  The word or string “ass” may be replaced by “butt”, resulting in “clbuttic” for “classic”, “clbuttroom” for “classroom”, “buttignment” for “assignment”, and “buttbuttinate” for “assassinate”.

  This is seriously one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. Like gosh, I’d recommend everyone give that article a full read. I couldn’t even get mad at the stupidity. I’m bookmarking this to read again when I have a bad day.

      Not gonna lie, Pete Buttigieg does sound like a stereotypical gay character in an 80s sitcom.

    Buttbuttinate sounds like one of those stupid censored words like unalive, grape…

    Can also do this with random buzzwords, like the “cloud to butt” extension, or force to horse

  I see this all the time in Elden Ring. So many players want the word “Knight” in their name but it just ends up rendering as “K***ht”. Also the substring “ho” comes up a lot and is censored.

    Two or three services blacklisted something in my username, Lyra Lycan. To this day I never found out what, why or which language

      Took me a very long time to understand why my go to, Scooter, was being blocked… extra harsh filter catching “cooter” was the culprit. Only discovered because something just * the string so my name was S******

    I mean if using UTF-8 a single “character” can be twice the size of that. Depending on what counts as a character it can be even bigger. There’s no way this wouldn’t go **rribly wrong.

  In October 2004, it was reported that the Horniman Museum in London was failing to receive some of its email because filters mistakenly treated its name as a version of the words horny man.

  There are a lot of gems in the article.

  One of legit uses of AI is moderation that goes beyond string pattern matching.
