Venting?

This is interesting because it proves Square Enix knows how to preserve classic Final Fantasy UI and sprites yet chooses not to for its iOS\android releases. SMH.

Maybe I should have been more specific..... I was referring to "hate speech" as a buzz phrase, which is how I interpret it. And by "someone" I meant a person in a position of rank that could actually make that call (to ban someone based on their behavior, as you put it.)

Even if you are hypothetically correct, you're in denial if you think that "hate speech" can't be used by someone with an agenda to bend the law to their will.

It's called groupthink and it's a very bad thing. Social media has already become a huge hub of it, now gaming forums are headed that way too.

Sure trolls, bigots, and homophobes are a blight on society, but is censorship really the answer? I mean who's to decide what's offensive and what's not? This is a slippery slope that some are more than too happy to make even more slippery. Freedom of speech is one of those things in life worth fighting for more…

The last bastion of freedoms known as the internet, is now slowly being enclosed off. It was only a matter of time. I like how all the white knights are coming out of the woodwork to defend the fact that freedoms of expression and opinion are being stifled and everyones like YAY FOR SILENCING OF OPINIONS!!! No, it's…

Yet another victory against free speech.
