Nintendo has always sought to be seen as a company suitable for the whole family, taking care to offer an environment in which all players can have fun safely.
To achieve this, it is not only enough to take care of the content included in each of its video games, but also the language used by its users, mainly during multiplayer sessions. This is very important, cause as everyone who has played online, sometimes the competition can get too intense and bring out the worst in some people in the form of insults.
In that sense, and according to Wccftech, with the release of update 14.1.2 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo has decided to ban a few more "bad words", which can no longer be used in usernames or any action involving text.
All these words are those that represent some type of racial insult, sexual references, or that are related to some terrorist organization or act.
[Nintendo Switch Firmware Update]

Nintendo has released a “rebootless” update for 14.1.2.
The only changes are to the bad words list. A large amount of swears, racial slurs, words of a sexual nature, references to terrorist organizations, and more were added to all languages.
As with every official update by Nintendo, it will appear available once we connect our Nintendo Switch to the internet. You just have to download it, and that´s it: you'll have a less toxic environment on the hybrid console.
What are your thoughts on this? Are you ok with Nintendo banning more "bad words"? Let us know in the comment section!
