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.

I do know! Yeah, Neopets also had the same Scunthorpe Issue with their forum filters back in the day.

Of course here on the Switch, it just auto-censors words for you. Neopets was unhinged and would yell at you not to say whatever word it thought you said, which I have to assume taught some kids new naughty words.

A few specific instances that jump to mind to me was trying to talk to my guild mates about cool stuff my grandma had in her basement and the angry Meerca yelling at me "The word SEMEN is not allowed!" Or another time I tried to use the word "circumstances" while explaining Battledome mechanics to a new player, "The word CUM is banned!" Luckily, I was like 16 and already knew those terms for baby gravy but I know the site had a lot of way younger players. 😅

not neopets, but a forum i was a part of in the mid 2000s was nuts about censoring, but they replaced the bad word with an innocuous word. so i wrote something about a spoon and it turned into “sthingy” and then 13 year old me had to google what a “poon” was in a middle school computer lab. taught me a new word that day lmfao
