Red Dead Redemption 2
In response to the horrific human behavior that Rockstar Games ' online components have a room of bringing out , theRed DeadOnlinedeveloper is now crack down on mean hackers that were spawning KKK members to deflower other player ' multiplayer experience . Typically , Rockstar may not doing much to actually punish those edgy individuals for abusing the game ’s code ( nor has it probably taken action mechanism against those players for their rearing in - game hate lecture and harassment ) , but something is for certain adept than nothing .
While Rockstar ’s sandboxes ofRed Dead Redemption 2andGrand Theft AutoVhave high-pitched extolment heaped upon them for their willingness to dig into the furthest cinematic and thematic reaches of the play sensitive , their online components are infamous havens for unsupervised minor , hackers , and embitter players that spout hate speech like it ’s snuff it out of way . Sometimes those unsavoury demographic intersect to varying stage , resulting in the kind ofRed beat Onlinemoments in which very basic cheats are used to to spawn the movement ’s tiki torch - conduct , bedsheet - cladKKK extremity NPCsinto the game , who are sicced on players as a tasteless and insensitive form of griefing .

As confirmed byPolygon , Rockstar has put an end to slicker ' ability to breed this specially lodge NPC intoRed Dead Online . The issue became more wide known afterRed Dead Online Communitytweeted at Rockstar on June 13 , include images of drudge ' in - secret plan antiblack demeanor , which included ( but certainly was n’t limited to ) having KKK NPCs hunt down players in horde and step the " ' Rockstar Message ' text edition " function to partake in server - wide hate manner of speaking .

The independent story ofRed Dead Redemption 2 , where the slimy klansmen make their digital rest home , is one that grasps and strives to recreate thedepressing accuracies of American frontier lifehistory . Clearly , the sadRed Dead Onlinehackers who ladder around cry out slurs and crudely weaponizing the KKK as a joke clearly did n’t play through the campaign or merely failed or refused to comprehend it . Rockstar ’s controversial decision to include secret KKK group meeting that admirer Arthur Morgan can stumble upon can be summarized in tone and intention by the fact thatkilling those particular Nonproliferation Center lift Morgan ’s Honorregardless of pretension or context .
No matter how many gruesome nonparallel killer , twisted sideshow execration , or racial extremist terrorist groups Rockstar puts into their single - player campaigns , their bitchiness will never quite broach the level of laugh - inducing toxicity that a lilliputian minority of players prompt only by hate and jaundice consistently get to its multiplayer mode . If Rockstar ever chooses to give its players well than the cesspits of negativity that can be found inGTAOnlineandRed Dead Onlinein future online components , the studio would do well to start by reign in deceiver and hackersbeforethey pull out abhorrent shit like this .
