Being offended by people saying offensive things isn't the problem. When someone gets stabbed by a random woods clown or something, you don't say the problem is the guy bleeding all over the place instead of just sucking it up. The problem is the arse with the knife.

The problem is 100% the cowards. Fortunately, the game has built in tools for dealing with such. Mute them, report them, and hope not to see them again. Just because crying on the boards about it is not the productive answer, it doesn't make them in the wrong either.

we're online and no one is being stalked or stabbed. imo bad analogy. in any case.. I stand by my statement. Grow thicker skin. Ignore the fan mail. Move on with your life. Profit.

All language at least in America is covered by freedom of speech, however what is relevant here is terms of service. Ubisoft can ban players for violating terms of service. Beyond that, let it roll off your back. Letting people stress you out isn't worth your time imo. Also the idea of forming a club with common interests is a great one.

Have any of you actually watched combat sports? They trash talk each other non stop... The famous Ali called Ernie Terrell a uncle tom he also said a bunch of racist **** to Joe frazier. Once again yall need to grow a pair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJX1uCY8h4w.

It's a hyperbolic example, but it scales down fine. Bad behavior is bad behavior, and it's the one doing the bad thing who's in the wrong, not the one being harmed, no matter how slight the actual harm may be. Your attitude is backwards if you're blaming the person harmed for being harmed.

Do I think a thick skin is a good thing to have in our world? Of course. Do people being arses online bother me? The quantity of them does, but their attacks on me don't. Nonetheless, holding people accountable for their actions is good for a community, so after I mute them or just stop paying attention to them if I'm too lazy or busy in-game to mute, I will happily report offensive players every time.

The intent of people trying to upset others is to disrupt and hurt their enjoyment of the game. So when I report these people, it's not about thick or thin skin, it's about helping to shape the community from a fairly toxic one to one where everyone can have a good time, which should be the goal of any community.

Perfectly said. This is the point. It's not about crying, being a baby, needing to grow up or grow a pair, or needing a thicker skin. It's about being a decent human being. Being decent is optional and you're entitled to behave like a scumbag if you want, but don't look down on others for trying to carry themselves with some dignity or for preferring to be part of a community that is not full of gutter level behaviour.

Who cares? SERIOUSLY, WHO CARES? its a bunch of words made out of pixels in a virtual reality. Stop being a ***** and untuck you're balls... do you think there's a mute button when you play sports and the other team is trash talking?

- Implying everyone tells other people to kill themselves in a sports match.

You know, there's fun banter and then there's toxicity, if people in this game said even half of what they do on a ****ing FRIENDLY sports match they would be on the ground where I come from.

So what? There will always be people throwing out insults. Cry now over this game, and you'll cry tomorrow at school, or work, or anywhere else in life. I guarantee you that if you're a baby over a game, your life will be horrid. Being a sensitive, cry baby, hall-monitor type will just yield an insane amount of reasons to cry, all through out your life time. Sure, you can get someone in trouble in a game, but what are you going to do in the real world?

It's much easier to just be an adult.

I see. So by your words, being a **** is what's considering being an "adult", right.

During a fight or before it?

In addition. Pro boxing id not really a sport - its entertainment. Just like gladiator fight were not actual fighting competitions but bloody entertainment to make the people shut up.

Karate, judo, fencing ... highly competitive martial arts and Olympic disciplines. If you insult your opponent there, it is a foul.


Again ... even in the USA, freedom of speech does not cover threats and insults. It gets you into jail. If I would insult a person on the streets of new york, I would get the chance to see a police station from the inside. If I would shout out death threats to someone in the streets of new york ---> six feet under.


In the end, it does not matter, because we are allowed to play the game, because we brought a license. This license can be revoked, if we don't follow ubisofts rules. Same thing with xbox live gold and its Ps equivalent. If we don't follow their rules (the rules we all agreed on), they can withdraw our privileges.
