Why does the word b****r get censored? Is this some sort of British slang that I dont know about? I type "that's a b****r" all the time but it comes out "that's a ******" lol
If this has some sort of horrible second meaning I apologize for saying it but it seems silly and kind of a... well.... unfortunate?

You can't write that in here. Incoming ban.
Wait what? Is that sarcasm? What's wrong with the word b****r? It's as g rated as it gets...
@zalavaaris Yes. It is.
I personally abhor censorship. Funny seeing common words getting bleeped out as some seven year old is screaming all the horrible things he did with your mom as he sinks...
Just ... SMH

Ok thanks haha I for a second thought he wasnt being sarcastic.
@funpolice89 derogatory slang term used decades ago toward h*********s and used to attack someone's masculinity.
I still think censorship of any kind is ridiculous.
Try this for fun. Use the chat wheel to say "I'm on the Ferry of the Damned!" then try to type the word "damn" or "damned". It's unintended hilarity at it's finest.

In the UK, b****r has two meanings that immediately spring to my mind:
b****r = downer: "Oh man, sorry to hear that, that's a b****r".
A derogatory slang for h********l.
@themuckypaw C****r is a racial slur. Although a pretty uncommon one. Seems Rare used a hyper sensitive censor program
I know this game should be a family friendly game. I'm not complaining and it doesn't bugs me at all, i'm just making a joke about it. Sometimes while playing this game or reading the forums i feel like i'm inside a daycare center. There is pillows at every wall and babysitters at every corner, we should also distribute headgear and mouthpieces to everyone. The funny thing is the contrast from the in game environment which most of the time feels agressive and merciless. Just don't bash me so hard, it's just a joke xD.

It’s utterly ironic, one of my q***r crew members expressed their disdain at the fact that “h********l” is censored since it’s a sexuality not a derogatory term. I suppose if Rare is that conservative by choice, then it is their prerogative.
Wow man, that's really bad.
At least we can work around this by just spacing the letters, so we can say really bad, unbarable words like:
A S S
Wow ! I thought it had something to do with slang. But that it was used to insult h*********s.
Well thx for the explanation.

Wait wait wait.... the term "h********l" is censored? A scientific word? As non-derogetory as they come?

Quick! Someone check to see if the word "evolution" has also been censored LOL
