because the devs just ran their censored words list through google translate instead of paying someone to do proper localization.
Try fingers, but hole
Recent changes in GTA Online moderation now censor words like "meth" and "cocaine" in chat...
...in a game where large portions of the gameplay are focused around selling meth and cocaine.
Is that game even any fun anymore? I stopped playing after the first year or so.
I said "finish it" in Genshin chat and it censored it as "Fini** **"
Haha you play Genshin
Chat censoring should be mostly on the user side with user controlled blacklists and whitelists, with moderator involvement mostly for circumventing the filters.
Don't want to see "penis"? Put it on your own blacklist.
But then you have to see penis while writing penis on the blacklist!
But I do wholeheartedly agree. Censorship should be opt-in, and no one should be bowing to government censorship.
Ive been downvoted to hell and back for saying that on FFXIVs reddit back in the day
They provide a literal toggle for you to bleep swear words out, yet you can get in trouble for using "fuck" in a way someone can perceive as insulting (which in some cases means using it at all)
It should be fucking illegal to penalize someone by restricting access to paid content like a video game because someone else refused to use features built into that game
Harassment and bypass? Fair game to get someone in trouble, though
Genshin has China-level censoring, with some really bizarre words like 'tank' being filtered.
I wonder why
Hong Kong was also censored, haven't checked recently tho as it could have been changed.
Taiwan also censored
Fuck China
Great cropping job
but thats a part of the joke
animal crossing on ds censored town board messages client side so if you edited the word list in the rom to be blank you could use a flash cart, join someone else's town, put whatever profanity you wanted, and they would see it in their town but wouldnt be able to swear in their own game or anyone else's.
