is fine. Because you can be 18+ and still not really deal well with slurs.

    The problem is more that the Chatfilter is just bad. Some Words go by but other normal words (or just character names) get censored. And this has nothing to do how strict the filter is, it is just badly implemented. Normal conversations are censored, but if you are a bit creative how to tell someone to end themselves, you will be fine.

    @Topic:

    Agreed. At the very least it should be able to disable the Chatfilter. I dont care if some random person on the internet insults me, but I do care about my normal texts ending up as a bunch of #s… And it would be totally fine to have the Chatfilter on as default and you have to go to the settings to disable it.

    Slurs and hate speech are one thing but basic cussing is fine. The worst part is how you cant even say the term "killer" and so many other basic words lol im pretty sure the letter "S" is also blocked. It's just so silly

    Yeah, I just dont like that you said that it is rated M for Mature. Being mature does just not mean that a Chatfilter would not make any sense, if you get what I mean.

    So the general idea of having a Chatfilter (even if it really SHOULD be optional) is great. Just that the implementation is really bad, because as you said, you cannot say basic DBD-Terms.

    If some moron wants to tell me to **** myself (starts with either k or f there), I don't really care and it should at least be optional to turn off "harmful" chat.

    Many of us are big kids, we can take it.

    itcs a game for adults showing gore and brutal deaths and it censors f uck...

    and if it only censored "bad words"... but it censors character names, random words, "you", "gg", "kill" (in a game about killing.... smh), and so on... it's ridiculous

    Yeah, the chat filter is insane, it can't even figure out when it wants to censor something or not. Like this crazy chat I got last week…
