EA Account Banned for Saying STFU

Text on the meme

Terms of Service Hi, It looks like your EA Account broke the rules in our Positive Play Charter. YOUR EA ACCOUNT IS BANNED. HERE'S WHY: While reviewing your account, we saw: Apex Legends THEVAN3D:stfu We consider this to be Harassment. YOU CAN NO LONGER PLAY EA GAMES ON THIS ACCOUNT. WE HAVE REMOVED YOUR PAYMENT DETAILS FROM OUR SYSTEM SO YOU WON'T GET ANY MORE CHARGES FROM US.

What it means

A screenshot of an EA Terms of Service notice says an account was banned after the account name or message “THEVAN3D:stfu” was treated as harassment in Apex Legends. The punchline is the absurdly severe punishment for saying “stfu,” made funnier by EA reassuring the user that their payment details were removed and they will not be charged again. It is used as a reaction to toxic gaming, unexpected bans, or companies responding dramatically to minor behavior.
