The latest iteration of the longstanding Runescape (also known as “Runescape 3” and is utterly despised by purists) has followed suit with other corrupt games as the developer has purged things deemed offensive by a minuscule portion of the populace, this time with Jagex purging the word “gypsy” while also altering names and titles.
A new update to the MMORPG came out on February 24th and its patch notes indicated that some things in the game were changed for the sake of protecting people’s precious feelings:
The word ‘Gypsy’ has been removed from Aris’ name and examine text as this word could be interpreted as a racial slur.
Various NPCs in Karamja have been given more appropriate titles.
Various NPCs in the Kharidian Desert have had their name changed from ‘Ali’ to better reflect the diverse variety of names we see in real life.
Some dialogue in the Kindred Spirits quest has been altered to remove unintended offense.
Those criticizing the absurd changes on the Runescape sub-reddit had their comments deleted.
The game was already immensely hated by old school fans as it is a far cry from the original two titles, designed to be similar to more traditional MMORPGs rather than focusing solely on time-consuming grinding.
Such censorship and political bias might not be particularly surprising as Jagex apparently punishes players for swearing at people despite the existence of a chat filter.
But everyone calls them Gypsys, especially in the UK. They’re annoying bastards as they turn up with their caravans on private land without a care in the world. Hell they parked on school grounds before.
But “Gypsy” is what they literally call themselves. Maybe Jagex wants to explain to the Gypsies that they think their very existence is pRoBlEmAtIc, cuz that’s the message they’re sending. Jagex got woke and realized they hate Gypsies. How tolerant and inclusive.
Do Gypsies even buy video games? I would assume that they steal them like they steal everything else.
They call themselves Romani, not Gypsies. Gypsy is short for Egyptian, which is certainly inaccurate. It’s essentially the same as referring to native Americans as Indians.
Then again, Romanians also call themselves Romani in their own language. Changing Gypsy to Romani is therefore troublesome.
(Ironically, it would be more accurate to call Gypsies Indians instead as they did originate from India.)
The origin being accurate is meaningless, it’s’ what they were called in-game and censorship is inherently immoral, as is everyone in favor of it.
>censorship is inherently immoral
There is no way you could unironically believe this…
You would have to actually be retarded to believe this…
To be real censorship is immoral and down right disgusting along with the very people who support it
If you really believe that censorship is a good thing then let me censor you by:
Cut off your tongue so you can’t say anything that I don’t like.
Cut off all your limps so you can’t type anything that I don’t like.
And smash your brain out so you can’t think of anything that I don’t like.
China sure did good with its information suppression in the early outsets of that Corona virus.
Censorship is great! Right? Right!?
You are aware you have gypsys outside romania right ? born in other countries, and ethnically they are gypsis, nothing wrong with the word, people just being retarded
You are not aware you fail at reading. Romanians and Gypsies are stated as different people, not the same.
> they did originate from India
Does that make them Indo-Aryans?
Black call each other Niggers too, so that is fine as well. Also they don’t really in Europe, as it’s a slur on par with n♥♥♥♥r.
no, they call each other Nigga. slight difference
They just genocided gypsies out of Runescape, how progressive.
never forget that the nazis were socialists.
Liberal historians always try and claim otherwise but just look at the full name of the party.
Exactly.
oy vey muh natsees.
the same way N.Korea is a Democratic Republic, maybe.
In name only…
The obligatory “But it wasn’t real socialism because it didn’t work out in the end !” comment some cuck always throws out.
Oh look, someone ignorant of history in the comments section, how novel.
That’s not what he said you retard, he said that Nazis weren’t conventional socialists. How about you learn some reading comprehension skills that go past the 3rd grade.
Wrong. The National Socialist part of their party was inspired by Marx. You’ve just been brainwashed by lefty historians attempting to rewrite history.
change of name = killing? ok…
In a sense, yes. Just like recent event about how Scandinavia Airlines make videos on Youtube and push the “there’s no real Scandinavian” propaganda and even went as far as telling people that the Viking was ancestors of niggers.
SAS – What is truly Scandinavian?

there goes the bard
What a fucking age we’re in. Full of a bunch of snowflakes censoring anything that might hurt their fragile feefees.
you seem upset
“no u”
Cool argument tranny. You sure showed him.
Ugh… Another game that I’m quitting.
Took you long enough holy s♥♥t.
sure you played this game ok…
What a huge melting snowflake you have to be to quit a game because of something like this like holy s♥♥t, you can’t even see the irony.
You seem butthurt about him quitting this s♥♥t game.
Nah you do you, it’s just hilarious that he is probably screaming about “snowflake sjw’s” while being just like one himself.
If it’s so minor then why bother censor it in the first place, retarded snowflake SJW.
I get where you’re coming from, but how you don’t realize that just taking it up the ass like some flaccid bitch because “lol same thing br0, it’s just a name br0” is also the same sort of cancer you’re trying to point out. Quitting is literally the correct action to take if you don’t approve of their direction.
Keep on eating while they are shitting on your plate, you do you bro 🙂
Jagex died when the Gower brothers sold the company. They are just a Chinese company living off an old name now.
