   I tried to post "This is what passes as playable?!", and #PlayStation blocks it because it "contains profanity". PlayStation Five, ladies and gentlemen, and everyone else! #PS5

     @hellomiakoda Are they taking offense at “passes”, or “playable”?

     @CynAq The fuck did my post have to do with transphobia?

     @hellomiakoda I can’t think of any context other than transphobia tbh

     @CynAq @hellomiakoda It is nutz. Once you accept the premise of “I need to write code to prevent 12 year old from using curse words at each other and freaking out their parents”, a cascade of bad solutions fall out.

     @joshrivers @CynAq It is pretty bad trying to post from PSN. But the dumbest was 3DS. They had forums in the console, one for each game. You had to have the game to use the matching forum. I got suspended for posting a screen shot of Angry Video Game Nerd's game, int ht game's forum, because the pause menu has "Fuck it" as an option.
     Players without the game couldn't see those posts.

     @hellomiakoda @CynAq The word “passing” has trans meaning.

     But I disagree. I used to play an online game that would sensor “grape”. So I believe it is the word fragment that got flagged.

     I made some very funny posts on that game riffing on the terrors of grape…but nobody understood them because it was just *****.

     @joshrivers Wait, so you mean it’s picking out ass from passes? Geez.

     Also, I’m sorry for not picking my words better to clear the meaning. I was alleging PlayStation management were engaging in some trans erasure, not insinuating your post was transphobic @hellomiakoda . I’m terribly sorry for the distress I might’ve caused.
