Apex Legends players baffled as club named after Indonesian rice gets banned Respawn Entertainment \/ @makanmalaysiaukAn Apex Legends club was absolutely baffled after EA hit them with an \u2018inappropriate content\u2019 warning for their club\u2019s name, despite it meaning\u2026 \u201crice stall\u201d in Indonesian. Clubs are pretty useful in Apex Legends, allowing friends and strangers alike to group up under a common banner in Respawn Entertainment\u2019s battle royale. But the name of your club is a difficult decision, like a logo you\u2019re willing to slap across your jersey. Well, just as the Washington Football Team have \u2014 until further notice \u2014 decided to represent the sport of football in their branding, an Apex Legends club decided to rep their preferred Indonesian meal. Unfortunately, EA don\u2019t appear happy with the name, sending out a formal warning to members of the \u201cWarteg Nasi\u201d club. One such member (whose Reddit name is fittingly also food-related), \u2018CrispySalty,\u2019 took to the internet to complain. The club\u2019s name, \u201cWarteg Nasi,\u201d roughly translates to \u201crice stall,\u201d with a warteg being the shorthand version of \u201cwarung tegal\u201d (essentially a food stand) and nasi being rice (which foodies might recognize from \u201cnasi goreng,\u201d Indonesian fried rice). And, according to EA, the name \u201cis in violation for being offensive, obscene, hateful, or inappropriate.\u201d This obviously doesn\u2019t make sense given rice\u2019s history as a harmless food, but people in the comments have jumped to certain conclusions. Most seem to believe that either \u201cwar\u201d or \u201cnasi\u201d were flagged. Given how racist players can get in anonymous online communities, it\u2019s likely a good thing that EA are being proactive about targeting workarounds. But it\u2019s still unfortunate for CrispySalty and the rice stall gang, who now need to find another way to represent their tastes. For now, EA haven\u2019t laid out any significant player bans \u2014 simply disallowing the club\u2019s name. So CrispySalty has turned to a new, less gourmet club name: Team Octane 101281.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
