I hate when games have no option to turn word filter off. Souls games are infamous of the word Knight getting censored, the word filter is so bad most people invading are just asteriks

Reminds me of a Udemy Unreal Engine course where the instructor would pronounce APawn* as "APawn star", which Udemy's subtitle generator would suitably render as "a ** star".

Why would "Knight" get censored?

"Nig" is sometimes used as a racial slur by older, lamer racists.
