EPTIn any case, Blizzard would be extremely dumb to keep this custom map off the radar, it's freaking amazing. Such an amazing game mode for competitive and casual players.

It means no strip Sarah Kerrigan's or sexy pics 69. FUCK. When I was 12 Brood War was my entertainment, social life, and porn. Now it has been stripped down to entertainment. And sometimes I even question that. | ||

first of all, words are not offensive unless directed towards people, anyone who cries over a word simply existing needs to grow the hell up especially when it is made clear that every single word is in the dictionary and is therefore no more offensive than reading the dictionary. second, this game has curse words in the single player and i regularly get people insulting the shit out of me in ladder just for using any given strategy. blizzard doesn't seem to mind either, so why the hypocrisy? third this is a T rated game so people who are crying about offensive words should've read the damn rating before buying the game and realized that online play isn't even rated and you are running the risk of being offended by simplying having the internet. fourth this is a custom made map that blizzard shouldn't be trying to control and censor in the first place. how about you make a not shitty custom map system before you go and try to censor one of the only custom maps that even make it through that garbage? if blizzard keeps pulling this hands-on-everything bullshit i'm going to get out of their system with the quickness as soon as its possible to play on private servers. honestly i think i'm already at that point as it is, but stuff like this makes me impatient for it to come out already. it feels like i lose faith in them with every move they publicly make and that they can't do anything but take 5 steps backward before accidentally stumbling forward a step. | ||

Agreed ^^ Ripping a head off a greek god? Fine. A woman who has breasts and nipples? AO!! SOCCER MOM RANT!! I though Blizzard would be better than this... At least they could of contacted the uploader with a list of words to remove. | ||

I do not think it will be helpful for Blizzard to censor its own fanbase, on the other hand they want to keep the game as clean as they can (iE giving the option to report players for excessive flaming). It is hard to judge over words and the meaning of it, but I think Blizzard is doing well with reacting to the users who put effort into it and are willing to change the "inappropiate" content. I hope the map will be playable again soon. | ||

This isn't to say that I agree or disagree with Blizzards stance in regards to "all content online should be safe for 10 year olds," I'm simply saying that there's undoubtedly a large amount of swears/curses/vulgarities that I've had to type. | ||
