EA DICE has managed to implement a broken chat filter into Battlefield V: while it was designed to censor profanity and other types of “toxic” language, beta testers have caught it omitting not only innocent words, but gibberish as well. These include the phrase “DLC,” along with “ combinations of letters that often don’t even form real words.” Angry Joe discovered it even censored the phrase “white man.”
“One of the new features we’re working on is a profanity filter in-game to reduce toxicity,” he said about the open beta. “That being said, we have heard some complaints that the filter is blocking words that aren’t profanity or shouldn’t be blocked, like ‘DLC,’ etc. and isn't blocking some words that should be (obviously, I will not be providing examples of these).” Braddock went on to say that EA DIC is going to continue working on the work-in-progress feature and that their goal isn’t to limit conversations by censoring out words like “DLC.”
