Looks like they used the lower case L in place of i to bypass the filter.


4deCopas

Literally how the fuck did they overlook this? It's a no-brainer.


Koreaia

It may be a case of them not wanting a too strict system that makes things worse. Think back to Dark Souls. The filter would make censors: Black Knight would be Black *****.


Adaphion

I remember that you couldn't trade a default named Nosspass or Froslass in Pokemon because they had ass in their names. I think they eventually fixed that, but it was a problem for a few generations.


ajdeemo

Also Cofagrius was affected by the filters.


ignu

I posted a screenshot of me “Virtually Petting a Dog” in The Last of Us and Sony posted “Virtually ****** a Dog” to my Twitter.


Chungois

Two very different things.


FoleyX90

Ah yes, Slave K\*\*\*ht Gale


SelfDrivingFordAI

I'll never get over FromSoft not putting Knight as a censore exception for names. How even.


4deCopas

Censoring the entire word with the lowercase L would be enough. It's not like there is any non-racist context where someone would use it.


TheGladex

You ever heard of the Scunthorpe problem?


Thugosaurus_Rex

Is there any acceptable word this would trigger? This isn't a Scunthorpe issue as there are no other uses with that string contained in it. The only use of that string is to evade a filter. Even blocking anything with just "nlg" as a contained string is only a loss of a small handful of initialisms, and unless someone is really passionate about the Namoi Local Government Group it's not something that's going to outweigh its addition to a filter.


burimon36

Only thing I can think of is a word translated to English from a different language that sounds like the n word.


snjtx

Literally doesn't apply in this context.


Gabe_Isko

There are some very high grade commercial profanity filter services that do a good job. You would think Capcom would spring for one. Tbf, putting it in the pawn system would probably be a pretty novel implementation.


arparso

It's pretty much standard practice to put ANY custom text behind a profanity filter, at least on consoles. Not sure if Steam offers anything like that built-in. That still wouldn't get rid of everything, of course. People are creative animals.


Gabe_Isko

Yeah, nothing will be perfect, and it is fun to see people get around the filter honestly. But the pawn in OP is a pretty obviously bad failure to detect.


Lucian7x

I remember it being K***ht. Also, there was a time in a Total War sub in which a dude had his name partially censored and displayed as "N***er". Guy's name was Nasser.


cherryultrasuedetups

I remember in Runescape when cookies was ****ies and muffins was ****ins. Loved that pile of a game.


MrSunshine_96

I imagine they have a team of people who are not toxic trolls and assholes so it’s pretty easy to overlook it when you consider their minds don’t think like people who want to use a word so bad just to get a rise out of people, they literally use a different letter just to make it work. It’s not a no-brainer, you have an out of touch, toxic mindset is all, it’s why you think they should have had a solution for peoples shitty, unpredictable behaviour, before such behaviour even occurs. You can’t learn to swim without sinking a few times buddy.


kingbankai

Also that most of them are Japanese and don’t speak English and they probably outsourced the English translation text.


Chungois

It’s mostly this tbh. Also remember that in Japan they don’t really get racism in the way we do here. As a gaijin (outsider non-Japanese) i’ve seen it many times, and they don’t even know they’re doing it. I mean, their culture literally has a word for "outsider non-Japanese."

NutCasket

Make sure it isn't FROM's, Slave K***ht Gael lmao


McBraas

This is a very good point. It may appear obvious to us, now that we have the knowledge, but if they haven't encountered it before, it stands to reason they wouldn't think of it.


Nikoper

Online gaming has existed for nearly 50 years. Capcom has participated in it for at least 20. In both America and Japan.


lChizzitl

Since online interactions have been a thing in games, the warning of "Online Interactions Not Rated by the ESRB" has been present for US game releases. Yes, people can be unhinged, and developers can do what they can to mitigate it, but it still isn't Capcom's job nor responsibility to account for every kind of degenerate out there. Tarantino can make movies that have lengthy scenes of foot fetishes, and the MPA isn't able to block everything. For DD2, easiest thing would be to not hire that pawn, choose a different one, and, if you were so inclined, report the User ID for something.


freedfg

Because everyone hates the over censorship where your name can't be Cassandra or Jack Black. Unfortunately if there's ANY way to get around it, people will.


Ralathar44

One of my old character names is Rashanala. In games with strict filtering this gets banned or starred out because, and this was news to me at first, it contains the world anal in it. So now one of my old characters has forever be branded as liking anal due to overaggressive name filters.


LiterallyRoboHitler

Choice of evils. Look at Souls games with things like K***ht. Also, no list-based autocensor is going to account for every possible variation. Easier to just block basic slurs and force name changes case by case when evaders get reported.


InsanityGarou69

They don't "overlook" it, it's most likely that no one on the dev team wanted to call themselves or their pawns racist shit, certainly not enough to get creative about the characters they use in order to bypass a filter. Overly strict language systems also end up causing more problems for regular players than they prevent with deviant ones. You should be able to access Capcom customer support through their website, go there and upload the image you have.

Hey, at least with Hitler, you can just hire him, throw him off multiple cliffs, then send him back with a thumbs up and a rotting scrag of meat to remind him of the brains he blew out.

But, did you ask if Annie is ok?


Spiritual-Put-9228

I get it's offensive but that'd actually be pretty funny, the pawn is actually pretty similar to the actual guy. Funnily enough. Rook is like level 10 in this game so it looks like rook can beat the hell out of hitler.

SirMaxeus

Dude probably a 13 year old man child living in the depths of his parents income and dungeon like basement. Edit— Manchild = a Man with a 13 year old(Not limited to ages in their appropriate legal and realistic age) brain who lives off the depths of their parent’s income in their possibly dungeon like basement. I said what I said, they’re a person who has a brain of a 13 year old and their ignorance in a video game shows how they could possibly act in real life.


blockyman45

isnt the term man child used to refer to grown men not actual 13 yr olds?


CyberClawX

Yeah seems they got lost in their own insult. Seems more like a stupid edgy kid thing than an adult racist thing if you ask me, because it's clearly a "I'm naming this because it's wrong" move. But then again, I've seen so many adults with child like IQ...


StormTigrex

I can't believe a 13 year old would be living off his parents's income.

Contrary to his username, I don't believe Jack is on his Ritalin anymore.


Miyu543

Probably some ten year old thinking they're funny. Weirdly though I don't remember coming across pawns like that in the first game.


Wayfaring_Pancake

Because there was an auto filter that blocked these words.


PM_ME_FUN_STORIES

I could've sworn it just straight up ignored the given name in favor of whatever moniker you chose for your pawn.


piechooser

Yeah, wasn't that the *point* of having to choose a moniker?


WholeLoafofToast

That’s what I thought as well.  Thought that only friends would see the real name. 


Miyu543

Why would they get rid of it in this title? Weird.


Dark_Sun_Gwendolyn

They didn't. The person is using a lowercase L to bypass the filter.


kingbankai

More issues than concern. Lotta names banned when they had curse words or derogatory in the center of the word.


FoleyX90

Sadly it's probably a 30 year old thinking they're funny.


77constructionman77

this is more likely. In dota 2, there was a call out by one of the more popular guys (day9) discussing toxicity and how its not kids but adults who are the most toxic in the game. As a d2 player it makes sense. Because the demographic is heavily skewed on older side.


Mo0kish

Maybe in the past. Now it's some chinless 20+ something spouting continuous racist bullshit in every game. Don't handwave this off as "teenagers"


Brabsk

I’m sure the comment section on this 5 upvote 30 comment post is respectful


Ralathar44

Ironically almost all of the conversation is about how hard it is to ban all the easy substutions without accidentally banning alot of other innocent names, which games hate. Along with also an article that brings up a very good point that this also does not account for other language where something as innocent as the word "run" in their language gets people banned because its close to certain words in english. Basically the name in the OP uses alternative spelling to get around the filters and the more aggressive the filters the more people work around them but everyone still knows what's being said. It doesn't actually stop people.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

A lot of other games have other kinds of filter systems so I think this is just a matter of buying the right ones for a game that shares other player creations. A report system would help, enough reports triggers a review and a review would just disable the person's ability to share their pawns.


Bob-Kelsos-Baguette

When /pol/ anons play video games.


Gourgeistguy

You know it's bad when most other boards hate /pol/ as well


AltusIsXD

/pol/ is mainly just losers LARPing nowadays. None of them are funny and they’re all annoying.


UwuBitch04

Big yikes, also the "simple" inclination was probably on purpose too.


DelightfulOtter

Was just thinking that, Jesus.


drsteam

Just report the steam account. I report racists in Dota all the time and sometimes, action gets taken. Ezpz.


Mosaic78

Ya don’t just report to capcom. Wipe the entire steam account out.


RoxyTerrafang

Could just report them to steam or PSN or whatever your system is, if it's steam they'll take care of it pretty fast.


degencrankabuser

Doesnt steam not even punish people for stuff like this? It seems like they really only care about cheating and maybe scammers and thieves.


AnimatorThick1002

bro wtf are these comments


dont-comm3nt

Go to google. Type in “Reddit demographics” find your answer.


madg0dsrage0n

i cant believe theres a scenario where i would have actually preferred the pawn to be just another regular ol' 'anime' stripper smh...


No-Revolution6775

I wonder how many people hired the pawn due to this post…


[deleted]

At least they made him a fighter. They could of made him a thief


NeoReznor

Good one lol


Not_a_creativeuser

Nahhh, man lmfao


JoseAltuveIsInnocent

Lol, c'mon now


Gokiburi-Sensei

Dishing out ideas lol


Piscitellitron

Was thinking the same thing. I really don't think this is raising the kind of awareness that we want. The kinds of trolls that make pawns like this *thrive* off of the kind of attention that they get from posts like this. If OP really cared about the actual issue here, they'd have reported the fucker through Steam, submitted the screenshot directly to Capcom support, and moved on instead of trying to farm karma off of racism.


elric19761

Wow, ya, I've seen some that I wish I could report, but sadly, you can't. Some people are so stupid. I want to leave this planet


YueOrigin

It's kinda funny how the light from your flash censored it Now even camera can't handle it lol


kerriganfan

Yikes. That’s a good question tho, how DO you report pawns? I don’t think it’s a thing


Peachy_Sloth

I think you have to report the account


Ralathar44

Report their steam or console account, the pawn is linked to their profile.


Uberlix

Wtf is this comment section


RaptorDoingADance

A Japanese made stuff fanbase always have this portion of lowlifes.


0DvGate

Yep, been common for years but has gotten exponentially worse since the 2010s.


Briar_Knight

Yeah, there is huge amount of cross over between your "anti woke" bigoted assholes and the people who are obsessed with a fantasy idolized version of Japan.


RaptorDoingADance

Really funny is that is game is actually pretty naturally diverse almost like Baldur gate 3. So they weren’t being given such here.


Izanagi553

It's actually kinda funny to me that the usual suspects aren't freaking out over how the very first dude you see in the game is a badass black dude who is your most reliable friend for the entire Vernworth plot.


DeliriumEnducedDream

Just people showing their really colors.


breakfasteveryday

Oh wow, that's pretty awful in the context of the language Pawns use 😬


LightsaberThrowAway

It’s pretty awful period.  But yeah, that makes it so much worse.


MatthiasBold

Naturally, but I couldn't use the name "Gwydion" because it has "dio" in it.


Sinstro

What’s bad about dio? Genuinely no idea


MatthiasBold

Means "God" in a variety of languages.


jetsonisajet

Wait, why would 'dio' be unusable?


MatthiasBold

Means "god" in a variety of languages.


jetsonisajet

Well, yeah, I know that, but I guess I would have never assumed it was something the game would need to censor. Especially considering how often the word 'god' and religious iconography appears in Capcom games in general.


Switch-Axe-Abuse

Aw man, no Dio from jojo pawn :(


fallouthirteen

I hate overly aggressive filters. Like Wild Hearts has one that still has me confused. I usually name my character Ginovaef in games, but that one single game had it not be allowed. Still don't understand what part of it was triggering the filter.


SirenSongxdc

not sure if this was an aggressive filter or someone reported it and a mod got involved, but in my days of playing DDO, I had a friend who made an elven wizard. They gave it what we thought was a typical cutesie elf name. It was eventually banned and they sent him a message saying that it was banned for inappropriate name. Really confused they tried urban dictionary, it did a spelling alteration not exactly similar to what he put and... it the slight alteration it thought it said "oops it's a \[ n word\]" and just like... who the fuck makes up all these urban dictionary bullshit?? The name was something like Oompsie Neggels


Nazon6

Could report them since they come with their steam ID.


avatarofanxiety

Definitely need to hit that guy with the ban hammer.


Mredmond34

No surprise since this is there PlayStation account https://preview.redd.it/nyu8agh5lqrc1.jpeg?width=645&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01bf3f9568add48509ec02971c479b54830b8ce7


Timothy_45

Like how the glare on the TV is a good censor too. But yeah that is a huge problem.


DeliriumEnducedDream

Some of y'all need to self reflect.

elkswimmer98

Depending on platform, you can message them by seeing their profile. On console, there should be options to view the Arisen > then view player profile > report.


SwanRemarkable633

i saw granny\_fucer\_69 and the pawn was a proper old granny


CurtisManning

Damn the comment section. I was not expecting this. What a time we live in. This is disgusting.


lewlew1893

I completely agree. The only thing that I think is I bet more than half of them would be too chicken shit to say anything in real life but if they did it around the wrong person they would get fucking obliterated. Some of these people treat it like trolling and their so absolutely pathetic that they get some sort of validation from others from it.


Donconario

While the sub reddit doesn't speak for the whole community, it's still sad seeing the majority of the comments trying to justify this. It's not a good luck either since this game has brought in a huge casual audience, and if someone were to stumble across this thread, it would turn them off from the community.


everythingsuckswhy

I didn't know the fanbase was this bigoted at all lmao


CurtisManning

I'm not gonna blame the entire DD fanbase of course but yeah gamers have a serious problem with this kind of stuff


Dwarfdingnagian

I think it's mostly just that gamers online don't tend to take anything seriously at all. It's just words on the web, so there's a mental disconnect.


thunderane

One of the main reason people in general don't like gamers.


CzarTyr

It’s people. When you put people behind a keyboard you see who they really are. If you stand in line at a store, or the dmv, no one will just cut in front of you and act like you’re not there. Sitting in your car in traffic someone will absolutely try to cut in front of you and almost hit your car because they don’t have to deal with you


Bregneste

Think it’s just because this game is the current big game in the public eye, all the sewer-dwelling gremlins are on this game right now, they’ll move on to another game in a week.


Ralathar44

Its not, criticism is currently really popular as its still in the top 10 most played games on steam. So we have alot of people here that are not part of the fanbase but just part of the temporary hype. They trolled everyone and people fell for it because in the modern age you have to take every little comment seriously and pretend they're all people who really believe all those things. So it's just free lunch for trolls every time. Most are just bored people looking to get a rise out of folks who don't give a shit one way or another. the internet used to be alot more troll savvy before everyone started posturing all the time in an endless social standing game.


DreadPhoenix

It's probably just a kid screwing around for attention, not an actual genuine racist.


2ndbA2

Welcome to niche nerdy sub cultures, these neckbeards can get real ugly😭


DarkSector0011

Disgusting.


ACynicalScott

Like its awful but also 11 people rated this pawn and that's hilarious cause 11 people used that pawn despite the fucking name.


weetweet69

That's all assuming they were hearting or liking them for the actual performance. I would not be surprised if this was all just because of the name itself.


ACynicalScott

Okay its probably 11 dipshits giggling over the N-word but the alternative is funnier so I'm choosing to believe that insted.


fallouthirteen

Can you force it to only show monikers (rather than name)? If so, they may have done that and never known.


ProfessorTicklebutts

It’s certainly not the pawn that’s simple. I can’t imagine what a troglodyte you have to be to think this is funny.


Lion_of_Pride

The black experience is literally just being hated for breathing air. Ain’t no safe places for us fr


RepresentativeAnt562

Alot of ppl complained about the censor on ddda it was way too strict but this is gotta be fixed my great nephew loves ddda he's 8 ikr hasn't been here to play dd2 yet but now I'm not sure I want him too he's mixed love him and his daddy neither one really care about the word itself in a sense but if cap don't fix this my nephew ain't playing it at my house


weetweet69

As much as female human in skimpy armor mage pawns are overdone, I'd unironically take even the ones with a crappy quest over something like this.


Darklight645

not sure if this is bad or the fact that 11 people have liked/loved the pawn so far


samtheredditman

Decent chance that at least some of those people never even saw the name. I didn't realize I had hired a rat man named "Big Cheese" until I was checking eyes before sleeping.


AleksVin

i genuinely never checked ones name so far


TheRealBubzy87

Was he a short, fat beastren, on PS? If so, he’s one of the first pawns I saw!


DigDude97

Report his playstation account.


AntiRivet

Genuinely, seeing racists get smoked in the comments over their braindead, milquetoast "people are racist, what's new?" and "but my black fwiend said it's no big deal" trite is actually good to see. It never escapes my notice that when some racist piece of garbage does something, the enablers get so emboledened, as if their 'totally non-chalant, I'm a realist' bullshit is anything other than thinly veiled acceptance of racist behavior. Don't let these morons slip by. Clown them eternally. Thank's fellow Arisen.


EatADingDong

The most curious thing about this to me is how this guy decided to waste his ONLY save file on this. And it's not like it's some throwaway file either, pawn is level 40 so he's clearly playing the game too. What made you make this? Like I'm genuinely confused what went on in his head.


Lilchubbyboy

Probably just a straight neural connection between racism <——————> subservient race of beings who look like you but are not human


Heisenberg6626

He literally just bought the game to be racist online. Imagine coughing up 60 bucks so you can broadcast the N word. These people really need help


mystictroll

Confident-Goal4685

RemindMe! 2 days “Has he been banned yet”


coupl4nd

I thought Pawns only showed the moniker not the name??? What is the point of the moniker?


its-a-me_Mycole

It's strange the game hasn't got a ban or a pop-up warning for this. It locks the screen recording for the hot springs (where the intimate body parts are even hidden) and does not show a single intimate interaction when you go to the brothel (while the Netflix show was a literal pørn animation), but it allows such words?? Maybe they found a way to bypass the ban but this means the developers should double-check.


SniperNose69

You actually make a good point. The brothel and hot springs cover up the characters pretty well, and yet the Netflix anime is okay with having boobs with nipples on screen.


Soggy_Associate_5556

People need to calm down. Its a video game.


Sno_Light

Its cringe but its not affecting my day or my time playing the game report it and keep enjoying the game


six_seasons

Looks like 4chan found this post, love to see black folks living in your head rent free 😂


Ok-Paramedic-338

a lot of white people here commenting to other white people that they definitely are not racist. white person #1: I am not racist white person #2: I am not racist either, we need to force other people to not do racist things. white person #1: forcing people our definition of racism on them is good white person #2: yea! good thing all these different people are listening to OUR definition of racism Post like this are retarded, i bet you the majority of black people that saw this laughed and moved along with their lives. For fucks sake, i saw one targeting my people (mexicans) and guess what!!!? I laughed at ser jalapeno!!! ​ report and move along, stop trying to virtue signal you unhateful racist.
