The Profanity Filter Breaks Chat

I know you’re not addressing me, but I do want to reiterate, this is exactly what I have issue with. Put the freedom of speech issues aside, which I could argue in favor of until sun down, my issue is with their lack of control over their end product.
I’m taking my presuppositions from this post:

If this poster is at all accurate, I’m not about this. What else is included in these servers? Do they collect any personal data or system data? Key strokes? Lmao, at what point does this become spyware? Why wasn’t I made aware of what these servers entailed when I started playing? I could say the same about Windows 10 as a whole, but I at least have control over whether I use that as an OS and what I do with it. If I have no choice and I’m not even being made aware of what’s being done in the background when I’m playing this game, I’m going to take issue. I certainly wasn’t made aware that I was going to be encountering this issue when I purchased the game, save for a wall of text that’s likely hidden in an options menu somewhere.

In any case, I suppose them being a subsidiary of Microsoft means I’m going to need to just bite the bullet and accept what’s being handed to me because it’s not reasonable to expect them to defy corporate decisions. However, I will be once bitten, twice shy. That said, it’s still ridiculous that it censors blue.
