So I've been watching the Home disaster unfold for a bout a month now. One of the things that blows my mind is that Sony is trying to make a social atmosphere, and then truncates the English language to make it "kid friendly"... The language censor has no concept of context and will blindly kill words that under normal circumstances have no "bad" connotation in the first place. Let me give you a non-exhaustive list of what this things eats.

Immature words like "pee" "poo" and "fart" are off the list. Of course you got your "heavy hitters" that don't show up.
What I find so strange was if you were to make a social networking system, and then actively censor what you can say, how can that even serveas a basis for socializing?
Can anyone come up with another system like this that's just as bad? Or did Sony enter into a whole new level of inep***ude here?

I have no words to describe that. Also, you can't put "Bungie" anywhere in the filename or description.
However, you can get any censored word, including the 'big' ones past the filter if you take a screenshot in a game. Once you take a screenshot and name/describe it, it immediately uploads to bungie.net. However, if you then exit out and attempt to upload the same screenshot to your file share, the filter will catch it.
It will also detect the word 'ass' in "Assault", so it will also censor it's own gametype names in Xbox Live lobbies. Did I mention it just doesn't censor the word, it replaces the entire thing with just one word, "Blam!"?
They just didn't want anyone to use the phrase, "Massive hard-on"
I haven't had the opportunity to witness this alleged debacle.
Or Jesus.
Sony is so goddamned retarded and shit like this is why they deserve their financial trouble. How more out of touch could they be?
What are you some sort of Mexican Jew Lizard.
Overreact much? I don't know why, but censorship like this seems like a staple from asian games I've played, although why it shows up in Home I don't know. It's possible Sony is gunshy after their lyrical mistake with LBP.
**** *** * ***** *******. ******* ***!
Don't get cheeky with me.
I'll get out my belt.
beat me to it.
Now I don't want any pizza.

When it comes to vulgarity the young boy mind knows no limits.

I want to know what kind of word that last one is to be that long.

I'm going to start calling people "froods" until they feel insulted. You hear that, froods?

Spoony is a real word though.
Yes, but the stupid turlingdomes I'm referring to don't know that, the froods.

Any words that can express my love have been censored.
**** *** *******, ** ***********.
That video gets amazingly awesome between 1:05 and 1:30. First time I heard that verse I just couldn't stop laughing.
Anyhow, on topic, have they returned the ability to use voice chat yet? Last I heard they removed it. With this entirely broken censoring system they have there is really no other way to communicate unless everyone on there are star people and speak through stars.
Seriously though, Jew is censored? That seems wrong in so many ways.
Fork you, Dehumanized.
I was just getting sleepy which is awesome because I should already be sleeping.
Now I'm wide awake and laughing so hard that my stomach hurts.
