Why Did Marvel Rivals Ban Winnie the Pooh From Game Chat?

Marvel Rivals, like any online hero shooter, has a few ways to communicate with other players in-game. When a team’s success depends on six random people being paired up together, they need ways to talk to one another, or they’re as good as dead. Marvel Rivals has an elaborate ping system to signal enemy locations when a player needs help or healing, and when a player has their potentially game-changing ultimate ability. Marvel Rivals also has in-game text chat and voice chat, giving players even more control over how they want to talk to their teammates.While these tools are important for any multiplayer game, having access to text and voice chats is almost always a breeding ground for toxicity. Many players use the in-game chats to yell at their fellow players for grievances like not healing enough or getting enough eliminations. Some players have made note of certain words being banned in the in-game text chat. Many of these words make sense, as they are offensive and can fester even more hate among players, but other censored words have players scratching their heads. One such phrase is “Winnie the Pooh,” Disney’s lovable, honey-eating yellow bear.Other instances may seem a little more ridiculous. Sometimes, games will censor words associated with their competitors. Take Wuthering Waves, for example. Wuthering Waves (2024) is a free-to-play open-world action RPG and a gacha game similar to the incredibly popular Genshin Impact (2020). While both games are similar in formula, they are very different games. In an attempt to keep players from fighting about which game is “better,” Wuthering Waves has banned certain words associated with Genshin Impact.
