Not sure if this is the right place, but I've seen this for the 3rd removed now.

Literally couldn't use the word in the title ... got a red pop-up that said "slur".

It's the 3rd word (singular) in the famous newspaper from New York ....

UPDATE: seems to be an issue with ani.social, thanks for all the feedback!

Reminds me of when Minecraft Bedrock censored the word "flèche" from me, the French word for "arrow", literally an item in the game x)

Certain Pokémon games have filters preventing you from online trading Pokémon which have nicknames that include bad words. However, some Pokémon such as Cofagrigus have bad words in their names by default so you have to nickname those in order to trade them.

elder scroll online censored the word sperm, but "whisper" was how they called the private chat, so you'd see lot of people on the global chat writing "whisper me" which was shown as "whi*** *e"
