I'm not sure if it's still censored but skid (like skid recovery force) was censored, as well as magic and Tsukuba.
 
Why does the entire message need to be censored? Just censor the offending word. That will make EVERYONE'S lives easier.

In GT5, I believe engine was censored. Of all the words that was censored, it HAD to be engine. :rolleyes: I believe it's been fixed with GT6.
 
The Dutch word 'hoe', what means how, is also censored. In dutch so many strange words are censored that I mainly write English in GT6, otherwise it is practically impossible to write a sentence in GT6. So annoying... :D
 
Im pretty sure launching is censored but not launch.
 
Spanish

Con (with)
Derrape (skid/drift) - contains "rape"
Antiderrape (SRF) - contains "rape"
Ahora (now)

facepalm...

also, about these:
Conrod - contains "con"
Wankel - contains "wank" (I suppose)
Classes - contains "ass"
Episode - contains "pis"
Piston - contains "pis"

German

Dass (that) - contains "ass"

Yes, hoe means something very different in english! :lol:

Thanks for all your finds everyone, I'll update the OP tomorrow when I get back online to verify them 👍
 
Words with "pis", "con", "ass", and "suk" will be censored regardless of what context they're used in. No explanation needed except for "con", which is a vulgar word in French. It's the same way in a PSN text chat room.
 
Found out the other day grasshopper was censored.
 
I'm really having some great great times by the way, when I play with my friend and I'm trying to type something and fail to find the bad word so I type all slovak bad words from all that anger and boom, not censored :D

"Con" is absolutely ridiculous because its a very used word in spanish and obviously not offensive
 
Imagine a guy in a back alley selling Limited Slip Differentials to people.

"Hey man, you got it?"
"Yeah I got it. You got the money?"
"Oh yeah. Right here."
"Wanna try?"
"Sure........ Oh man, that's the stuff!" *Drifts around the corner*
 
I mostly found it funny because when I read it I thought "Well of course its censored, its a drug!" but then I remembered it also stood for Limited Slip Differential and consequently felt stupid shortly after.
 
If I recall correctly, 'Nazionale' (as in Monza) and 'SS' (as in Camaro) were censored back in GT5 because of connotations to a certain political party. Not sure if these have been fixed.
 
Maybe engi is something bad since engine was censored.
 
Bill Murray you polyphony! I hate you! lol jk

Murray is the censored word, ever since GT5.

You're playing a G rated game. A game suitable for children. If you wish to play adult games, play games with adult ratings, although if you go online you will be confronted by the same 12 year olds who seem to occupy every GT6 lobby, so I guess it doesn't make much difference. Except that a R18 game won't have language constraints.

The very obvious point of this thread is to point out that there are a great variety of words being censored which have no reason to be censored.

And please tell us all how hiding the world from children prepares them for the world? I know when I need to prepare for something I find the best thing to do is to deny all knowledge of it. Do you have any evidence that a game suitable for children needs to be censored?

Engine is some kind of old term for American Indians...
