RIOT and LoL is one of the worst I’ve seen for this, which is ironically probably contributing to the problem as it chases decent people away while toxic PoS feel right at home since it’s tailored for them specifically. You can get an excessively toxic player on your team who is actively working as hard as he can to make you lose, but he knows how to game the system and avoid their filters, but if you tell him to fuck off now you’re stuck in their secret “toxic queue” and you just get worse and worse players on your team.
Reminds me of the “Island Sanctuary” feature added to Final Fantasy XIV, where you were promised your very own tropical paradise to visit and decorate. Ended up being little else to do there other than build and manage factories.
The thing is that words can have a very broad range of meaning depending on who uses them and how (among many other factors), but you can’t accurately code all of that into a form that computers can understand. Even ignoring bad actors it makes certain things very difficult, like if you ever want to search for something that just happens to share words with something completely different which is very popular.
Reproduction isn’t a luxury item. It’s a survival need. The only reason that it’s viewed as such in western society is because our economic system is all kinds of screwed up. People have been brainwashed to consider survival, as a society, in terms of our economic systems rather than in terms of the actual people.
