Twice now the word night was replaced with ***** in two of my scapes post, I'm really curious as to why.
Sony's filter - which, as a first-party game, Gran Turismo must use - censors in full any word which contains forbidden character strings.

"Night" is affected, as is "Engine", as they contain a three-letter character string (one forward, one backward) that the Sony filter doesn't permit; nobody's totally sure why, but it seems that it might be because it's a shortened version of a term used as racist abuse.
