There's one guy, Bobbybroccoli, who does a great job adapting Bois' graphs to tell stories about science, engineering, academia, and where it all intersects with politics. He's currently in a trilogy of video essays on the now-abandoned supercollider they were building in Waxahachie or thereabouts, and did a trilogy on that one guy who faked all his research on like organic transistors or something like that.

"towering elevation of unsaturated blubber" would be a great user name but it's way too long.

I remember a music forum with a naughty language filter that turned "bluegrass" into "bluegrbutt." vvv Dark Souls 2 had a word filter on names that censored "knight" into "k***ht." It was like that Photoshop thread where people turn innocuous pictures dirty by adding blur. Blue Footed Booby has a new favorite as of 13:15 on May 12, 2022 |

My classic censor filter example is from Gunbound, where one of the guys I used to play with had the nick Spicule (from a Star Ocean boss) and we couldn't say his name because the censor filter included "spic". Which is technically fair, but you'd think it would have stopped him from actually registering with that name too. But the real punchline is that we found that the very same censor filter did, at the time, not ban the c-word, so that of course became the go-to curse word. Eventually it was added though. Lately I've also noticed the somewhat overzealous filter in Mega Man X Dive, which has the added bonus of that it doesn't just *** out the perceived cuss, or block the message altogether. Instead it ***'s out the cuss, and removes all spaces, and makes every letter lowercase. I managed to hit the filter with "okay idk" because it apparently triggered on "yid".

My favorite has always been when Reuters had a policy of replacing "the Queen" with the more formal "Queen Elizabeth". And so in an article about honeybees, it reported that Queen Elizabeth lays up to 2000 eggs per day.

I remember some game where I couldn't ask another player to heal me, because the word filter blocked "heil". Word filters, whether implemented by Chinese state actors or Anglo monoglots, are loving stupid. It's incredible to me that Anglos must have everything censored, usually in lieu of having any moderation whatsoever. Holocaust denial is fine, but how dare you say a bad word… I'm not a fan, is what I'm trying to say.
