I'm with the GP, companies aren't there to censor (unless it's a kids game). I don't like the toxic nature of many who play games, but at most the company should look into harassment / abuse, not censor words. My reasoning is Poe's Law. One could be using a would-be censored word or phrase to describe something in a non-offending way. A farmer might say, "I have several bitches to sell, would you be interested?" Here, bitches is used appropriately to describe female dogs. My example may be shite, though I hope the point is made.

(Nevermind the use of exposure therapy to make certain words/events less impactful on an individual)

Just want to chime in and say I'm actually personally very affable and I do not rant and rave online. I just have no issues with those who do.

Smells to me we're a couple of crying fat kids away from banning people for pulling a Leroy Jenkins.
