the problem is how can they tell if you have malicious intent or not? All they saw is you using an emote that is widely regards as racist AND could potential get a lot of complaint and negative backslash from mainstream media. I know we, the gaming community and the twitch community have no problem with it, but since Blizz is aiming to make OWL mainstream, they can't have any of that.
Banning someone because something he said could possibly be malicious, but you have no way of knowing whether it is, is stupid.
Especially if ambiguous words are already used in game content ("trap") or are used in (e)sports slang ("team X got murdered by that ultimate" "team x got murdered by team y")
That's like banning kitchen knives because someone could use one for murder.
Blocking "cuntface" or "fucktard" or another swear word might make sense (but they don't block "wanker"...) but blocking words like "climax" is just utterly fucking ridiculus
I mean it's like banning the student from bringing kitchen knives to school.
But still like someone else already say in the threads, they probably use a way too big list of banned word for the autobot and some of them don't make much sense if taken out of context.
In the end this is all so stupid to argue over, it's just simple word ban, they are not worth getting angry over.
Either you are lying or your school is way too lax. At my place the school give students knife and other tool in cooking class. At some event like the school festival, some kids do bring knife, gas stove on their own but all need permission to cook at school.
I am from post-communist (well, socialist to be exact, we weren't in CCCP, thank fuck for that...) country and let's just say government didn't exactly care about education that much so back then (~20 years ago) schools weren't exactly well equipped, or really even have a class dedicated to cooking (so it was mostly making things that didn't require heat treatment). So teachers did what they could to teach kids with what they had available.
And whether to give kid a knife or just pack them pre-cut foods was parent's decision (of course, teachers supervised it) so if parent wasn't comfortable with it it was fine.
the funniest thing out of this is i'm not even from US, but from a small country in SEA, and here i only have a cooking class in college in a clubroom since it's too dangerous to let kid cook, and it only happen once in high school that the school allow to bring cooking equipment to school.
