After sending a message to someone, I was surprised to find that, when I used the word b***h, it was censored. I was surprised because I was using it to refer to female canines. This means that the usage of b***h in this context is neither offensive nor a swear word.

Thus, the censorship of the word is utterly pointless and I believe Gaia should update its censorship system (or whatever they use) to recognise when these words are being used offensively and when they are not.

I -completely- agree. Censorship in general is crap. My mom tries to tell me I can't say the word "hell" because she believes it to be a curseword. It is the name of a place in every possible usage.

And what about the word f**k? It has so many uses it's insane. Not always is it used in an insult. (e.g; What the f**k?; Where the f**k are we? I'm f**king bored.)

Exactly. Unfortunately, words of the English language are frequently misused, and if she were a living being, this would surely cause her great anguish.

Sometimes I do not even know what people are saying when it is cencored.

That could be a good thing though, if it was used in the incorrect context. wink
