The censored one is probably Niger

Looks like they censored the country Niger in their own post.

Steam censored it for them. Nobody would go and use hearts if they were to self censor. They’d use ****ing asterisks.

Because that’s just how their censor works. It’s a well known fact for anyone used to steam.

Niger is a known intentional misspelling of the n-word used to circumvent censorship. So this is an evolution of the Scunthorp problem.
