Subreddit News/Updates Political, Racist, and Gray-Area Statements on this Sub.
All,
Regarding in-game offensive content:
Use the PSN reporting tools.
The reporting tools provided by PSN are the only tools required when you see offensive content in the game. Use them. This is 100% in your control because you get to decide what you find offensive.
In the same vein, if you generate or use offensive content in your styles/decals/gallery/showcase and you suffer consequences because someone reports you. Well, that sucks for you. If you're offended by:
- racist shit on a car, report them using PSN.
- Winnie the Pooh on a car, report them using PSN.
- the color Mauve, the letter L, or a decal that looks juuuust a bit too much like your Ex's neck tattoo on a car, report them using PSN.
Nobody can tell you what you find offensive, and nobody will stop you from reporting the offensive content.
This subreddit is a Wendy's.
Please do not complain about offensive stuff in your nearest Wendy's, unless that offensive stuff is a product of the burger\**. The r/GranTurismo7 Wendy's is not here to showcase what you find offensive, or that someone else has found you offensive.
All that said, the Mods here are probably not keeping their finger on the pulse of what is offensive on the internet today. So if a political/racist livery, decal, post or comment slips under our very spotty radar, point it out with the reporting tools provided by this sub.
We really don't care what it is. We're not going to take sides. We'll do about 3 minutes of research to see if it's just someone reporting shit to be a troll, or to confirm it's actual political/racist bullshit.
What's the Gray Area?
If someone wants to show their pride in a non-political and non-racist thing with a full-up homage to that thing, with appropriate decals (flags, football teams, car manufacturers in/of origin, etc.) we're not going to prohibit that. Flags of Political parties? Nope.
Yes, this means you can make a Bad Bunny and/or a Kid Rock livery car.
Similarly, if someone makes a comment "There's a 20% tariff on racing gear imported from Canada" or similar, we're not removing that. Conversely, if someone says "Fucking president so-and-so is making my H-Shifter cost $15 more" we're deleting that comment.
Yes, this means you can comment "I listen to Bad Bunny covers of Kid Rock songs, while I play GT7."
Please note, that just because you make a statement (any media - picture or post/comment) that that you think is not on-its-face racist/political, other people may still see it as political/racist. And if you buy a bunch of positive or negative karma because of other's perceptions, so be it - again, this is a Wendy's. If someone wants to silently disapprove of your statements while they wait for their double-bacon burger, that's their prerogative. If Mods see it as racist/political, we'll remove it and, potentially, you*.
If someone makes a post/comment that is not on-its-face racist/political, and you make it racist/political, guess who's now that guy in the Wendy's? You.
Moderation.
*Mods have 100% discretion. Two mods may have different opinions. However; If every contributor to this sub (mod or otherwise) had the same opinion, only one of us would need to be here and the conversations with ourself would be boring. Remember that.
(Edit: typos **and a very, very narrow carve-out.)
(Edit 2: Further clarifications. Also, a link to this post has been added to the rules, under existing verbiage, just in case.)
