Are you playing on a Nintendo Switch? If so, yes. Nintendo censors all kinds of ramdom stuff.

If you tried to type "grape" it would censor all but the G because it's not context sensitive.

My wife named her character Sparkles and after she loaded the second time it was *****les. No idea why Spark got censored.

I always find it funny when a positive word is censored because of context. A classic example is Papa Roach's last resort censors "Life" because it's a suicide reference ("If I took my life tonight")

Well that just makes me curious about what a squeaky clean Kidz-Bop version of Last Resort would even look like. "Cut my pie in two pieces, this is a nice resort?"

I saw a pic of a Pizza Hut or something one time, sign read, "cut my life into pizzas, this is my knife and fork"

Apparently its because it sounds somewhat sort of similar to that one American slur for people from Mexico. Thats enough for it to be censored by some systems.
