@Zerglingman @Godcast @LukeAlmighty I still think back to when R6S banned everyone for using the word negro. One tiny problem with that, the Spanish language exists and negro is a completely innocent word — it just means black for masculine singular nouns. There's an item in the game that uses that word, several even.

I was weebing out in a livestream chat and we got to talking about Macross. So I dropped the lyrics of one of the Sheryl Nome songs where sings..."私の唄を聴け" or "Listen to my song" But I can't actually read or write kanji so I typed in romaji... "Atashi no uta wo kike" and I got muted because apparently the last word is a slur for jews.
