Autism CENSORED on Minecraft

Post Reply New Topic

Yes, that's right, if you try to make a sign that says "autism" on a server on Minecraft for Xbox, it gets censored. I am currently running a server with my 48-hour Xbox Live Gold and one of the server rules is no using autism as an insult, and the sign on the rules list got censored.

Surely, you'd be opening yourself up as an easy target for cyber-bulling and harassment with a server name of "Autism"?

Minecraft is meant to be a relatively "family-friendly" game so I guess such a word has been censored to prevent such an attraction of potential negativity from trolls etc.

That's probably a GOOD thing.

It shouldn't be used as an insult...

...and people play video games to forget about their (and everyone else's) problems and get out of themselves for a little bit.

It's not exactly a great platform for activism, either. It's a place to have fun.

Just to be 101% sure, it was on the SERVER RULES, which are signs, which are items in-game you can place and make them say stuff, and one of the rules was, do not use autism as an insult. Simple to understand.
