What makes it funnier and more bizarre is that you can curse as much as you want in your native language, you just can't do it in English.
It just feels kinda pointless I've never understood this obsession with censoring language but it's a very common thing in US media which companies correct themselves by.
It's kinda stuck in this '' family friendly '' age where angry parents called into tv stations because their kid heard a f-word on tv.

Edit: With random btw I meant that I am typing in Swedish and not thinking about this, it's not like it's on my mind all the time what something means in English.
Then when I send it, it ends up being censored and I am like wtf...
Not that just random words get censored.

On Steam in particular I think that words get censored because they just have '' bad words '' in them too which makes it even more bizarre.
And there's a ton of other words with it, so for example if I say '' slutsten '' then the whole word will get censored..
It's even funnier on things when they only censor the part of a word because of their filter on things because then it even starts hitting people speaking english on those things like they'll type assassinate and it will appear in chat as ******inate.
