  1. Terms of Use such as the portion you selected are present in, to my knowledge, nearly every single live-service I use. It isn't there to prevent people from being "offended," it's there to preserve the company's ability to respond to a very rapidly-evolving linguistic landscape. I'm reminded of an old Family Guy skit where a guy is rubbing his rear on the counter at a fast food place, loudly declaring "I'M DOING NOTHING ILLEGAL, SHOW ME THE LAW." Well, that boiler-plate section of the ToS is the law. It's non-specific by design. It's what allows the company to maintain the environment within its own service to reflect its own values, as is its right to do so. Literally the only thing preventing DE from perma-banning everyone in the game that uses the letter "A" in chat is market pressure; there's no reason for them to do it, but importantly, there's no legal reason they couldn't. You do not have the right to play Warframe, and DE has every right to do anything they want with their own property. If you do not agree with the company's values that they enforce, do not play the game. Your example here is rather toothless, making it sound like some sort of Snowflake Brigade is out here trying to censor you. If you're that worried about the consequences of your words, perhaps you should reconsider your behavior. I'll be over here not toeing the line of hate-speech and not worrying about getting banned. I'm sure your counterpoint to all this will be the Nezha debacle, but recall that those were volunteer moderators, and DE pivoted away from that model as a result.
