My Xbox One is Suggesting That I Become a Nazi!
- Thread starter Jeremy
- Start date
I don't think it's the amount of responses as much as it is those who would threaten to throw their Xbox in the garbage if they got something like this. That seems a bit excessive, even if the message is offensive to you. Hell, we've had questionable content come through the ads here as well sometimes... it happens.
FOR SCIENCE I decided to go check PSN communities
At least in positive news the Gay Furry communities are here too
That escalated quickly *request to join*
Nazi isn't blocked on a word filter, but the groups with Nazi in the title are "COD Nazi" related.
What game recommended it to you? I think that is the actual point.FOR SCIENCE I decided to go check PSN communities

9 memebers and manageded to be recommend? How does that even make sense?
Thats my point. If your interested you can make these groups and look for them. They will always exist. Now if they are being recommended to you...well maybe something should be given a second look.
It's cool, PSN has a report function too
I could request membership and see if we could be friends.... Hmmm.
Your call, says more about you than me.It's cool, PSN has a report function too
I could request membership and see if we could be friends.... Hmmm.
You got me, that is actually my PSN ID, I just want people to add me as a friend.
Cmon RedFury this is the internet, do you actually think I'm going to request membership to some sad idiots PSN group? I just went on PSN communities to see if some of the stupid shit that is in the OP is on PSN too. There isn't much, but a few communities to question.
Title itself doesn't have anything wrong with it that would catch a bot. The image is so small that the swastika wasn't caught either I imagine. I'm sure some reports and if you really want an Xbox support chat will fix it tho.
Why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends....It's cool, PSN has a report function too

Like I stated they will always exist in some form or fashion.
Cmon on Audioboxer you dont see how a group like this being recommended for playing a Disney game a bit problematic?
Yeah, I accepted that from the start. The only counter-argument I've made so far in this topic is exactly what you said in your first line. Unfortunately, some of this shit will slip through. Sony doesn't even blacklist the word "Nazi". Search it on PSN. It's all related to COD Zombie Nazis, but you can bet some idiots have created Nazi PSN communties and had them reported/banned. Especially if the word isn't blacklisted.
Unlike XBL PSN probably can't handle recommendations lol. All jokes aside, as a poster above pointed out on XBL you can turn off group recommendations. I've been invited to some random ass PSN groups, but that is obviously users/spam bots on PSN spamming.
The fact that Nazi's helped create some things at Disneyland (this is true. Look up the rocket and some of the murals) makes this extremely ironic haha
You can keep going on PSN. Penis didn't bring up anything, but Trump managed to bring up Trump's mums... dick? As well as a load of shitty Trump groups
And then we can see how Sony clearly doesn't like those remoaners or libtards
2 members for the Brexit boys? How sad.
Point being, while Nazi symbology has all of this beat, offensive or unwanted shit makes it through filters and attempts to "police" user-generated content.
For "fun" anyone can go to PSN communities and stick words in and see what they can find.

Dick, the AI bots hate it. Why does it have to be another name for Richard... and also a penis.
OP - I would seriously try to get some game news media attention for this - Kotaku or something - because I think it's necessary for MS to address this publicly with an apology and assurance that they'll fix this and do better. You won't get their attention through normal means, so it's necessary to publicize this.
Edit - Jason Schreier where you at?

Damn, looks like the dick rabbithole on PSN goes quite far
That looks like... a dolphin dildo?
Dick picks only? Hmmm. That seems like another community to join.
I didn't know Sony was running an underground adult network. No need for this Tinder account anymore.

Some people can't go by an electric fence without wanting to piss on it. The question is, do they get up in the morning pound fist into palm and go "Today is the day I split hairs over naziism in the current world climate; that'll endear people to my intellectual rigor."
But you could join the alt-right, praise the church of Kek and be home in time to sign up for Gamergate?
I might have known the alt-right would like Mass Effect Andromeda.
Not only do the statements about Disney attending Nazi meetings have no evidence whatsoever, the entire "essay" is so extreme and far-fetched that it's absurd and insane that someone even wrote that. Calling Pinocchio a representation of Disney's fascist ideas is incredibly bizarre. While Disney did seem to harbor some dislike for Jews, calling his work and the work of others at his studio representations of Nazism is disrespectful and idiotic. Please don't tell me that you believe that.
Jump Cut is an ISO 4 listed and authorized journal and is quoted in many external thesis and articles, so there should be some validation of their articles. That being said, they describe themselves as leftist, feminist, and anti-imperialist, so there might be a lot of bias AND I do agree that the article seems too extreme. I don't believe that what the article describes is true, but a number of publications have, over the years, stated similar things, which doesn't mean it's true, but it's certainly interesting even if they're all just pushing a anti-capitalist agenda. They do say that fascism was pushed by Walt Disney himself but never by the company as a whole, and especially not these days.
They aren't allowed to exist; it's a user generated content system serving 10's of millions of people. If automatic algorithms don't block your content then you are "caught" by either people reporting or admins stumbling upon your content.
I really have trouble believing people are speaking "in good faith" in this thread. It's like people are pretending they are new to the internet.
Ya, like this shit doesn't exist on PSN. PSN truly is a kid-friendly environment.
The whole Xbox One dashboard is a mess. And this algorithm doesn't even understand that the OP is a male. So why should he join a women's club? Even if he was a Nazi that would not make sense.
How would it know? It would need to know the group being promoted has a gender-specific angle, and I don't think there's that kind of granularity in creating these.
Your guess is as good as mine. Pot calling the kettle black. Bias is pretty clear here with terrible arguments being made too.
Having said that, everything that could be done has been done. Report and hope recommendations get a second look or some form of [better] curation. Especially those targeted to children.
You never know, when some guys are desperate, seeing "women's" in the title might get them excited.
What they expect
vs
What they get
I joined the Waifu Club, it was perfect for me
I'm just surprised the group is still up.
How has no major outlet picked this up yet? Kotaku practically lives off of turning Era threads into news items, and yet this isn't on there?
