That’s shitty. It effectively removes the ability to communicate in anything but English.
E.g. some frequently used words that are non-slurs: removed (nordics, meaning class/course), removed (french train stations will display this when trains are delayed). Living in Norway, I have frequently been frustrated when MMOs wouldn’t let me talk to friends in my native language without censoring or even handing out bans.
The Spanish name Enrique can be diminutised to “removed” (key-kay) but PlayStation network banned accounts with that name as the word in English is slur against Jews.

why not use
Qiqeas a workaround?That’s something I’ve always wondered myself - I’m not sure why the spelling mutated, but then I’m not a native speaker.
Exactly, I’ve even tested with setting my comment to French, exclusively speaking French within, and it’s still filtered.
And that pissed off a couple people who just couldn’t believe my motivation was anything other than desire to say slurs.
