we literally can't type "earl grey" or "jasmine green" i'm dying lmaooooo WHY??
because tea = referencing teabag??? Nobody actually types about teabagging as a griefing method...? I'm SO confused by this filter

I’ve said this before, but the chat filter is ######### bananas. Both “camping” and “phone” were blocked for the killer one conversation, but not for me. (He said he facecamped because he just wanted to play with his phone.) However, I could say them with no problem.

It doesn't let me type Deutsch.
The name of a language.

did I mention I learned this because the killer said 'teabag'? I went to say I like earl grey. But the killer can say teabag.

I guess that’s too close to “douche” for them.

The chat filter needs a toggle, im an adult, I don't mind seeing bad words and bhvr doesn't need to coddle me like some 10 year old who still giggles at someone saying vagina.

Filter only accepts Red Rose (the finest of teas).

Also, some of the quotes have character saying “#########“. But we can’t say it? The quote for babysitter has “shithead” in it.

Not too mention using an @. Somewhere in the word gets around it so its not even a good filter. Also it will censor the dumbest ######### words like Myers.

Maybe because you need a proper brew to get through the redactions? Try Yorkshire Tea. Afterall, if it's good enough for Mr. Bean (no, not that one!) then it's good enough to surpass censorship:

They actually managed to make a worse chat filter than roblox and that's literally a kids game

Hehe, you said a funny word.

Tha chat filter is just an excuse to save money because they don't have to moderate end game chat anymore.

Why the hell does a horror game have such a strict chat filter? We watch the most vulgar movies on the planet.

You can't say "Michael Scott". For the longest time you couldn't say a lot of character names like "Myers" or "Jake". I have no idea what went through their heads when they implemented the system.

This is unacceptable anti-British censorship smh 😔
But seriously though, the filter is really bizarre. Pretty sure it tries to pick up on "context" or something else slightly more "smart" than simply "if word is on list, blank it out" like most traditional wordfilters. And it leads to situations where entire parts of sentences get blanked out.
I've said it since the start and I say it again, if it only blanked out stuff if people say something that's actually against the rules to say, it would be so much better. Blank out the whole line involving the word if they want to prevent the word to be easily identifiable through context. Make it so if you see **** in chat, you immediately know that you should probably report them for a chat violation.

I feel like people need to be aware that the filter blocks 'Quentin Quentin'.
Not 'Quentin', but 'Quentin Quentin'. This filter has ascended beyond mortal comprehension. It lives in the realms of the old gods, bathing in radiant insanity and feasting on our confusion.

I did wonder how you got to the point where you were discussing your favorite types of tea in chat!
I'm sure you can tell a lot about the chat filter goblin by the types of hot beverage he finds offensive.

Sorry to hear you have health issues over this. Its just a computer program.

With all the different ways they allow you to stab, hack, and chainsaw people, in graphic detail, it's just backwards thinking to put such a sensitive chat filter in an adult game. I'm a big boy-- I can handle ######### talking.

For real, if someone is old enough to see someone get eaten alive, stabbed, mutilated then they should be old enough to see those words.

I typed "i really didn't know you were right there" and "know you" got censored. While "toxic" isn't and "Yun-Jin" is, when it's literally the name of one of the survivor ^^
I guess it's not a finished version, for now i think it would be great to be able to enable and disable it at will.

I'm not allowed to say "herring", as in "red herring". I listed every other type of fish I could think of and those were permitted

I have tested at length, and you can say mugwort. Wait, people make mugwort into tea? I have a tincture and its supposed to help you have more vidid reams, or help you remember them--something related to dreams. Mugwort is okay apparently. Oolong--my personal favorite--is also okay. Any other ideas? Gimme some tea suggestions. Let's just find all the silly shiz

Darjeeling sounds potentially offensive
But then so does oolong (tastes offensive too sorry)

Try "Black Tea" to see if it's racist.
Maybe Matcha?

Unfortunately you are being protected from yourself for your own good. This is 2021. It’s progressive and powerful to treat adults like toddlers. Don’t be problematic. Get with the programme, or else you’ll be corrected.

A theory that I had a while back is that the filter censors out names, probably in case a player, for whatever reason, decides to doxx another player.
Might be far fetched but it could be plausible.

Literally 1984. First they don't let you say Myers in a video game, the next thing rats are eating your face
The chat filter is dumb but let's not get overexcited

The filter is incredibly dumb. I had someone say “slit ur wrists” to me, which wasn’t blocked btw, and also someone told me “go die” which was apparently fine, but then in a separate chat when I tried to say “delete Hawkins” the name of the map was censored. I also got censored for saying “glad I run Bond”.
I’ve never had an offensive word or insult be censored, I called someone a butthead the other day (jokingly) which was fine but Yun-Jin’s name gets censored for me every time. Why even have it at this point? People can freely call you slurs and tell you to die but the names of characters, maps and perks are blocked.

I play console now, but end game chat is always ridiculous regardless of situation. It censors out perfectly fine and suitable sentencing, but it lets the inhumane and deplorable ######### right through the filter. Insane.
Yup. And the thing is, this is actually true. Despite that being a joke and an over-exaggeration now, at the rate our societies are going, who knows where we'll end up?
Wouldn't call it far-fetched. People are absolute hypocritical monsters online nowadays. They'll dox anyone, from the sickest of internet fiends to the most innocent of children. Horrible stuff, and completely unjustified in every situation. But it happens.

It’s not very exciting. And you’re sort of missing the point but alright.

Very nice, thanks for that. I'm typing this while drinking mugwort. Have you drank green ginger tea before?
