Nerds get triggered when Blizzard adds a joke text filter.

A content patch for popular first-person shooter game Overwatch includes a new text filter, changing the phrase "gg ez" into one of many other humorous phrases. You can see them HERE.

The feedback is mostly positive, but naturally there are some who oppose the new addition. Some compare the inability to type "gg ez" to censorship. Others feel that the filter panders to people who are "triggered", and that trash talk is just a part of gaming. Have the SJWs won again?
