Also in before the Free Speech Warriors, this is meant to stop 12 year olds from shouting the N word while playing COD (or 8 year olds from doing the same on Roblox). That's the target market. Some parents would really like it if their kids don't have the use of racial slurs normalized in their everyday speech....
Oh, and before I forget, can we get the slider an "8-Chan" setting? Or would that be like Spinal Tap's "going to 11"?

I'm curious what things would sound like with the Swearing slider set to none, but everything else maxed out. Kids these days can't call someone a Jew faggot without also throwing in 4 F-Bombs.
You know gamers are just going to see this as a new toy to play with. Intel might as well set up an official Achievement Board to save people the trouble of making an unofficial one.
And by the way, thanks for the reminder of why I stick to single-player gaming these days.
if kids get around it with slang. This isn't about the kids, it's about their parents. Their parents won't know if they use new slang to mean the same thing, it'll sound like harmless nonsense. The goal here is to make it so the parents aren't hearing their kids say racial slurs so they don't take little Timmy's copy of COD away (or worse, not let him buy all the DLC and next years boxed special edition).

You do realize that 12 year olds who happen to have certain skin tones believe they SHOULD be able to say this word freely and that they also believe kids of other skin tones should NOT be able to say this word freely..and that you agree with banning the former makes you the racist?

Heaven forbid those parents actually do some parenting.
