Blizzard once again bans Overwatch 2 'sexual harassment simulator,' but not before it reappeared in the popular list.
A user-created Overwatch 2 mode that simulates sexual assault reappeared in the game's custom game browser, and for some, showed up as one of the most popular modes.
The description attributes the mode to the same creator as the original mode,"Amatsuhikone on YouTube." I had previously found a YouTube channel with that name last year—with a few Overwatch-related videos on it—but it looks to be gone now. Anyone with the unique code can create a lobby for the mode. You can search for it in the custom game browser using words like"simulator," but it's not always available, nor is it always under the same title.
It doesn't appear that Blizzard's moderation tools automatically filter out those words from the title or description. You can report modes from their information pages for"abusive custom game text," but Blizzard doesn't let you type in an explanation like you can when reporting players.
