      The word or string “ass” may be replaced by “butt”, resulting in “clbuttic” for “classic”, “clbuttroom” for “classroom”, “buttignment” for “assignment”, and “buttbuttinate” for “assassinate”.

      This is seriously one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. Like gosh, I’d recommend everyone give that article a full read. I couldn’t even get mad at the stupidity. I’m bookmarking this to read again when I have a bad day.

      I see this all the time in Elden Ring. So many players want the word “Knight” in their name but it just ends up rendering as “K***ht”. Also the substring “ho” comes up a lot and is censored.

        I mean if using UTF-8 a single “character” can be twice the size of that. Depending on what counts as a character it can be even bigger. There’s no way this wouldn’t go **rribly wrong.

        Two or three services blacklisted something in my username, Lyra Lycan. To this day I never found out what, why or which language

          Took me a very long time to understand why my go to, Scooter, was being blocked… extra harsh filter catching “cooter” was the culprit. Only discovered because something just * the string so my name was S******

    This reminds me of the recent removal of the Enola Gay in US government history archives because LGBT+ is DEI.

    Forgetting that gay not only has multiple meanings, but only predominately referred to homosexuality in the 1980s.

    I remember looking it up as a kid. 1970s era dictionaries did not include the present definition.

    Fun fact, Google, Google Maps and Wikipedia all existed in 2010. All they had to do was spend an entire 10 seconds, less than the time it took to suspend the account, to find out it was a genuine location.
