Online gaming is plagued by significant bullying and harassment, creating a toxic environment that negatively impacts players' experiences and mental health. The anonymity provided by online platforms often emboldens bullies, making it challenging to hold them accountable.

To promote accountability and respectful communication, this project links a player's online persona to their phone's autocorrect.

By integrating gaming language into everyday texts sent to family, friends, and colleagues, players are encouraged to self-reflect and reconsider their words. This innovative approach aims to reduce abusive behavior and foster a more positive online gaming community.
