In World of Warcraft, the Dutch word kunt gets censored because it is a variation of an English curseword. While in Dutch its a very basic word ('can' as in 'you can').

Customer Service rep. was aware of the issue but could not do anything about it.

They are going to use AI in the game more for such moderation, so I hold my breath.

Also, not sure what Spanish implies but Portuguese usually means Brazilian Portuguese. Dutch usually means Dutch, not Flemish, unless its a Belgian production.

In the chat or in-game storry telling and such?

Isn't 'cunt' also used much more casually in the UK and Australia?

Cursewords and women's nipples... has their devilish impact on society ever been proven or rather is there even any evidence whatsoever? Why do we accept this idiotic censorship again?
