Kids will come up with other terms to make fun of people. Personally I find this horrible. I don't think real bullying (even psychologically) should be tolerated, I also think kids should be allowed to be kids, which is going to mean some amount of making fun of people. I can't imagine what it would be like to grow up being electronically monitored for rightthink during conversations with my friends.
It's very interesting that Call of Duty is willing to put in all the development time and effort to pay for and implement this feature when in all reality, the feature has already existed and it's power is in the hands of the players.<p>Block people. Mute them. Join a different lobby. Turn off voice chat. It's honestly really easy.<p>I wish servers were dedicated again, so the racists and misogynists can go off into their own communities and not affect regular every-day people who just want to play a game. But of course Activision has to host the servers themselves for... some... reason?
