EA, the publisher of Apex Legends, has tried to take their awful reputation to new heights as they have decided to temporarily ban some Japanese players for saying “nigero”, despite it being an actual Japanese word and not the racial slur (“nigger”) the publisher wishes it was.
Screenshots were shared online of players being handed bans (a seven day ban in one instance) for saying and/or writing out the harmless “nigero“, which means “run away” in Japanese and would naturally be said rather frequently in an online game:
Further context for one of the “nigero” moments:
Sadly, incidents where people are banned for simply saying words that sound like racial slurs but aren’t actually is not that uncommon, as those saying the word “naga” (a fictional race) have been permanently banned from streaming platform Twitch.
Coming up next, the UN expels Nigeria for choosing a racist country name!
Not just Nigeria, but also the even more offensive Niger.
Don’t forget to permaban Montenegro too!
Also erase a certain color from the spanish language
And don’t forget word “kniga” in russian, which means “book”.
Yet book is rather offensive as well for that implies a straight spine.
That one is the worst of all because it implies body shaming, just think of the poor 70%ers out there who can’t find a groid of their own because they’re 400lbs overweight.
lololololol you made me spit my iced tea!!
You joke now, but it’s only a matter of time. these morons are running out of things to be offended by
Well, I think Nigeria was named by Europeans, so.
(I could be wrong tho)
Pretty much. Nigeria was named after the Niger river, which itself was named by some Italian back in the 1500’s. Of course, the Italian got the word “Niger” from the local Berber peoples word for river, “Ger”, and their name for the Niger river of “Ger-n-ger” – River of Rivers. Meaning the Niger river is effectively named, “Big River”.
Colonizers. Yikes.
Yikes indeed america the worst EVER colony made by europa
We should gather all dictionaries in the world and rip out the pages containing words with N. They are clearly too dangerous to exist. Think of the (american) children!
Amerimuttland can burn into a fiery crater pit for all I care!
You’re ignorant if you think it’s just the U.S.
Jewnited States of Shartpantsia. And KIKESRAEL. Japan is falling because of filthy JEWDEN.
but first chyna
Israel
Your Luoyang wild dad dug your mother’s grave with a shovel，，，
Duly note filthy eurotrash, now get back to your state mandate vaccination line.
We have those in America too dumbass
How is that a bad thing? Are you pro-COVID or something?
Just a seasonal flu
There’s a game called N. Started as a Flash game. It’s pretty good and features a black protagonist.
niggers negros zambos nigrosmonkeys democrarats fucking apes
remove the letter N from the alphabet. It’s too much for them to handle.
They already starting to censoring dictionaries so I won’t be surprised if these mental cases take their retardation to the next level.
the f♥♥k?
Why stop on letter N? Just remove all words, return to body language and illegible grunting.
Sooo…you want everyone to communicate like blacks?
Body language is Able-ist. in fact to ensure perfect equality requires the extermination of all life to prevent anyone from having more than anyone else.
Clown World
nah, Clowns can take a joke
HONK HONK!
JUDA DUO CHI SHI GANGCAN，，，
Well, it’s his fault for playing an EA game. Nigero, Smokey!
Pretty much this.
Now the Japanese will be banned if they use a word that has been in their vocabulary for centuries and has a different meaning.
Do you know what this is? Western neo-imperialism…
Jewish world order.
More like racist cultural appropriation with a heaping dosage of sheer stupidity. The kicker is that, in the letter telling the Japanese player that he’s temp-banned for speaking Japanese, EA used the correct Romaji spelling of the Japanese word used, “Nigero”. There is no way they didn’t know; they were just looking for a reason to be racist against an Asian and attempt to force English usage on foreigners.
No it isn’t, you retarded faggot. Don’t say s♥♥t if you don’t even know Japanese, you fucking retard. There is no such word as “nigerou” in Japanese. Nigero is the proper imperative for run, as tabero is for eat and tomero is for stop.
It’s not ‘nigerou’, it’s nigero/逃げろ. That’s the correct way of spelling the imperative form of 逃げる.
Go back and study harder.
Or what it actually is, pure fucking stupidity.
no just the left being Auntie Racist as usual.
