So the "illusion" you speak of is actually a very-helpful game mechanic.And it succeeds in limiting the "toxicity" of words or phrases that may affect someone negatively.
This game doesn't a toxic nature, it has a highly competitive one, its how players respond to this competitiveness that creates toxicity.Like if someone loses they could be like "oh well at least it was fun", "Gg" ,or they could scream(internally)and type "unfair,rigged,Stupid kid was lucky i lagged" . I myself try to stay on the 1st response 80%of the time , but the latter happens with a lot of players.
"They'll just find a different adjective to hurt people that isn't considered culturally explicit but when used in the right way acts in the same way as any other ''curse'' words."
IF they find a new abbreviation or made up "adjective" to use menacingly, 90% of graal players, Thats about 900, folks (used to be 3k+ ROFL) Would rather laugh at it or see it as a joke than take it seriously.(ie. "you bish", "shet","Mthfker" etc.)
I cant say much for the staff part, besides if thats true it would be really sad on their part.On the note of being "customer focused" id say we have around even-steven number of people supporting both sides, meaning its not the most popular with the the general graal community or it would be flooded with people,not the same ones arguing over and over.
Finally i assume you read my essays which each time i hoped to end it once and for all but *sigh* i guess not.It stated the meaning of said swearwords/cursewords.
Believing that words which are being blocked out currently are harmless is baloney. its not far-fetched to say these words were shaped into something people use to express their hatred or dislike with something, or someone.Which in so they would be recognized as such.A mother wouldnt teach her baby to use a cussword every time they wanted cereal,or when they were tired,Because it carries a bad-meaning,or feeling even with them.
Another example would be if you were driving and saw a really long line of signs just calling you every curse, swear, name in the book.Im pretty sure you wouldnt go on with your happy self like nothing happened, you would form a thought, what this thought is im to bored typing this to explain, but it would be a response of some sort.
Hopefully this ends it but if not rip my time
