And that is worldwide? while I agree with ACAB, not all B are equally bad (or trigger happy, to be more precise).
EDIT: Because I don't want any confusion, I'm not condoning police brutality, racism, or making whataboutism. Simply questioning if it has been tested worldwide or the ban affects just the US.

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and just imagine they don't want an acronym with the word "bastard" in it, it's not a very family friendly word.
But people still have a right to be upset over it of course.
I can vaguely vagggggguely understand this one as it contains 'bastards' and nintendo are hyper kid friendly. If they ban BLM ill sell my switch though.

Agreed. Even if their justification was the "bastard" part of the acronym, it's not like the actual word is being spelled out.
Why ACAB, Nintendo?
Because the B stands for Bastards or do you actually believe "not all cops are bad apples"?

I'm guessing this is the reason as well, but no matter how you look at it, it's still not a good look.
ACAB can easily be "All Cops Are Bad", but then again I guess that's like someone saying "O.P.P." stands for "Other People's Property"

stupid shit
Why is a virus a negative? We are going to ban anything else related to disease?
Also, ACAB. Fuck off Nintendo.

Are you asking for permission to believe that? If that's what you want to believe, go for it. But I believe that no-one should be looking at Nintendo's username system on the Switch as a political statement.
I wish Activision would too. So many people in COD are now called COVID-19, it's so boring.
This is some wild shit. Banned the word coronavirus? What is Nintendo's model, whistle the day away like some kind of Twilight Zone episode?
All Cops Are Bad
I never used it with bastard, especially considering how many women are cops. Either way this is stupid and Nintendo looks bad here IMO.

I'm thinking to prevent it being for trolling purposes. Not sure why else you'd do it, but people do like to make tasteless jokes about AIDS and cancer and the like.
Ah, I see. It's besides the point - but that's still a bummer. Wii U and 3DS were so much more advanced than this. Such a shame.

Funny enough, Byte & Barq are the bottom of the barrel in popularity (Min Min is #1, Twintelle & Ninjara are #2 depending on the region) & competitive viability (Dr. Coyle is top-tier, with Min Min & Twintelle right below her).
The pedophile targeting stuff that happened in Japan really spooked Nintendo. But instead of focusing on parental controls, they basically neutered their online messaging and went with an awkward Smartphone app approach. Kinda nuts how Miiverse was so much more advanced than anyone on the Switch, which has no semblance of community at all.

Should they ban games with Bastard in the title?

I think it's because parents largely don't use parental controls anyway
The most charitable reading I suppose, games like these are locked out from view with Parental Controls active (this game has an Age Restriction), but usernames can still appear in E10+ rated games like Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey.🤔Void Bastards for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site
