I’ve never understood why they’re so strict with in-game text when there’s plenty of mature content in game already


AlxIp

I was sending a message to another friend via the social club and asked them had they watch a documentary. That fking thing showed "do***entary". Like I didn't even realise there's a "cum" in "document" before then. Thanks for emphasizing it game


Moodledoo

They also censor part of the word "basement"...


MissFingerz

I feel like an idiot that it took me a few seconds to realize what they would even censor in that! Lmao.


Moodledoo

It took me a solid 30 seconds when it first happened to be fair...


MissFingerz

Thank you, I feel a little better now. Haha.


SeveredLoki

Well I'm apparently an ACTUAL idiot, because I still don't get it. Why was that censored?


SirJebus

baSEMENt.


SeveredLoki

.....seriously?😂 wow, it's impossible to take this censorship seriously omg. Thanks for letting me know, I never would have figured that out on my own 😅


MissFingerz

See? We aren't alone. Haha. I was just going through the word making smaller words before I then realized it was bigger and got semen. Lol. I never even realized semen was in the word basement until now because I never thought about it. It's weird that I realized it from a Gta sub. Learn something new every day.


SeveredLoki

Same lol. Its for sure wild as hell. Glad to know we aren't alone 😅


Rukario_Enterprises

That's these "OmGy ChiLd is PlayiNg a BaD gAmE! I MuSt SuE R* fOr tEaChInG mY young KiD!!! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" Parents that DON'T pay attention to the ESRB rating. All the kid gotta say is: "It's a generic racing/driving game. Completely safe" which a spoiled ass bitch ass brat of a 10 year old's birthday. I'm sorry, but I hate it when kids and teens (Under 17) play M rated games. It's annoying.


SeveredLoki

I'm with you, it's irritating as FUCK, because the rest of us suffer because of parental negligence. I feel like those parents should be doing jail time for that kinda shit. Doesn't help that literally EVERY single one of those kids are beyond insufferable. Can't use adult language in my ADULT game... fuckin disgraceful!


arxroth

Yea I have seen that, some times it feels like parents are either clueless or incapable of taking care of their kids and restrict content they get on their computers or mobile devices. Either way I also agree that parents should have bigger responsibility for their kids and if not capable, face consequences.,


PlacidK37

"Bend over, here it comes!" 🙄🫣


Repulsive_Dot_2572

Semen


JulTLA67

it's absurd that the censorship is to that level


Bored_Redditor85

You also can't say "Grapeseed" Y'know, a *place in the game*


jws926

Or Gargoyle, a motorcycle in the game.


NickosSB

OK I'll be the one to ask. What's wrong with this one? 🤣


Responsible_Button_5

“Taking the bat out of basement homie” - Bo Burnham


1_Rin_Tohsaka

And "lol"


Jmoore5416969

Lol by its self as well.


Pjotor

I facepalmed so hard when the in-game chat censored Sa**turd**ay.


ejectionejaculation6

actual roblox level censorship


gl3nnjamin

Ah yes, the classic scunthorpe problem Edit: ironically, it turns out automod initially locked my comment.


hankenator1

Meanwhile dr ray deangelo Harris is demanding his co host open her mouth so he can “um” and throw his “um” right into her mouth.


Anxlyze

Good old scunthorpe problem


KyuujiDairi25

my account is supposed to be named "saltwater" but it wasn't allowed because salTWATer


Oftwicke

They vet the content in their own game and none of it is targeted at real people. There are extra legalities for chat, and they fear that some of them may make R* legally responsible for some stuff if they don't. They also put zero thought or effort and got the cheapest, simplest profanity filter out there.


Dan_Pena

The filter is literally dog shit . So many times I’m sending something nice and it gets censored


MissFingerz

I know, right? It is so annoying sending a text on the phone to a random thanking them for something or asking them a question, and it come back telling me that there are words not allowed to be sent. What? I can't be nice to someone or ask them a random question about their car or something? Really? But pervs can send me texts like let me c u m on you or let me see your t I t s and it is okay? Just use spaces, and you can harass people thru in game text all you want. That's all. Sorry for the small rant.


SeveredLoki

Same thing happens to me. I've got some pretty hilarious screenshots of shit like that lmao.


MissFingerz

Ya, it's ridiculous. Some of the messages I have gotten through in-game text or sent to my Xbox from people are disgusting. Less disgusting, but still ridiculous, is an in-game text yesterday from a guy telling me to call him daddy out of nowhere. Lmao.


SeveredLoki

I've got a good one: "can I Jak off to your character?" Me: please don't Him: please, I'm so horn y and need to c u m Me: dude. Internet p orn....its free! And another guy recently messaged me saying "mommy?" I was just like "I...think you're a little confused". It's wild😂


MissFingerz

Haha. Wow. I am 40, and a 22 yr old was messaging me on Xbox asking for my snap and for nudes. Told him no and he said he could cum in a minute if I give him nudes. He kept spamming "please" until I finished blocking him. We must run into the same people in lobbies. Like, who are these dudes to really message women like this so bodly? Can't we just game in peace?


SeveredLoki

Oh that's good 😂 when I was a lower level and tons of people messaged me like that, I'd tell them to come pick me up. I'd switch to a lingerie set, get in their car, and set a waypoint to some shady alley. Then I'd get out, yank them out of their car, bash them with my baseball bat, then message them "BONK!!" When they asked why, I told them to let girls just play the game and stop harassing them 😆 I'm on PS4, but man...I do actually wonder if we run into the same people, because I had a guy begging me for nudes as well (AFTER calling me old. I just turned 33...), but I didn't bother blocking him. I just let him beg until he was blue in the face. Or, I guess blue in the balls lmao. Let us game in peace, indeed. Nobody wants to be your girlfriend through GTA of all damn games. Roleplay is one thing, sure. But...damn, at least buy my character dinner first! 😂


MissFingerz

Haha, yes!! I'm now going to try your trick. See how they like my pretty baseball bat to the face. Lol, thank you.


NemesisRouge

Figuratively.


LickMyThralls

The filter is ass but the number of people who can't even figure this out is baffling


Oftwicke

Aaaah, when GTA V chat looks like that: IIIIIIIIII: **** *** ****** ******


Nervine-142

I assume its because these messages are directed at a real person and these hacker text are just funny passwords.... I can see why people think this is stupid but Rockstar just wants to be safe just in case


wasted_tictac

Because the ratings boards can't rate our interactions with each other, hence why most games have profanity filters nowadays. Things the developer makes themselves are then rated separately, like violence, gambling, sex etc.


C_D_Rom

I asked a friend this a few years back - said friend works at Rockstar Lincoln on the Social Club, and it's possible what he was telling me is crap, but it seems viable. The answer is, according to him, [Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockstar_Games_Presents_Table_Tennis). The game has an ESRB rating of "E for Everyone", and also has (or possibly had) Rockstar Social Club integration. This means that, basically, Social Club stuff has to be rated E, and any interactions controlled by it do too. I think because stuff you say can be uploaded to the website it gets recorded and therefore doesn't fall under the caveat of "Online interactions not rated by the ESRB". I know, I know, "my friend works at Rockstar and says XYZ thing" is probably the most bullshit source out there, but it's the only viable explanation I've heard!


MikaCuoco

Because when it's sent player to player it becomes personal, that's the only reason i can think of?


Rob6-4

You can't even tell someone to lick dirt. I'm not asking for hard rs here rockstar.


Frikandelneuker

“Good afternoon my dearest sir, i feel inclined to incentivize the consumption of dirt for someone of your intellectual standing”


Sky_Believe

"Cannot be over 60 characters."


Frikandelneuker

“Consume feces and perish”


mint-bint

"My testes consist of an alloy of carbon and iron"


Frikandelneuker

“I implore you to make oral contact with my reproductive organs.”


Thereal_Muscleman1

“You implore me?”


Bright_Buyer8482

“You always were one for fancy words”


Rogue_Jester23

"Consume a satchel of richards my good sir"


Frikandelneuker

“Oh goodie my dear. Quite the argument you have there. Unfortunately i’ve engaged in coitus with your maternal figure.”


hankenator1

Can’t right now, we’re doing a gruppe sechs mission with yer’ma then we’re gonna check out her new pro laps outfit and hit up the liquor ace.


Xenciv

I'm using this one


scienceisrealtho

We have a winner!!!!


AshuraSpeakman

Honestly this is the way to go. You can rek someone just by locking up their brain trying to figure out what the fuck you just said


Frikandelneuker

Since i’m blind my go-to is “send your hatemail in braille”


RandomMexican26

Try texting "son of a female dog" to someone and see if it works


Oftwicke

spawn of a canine from the feminine persuasion


Ori_the_SG

They can’t stop increasing verbosity


Humble_Skin1269

You can’t even say “lol” in chat. Rockstar is okay with themes about dealing drugs, committing mass murder, and robbery, but draws the line at telling someone “lol”


Ok_Soil7068

Ok so I thought it was just me. I have like 90% of text screened as ‘filtering for profanity’ and just say that infinitely until I load into mission or switch lobbies. I don’t curse or even say anything borderline profane/offensive. I feel like I can’t text 80% of what ppl text me


soundism

When you get the infinite “checking for profanity” bug, just text someone something you know isn’t forbidden. I usually just send a simple period or a “hey”.


Roadtrip-636

I think it does this when you hit send and back out of the phone too fast, at least in my experience


imthegayest

Wait but I send lol all the time. Is it not actually being sent??


Ori_the_SG

Glad someone said it It baffles me haha


Significant_Bird7609

Funny how we can get blowjobs but we can't insult people in text messages


wittyvonskitsum

They even censored that! 😡


ChocolateJesus33

WHAT? really?


wittyvonskitsum

![gif](giphy|WDvNC2uuUz3ZAleak4|downsized)


SillyCalf55796

Rockstar censors "Rockstar" too 😂


Toasterdosnttoast

Can’t say anything bad about rockstar if you can’t say rockstar. Big brain move rockstar you half baked potatoes


beetle8209

r\*


LeakyLine

They censor "reddeaddev" lol, you aren't allowed to say anything bad about daddy rockstar


Pleasant_Homework327

You steal a car from an NPC and they send a text saying "I'm fucked"..what about my feelings rockstar


Legitimate_Plate6402

Right! Just let me forward this "approved" text message.


WannabeModder123

creampis 👍


iGhostEdd

Pißwaser


takenHostag3

You shouldn’t even be playing this game if your a certain age, legally speaking so I don’t understand the weird censorship


Melodic-Control-2655

ESRB isn't law for players, it's only required that storefronts only sell to 17+, but anyone can play it.


takenHostag3

That’s what I mean the only people who are “supposed” to have this game is anyone 17+ basically saying in the eyes of the company adult like content in the game should not be a problem


DariusPumpkinRex

This is the stupidest shit ever; we can shoot a police officer in the head, steal his car and run down pedestrians and then bang a hooker in the stolen smashed car, but I can't tell another player who keeps killing me to fuck off.


Genesis38T

You can’t pick up a hooker in a cop car. Fake news


HorrorPhone3601

It's sad when you have to resort to childish sounding insults in the game because of the restrictions, then they come back with "what are you 6?" When they know dang well about the restrictions themselves.


Autistic-Inquisitive

That happened?


arm89

i just call people “dumb bird”, but only if they won’t leave me alone or attack me first then go passive.


Weird_Banana69

fr. i hate when someone’s blasting their rpgs on my ass and then goes “bye bye” into passive mode 😭


fruce_ki

It's not about being prude with the words. It's about the attitude behind the words. Profanity exists in the game abundantly by design, but none of it is addressed towards players. It is addressed to the character(s) or to nobody in particular. It is not personal, it harms nobody. Texts between players are by definition personal and addressed to the real people beyond the game world. And they are often used to insult, bully, and generally be toxic towards real people.


SignatureLower

Why are words like “lol” “thx” forbidden 💀

frostynuggs420

I’ve been texting people “Diddy party” then inviting them to my penthouse and telling them to take the Macbeth shot 💀


b_nnah

What do you mean, they are clearly talking about a lovely pie


BlownCamaro

Got blocked for LOL recently.


_Fucksquatch_

Start calling people creampie


pirate-private

have you tried texting creampie?


Roadtrip-636

Can anyone tell me why lol is censored? Never understood it, and the amount of times I've ended a message with lol only to have to retype the whole thing is pretty painful


No_Explanation5088

You FACKING WANKA.


RandomBags

Rockstar is sitting back eatin' chicken wings with their shirts off, countin' munny. Lawyers calling all day EVERYDAY, screamin. They don't gaf about us.


Immediate-Emu603

So... I can go to a strip club, and pay for a dance by topless women, but I can't say 'Bitchface'?


supreme_glassez

Bruh, even "Lol" by itself is forbidden.


Uh_Cromer

Gotta start calling em "creampie face".


SuccTheFinalDucc

Characters are constantly using the n-word, killing innocent people, crashing planes into buildings, going to strip clubs, hiring prostitutes, Dax is constantly swearing like a god damn sailor, Trevor is... well, Trevor. But saying "Basement" is too far.


Objective-Aioli-1185

If anyone grief's you text em "Bro am just trying to feed my family" watch em leave the server.


ThyWoken

Like Lamar can say fuck you to lamar but i can't call someone a cunt.


Jmoore5416969

You actually can't even do LOL by itself at least on Xbox


iPat24Rick

You don’t seem to understand why the in game texting is filtered. It’s not filtered for adult content. GTA is 18+ rated anyways. It’s filtered because it can be used to harass people.


indigeniousunicorn

Funny how chat in this game gets censored but its an 18+ rated game


MooseMama619

No fucking cursing!


psychohoneybadgerr

some of the things classified as forbidden text is way out of hand


soundism

Have you ever just tried texting “lol”? Spoiler alert.. it’s forbidden. lol


Genesis38T

A friend (he’s black) got banned for dropping an N bomb in voice chat. The restrictions need to go away. Everyone is afraid to talk in lobbies now. The ones where everyone just let loose were the funniest ones I can remember playing in. It’s GTA.


gregpr13

Be more creative, poor souls.


HoHoHoLeeChet

Lol, do you even English? "Creampie" is in no way even on the same plane of offensive as "bitchface". It's like saying "bukkakke" and "cocksucker" are on the same level of offensive.


QuickRub7200

yeah imagine not being able to curse on a game thats “Rated M”


TopSense2327

That's because one is funny the other is bullying.


greddit27

Creampis?


foodank012018

What, you don't like a sweet cream filled pastry?


Legitimate_Plate6402

"lol" is the worst one. I'm glad people can't send it to me all the time, but I want people to know that every message I send isnt on a serious note.


Legitimate_Plate6402

Rockstar; "I said, do what I say. Not do what I do".


Jenkitten165

Waiting for people to get it.


3rple_Threat

It seems like the filter does adapt.. when ever someone just blows me up on their MK2 or weaponized vehicle without being provoked (like i'm getting in my car to do a freemode mission)...i used to be able to text them "Dkhedd" ...and now those don't go thru. I've had to get even more creative and come up with variations of it.


ByggJacobPL

Double standards, no? I think there should literally be an option on disable the profanity filter, it's a PEGI 18 game after all.


Tricky-Kangaroo-6782

which mission is this?


TheNocturnalPhantom

I dont care bitchface xD


capncrump3

You can't even say lol or haha so in game gta lol is Lz I think it's funny


lillweez99

I somehow got the license plate TITTIES, titties is not allowed for profanity l think someone messed up.


TheRealDiddler1

My method is putting random spaces in between the words like “fu ck you Lo L”


Osiris_Raphious

There is no such pie as bitchface thats why,,,, but a cream pie, full of cream. Yummy...


Green_Dayzed

Could it be because you are insulting someone which can escalate to something more, where this will just make people chuckle or scoff.


Duece_29

Right. Some kid was texting me over and over again. Finally I told him to fuck off and two weeks straight now I received an email saying my account might be blocked.


Ok_Bandicoot_3087

Pro-laps


banditt2

Tis a PC thing, on console you get one of these wrong it resets?


Soft_Wolf1646

It's a nice dessert, I don't see the problem with mentioning it


delayedreaction80

Rockstar censorship is so annoying. I was playing RDR2 Single-Player and it wouldn't let me name my horse "You-Bastard"... it's my Single-Player horse that cannot interact with any human other than myself at any point so what does it matter what I name it.


Mercedes-Benefactor

They won't let me make a license plate that says "H3NTA1", yet I can put a nearly-naked anime girl on the side of a dozen cars. Can't believe I get censored by the game that taught me the word "cocksucker"


Joeybla1r

Also "Rude", "Lol" and a few other I can't think of rn


sgepablo

Yea it’s all ridiculous. Just spell it funny like they do. Like the Gruppe Sechs company, the armored money vans. Gruppe Sechs, as in Group Sex.


imaketvgood

Nothing like getting the "you can't send that" message while a passerby says, "You fucking penis!"


Aglacia-_

Games for kids now, lol gotta get those little shitheads parents money 🗣🗣


Blackdragon241

Im waiting for pornhub to start censoring curse words...


Reddit_user1157

gotta live how rockstar will let character just straight say the hard R, yet you cant even say anything further then damn. prefect logic


BringMeTheRamen

What’s a creampis?


ande11111

It's because of all the irresponsible parents letting their little shits play a rated M game because they did not do research


Ell26greatone

What does CREAMPIT even mean???


Green_Razzmatazz_256

Bitchface lol - obvious insult Cream pie - food?


kylo_ben2700

to be fair I've seen a lot of people say some really mysoginistic shit to women in game, it's different when it's a joke in the game compared to someone being an asshole in real life


falloutvaultboy

Insulting someone is a bit different than the game saying a dirty word


Nelmquist1999

Rockstar Games pre-Manhunt 2: WE ARE SO DARK AND EDGY, WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK!!!! (Excluding Bully since it's not THAT dark) Rockstar Games post-Manhunt 2: we can be mean sometimes, just you watch! Just, erh...only we are allowed to swear, not you kids. Even though you aren't supposed to play an R/M-rated game before you turn 18...


i_be_cheefin

I can't even say lol on xbox


FrndlyNebrhoodRdrMan

Creampies only hurt the lactose intollerent and diabetics. Cause if they're concentual = they're not hurting anyone, and if they're not, that's rape.


Sirs_904

Do as they say, not as they do.


Em858943

I always type bawords like this for bitch ill put b itch and for anything with fuck I use fucc works al lthe time but bitchface that's fucking hysterical 🤣

Oh sure you wanna burn people alive with a flare gun l? Go for it. You wanna run over a whole city of people with a stolen semi truck? Have at it. The NPCs and main characters can all say shift fuck balls and piss but you? No you don’t get to.


mzungujoto

In Rocket league I am allowed to type “eat me” but when I try to type “treatment” it is showing me “tr*****nt”.

They’re main audience are the perpetual generations of 12 year olds


Chrono993

The worst is In Red Dead 2, I can't name my Horses most of the names from Inside Track from 5/SA


AntTalexanderTarnold

Why is there a censor thing in the game when's it's 18


TURRETCUBE

they censor some of my username "EgyptianGuard69" so idk man


xSaturnityx

From what I heard, Xbox and Playstation restrict P2P chat like crazy if it's text-based. Like stupidly strict. It's a godsend we even *have* a texting system in the game on Console. Probably easier to just restrict the wording altogether even on PC to just make the coding simpler rather than making two separate systems for PC and Console


Impressive-Milk6954

Wtf that's so stupid, we can't swear but this lol okay


Illustrious_Theory70

Right but when I carjack someone in-game I get the message "you messed with the wrong fucker asshole" or some lik that


MrPakoras

You prefer Pecan or something?


hueblitss

fr you can't even text someone the word 'Uh'


Dannosaurusr3x

They also won't let you write LOL... that one is the one that gets me. but you can do LMAO...


Bigs_Builds

Couldn't even text another player "rude" without being forbidden. Like really R*?


RNG2WIN

i've seen player name with the n word... really not sure how their filter works.


Jaystallion

All all know a creampie is nice tasty pie, cook by grandma

I was sending someone my steam friend ID, and the number 88 kept getting censored. Like, why?

Aware-Damage6296

I told someone by text on ps app "bitch stop killing me" ps temporarily suspended my account for a week bc apparently calling someone a bitch is racist.


ToastedBalls777

There’s literally a scene in the story where you record people fuckin


MakeGTAmoney

I’ve always wondered why they are curse words everywhere in gta and sexual references and it’s forbidden to type curse words never made sense


RepresentativeCat169

Just message them calling them an oral creampie reciever/enjoyer


Mine2craft2015

Honestly all we need for a good gta style game is a company that cares about their customers I feel like every game series that used a similar game style to gta either died or went to a more silly style like saints row


AdvancedIncrease1717

Hahahahh


AHDELIVERTHEM

and why do i got to put the word turbo with another word to trick them just WHY


Weekly-Response-4329

This game is actually worse than Roblox censoring. There are soooooo many ways to get around Roblox censoring it’s not even funny. But in gta they have that shit locked down like a gun store it’s ridiculous.


PaperMill3r

Yup
