Phookamom Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Several HotFixes in a row now (starting with the Hyekka skin release, from what I can recall) have been sexually explicit and suggestive, if not blatant (like the one right now). We're not supposed to know which Dev is writing the RedText, but as of now that just means they won't be held accountable for what they're saying. Were players to say the same kind of things in chat or in the forums we'd get in trouble, yet the RedText is allowed to subject the entire community to this. RedText used to be funny, punny, and silly, but now? This is disgusting and I'm disappointed that it's been happening at all, let alone so many times now. How exactly do we get this addressed? Who do we go to to make this stop? Is there any way this Dev can be held accountable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArbitUHM Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I wouldn't call it sexual harassment but RedText has certainly been going for Xtreme 3dgy potty humor for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phookamom Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I say harassment because you can't block RedText, you can't just click "Ignore". Edited January 4, 2017 by Phookamom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xirka Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I don't think you understand what harassment is. You can choose to not read what Redtext says if you have such a problem with it. This game is rated M or 18+ , it can contain such things, and you accepted that when you agreed to the TOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cray Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I've been laughing at redtext for years. This is the first time I've ever seen anyone take issue like this... Just now, Phookamom said: I say harassment because you can't block RedText, you can just click "Ignore". That's not harassment, that's an oversight. If you don't want to see redtext, say so, but don't twist it into something sinister that's targeting you personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phookamom Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Or, you know, I can speak up and say, "Hey, this isn't cool, can you not?" and maybe, just maybe, something will be done about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homiedudemanguy Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 whatever happened to ignoring things or just getting over it? It's like we live in a world where were not allowed to joke anymore and somehow text is harassment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg_Chen Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm extremely disappointed, offended and indeed traumatised that 2 people have upvoted the original post (as of this moment). This needs to stop now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritchsqueaker Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) You.. you do know this game is rated *M* right? You're fine with blood and body parts going all over but even the slightest mention of something maybe sexual and you're up in arms?

Doxorn Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Where Redtext gone sexual? I am very curious. Can you please show me a picture of that "sexual harassment"?

Not likely. I'd wager that the majority of people rather enjoy redtext's harmless jokes. Oh, and look up what harassment means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaus Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Innuendo is not harassment. This game has an age restriction. Mentioning things of a sexual nature is NOT equivalent to harassment. In much the same way that mentioning disintegration by amprex wouldn't be assault. Crying wolf like this also degrades actual conversation and pointing out issues of real harassment. Don't do it.

(XBOX)I Killed brunts Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 You are joking right? We have guns that gas people to death, a frame that burns you alive in your own skin, flamethrowers, people being infested and turned into monsters in brutal manners...and OH NO THE DEV MESSAGES WE GET ONCE IN A WHILE MADE A REFERENCE TO SEX?! I would also like to see this apparent sexual harassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
