Moderation Challenges in Digital Gaming Spaces: Prevalence of Offensive Behaviors in Voice Chat

Take This partnered with Modulate, a voice moderation company, to produce what is described as the first known baseline on offensive behaviors in gaming voice chat.

• About one in four players had at least one incidence of offensive voice-chat language over the 30-day period.
• Racial/cultural hate speech made up more than half of all flagged offenses, at 53.35%.
• Perceived adult players were more likely than perceived underage players to have at least one flagged offense.
