Swearing and censoring..

[GeneralGilliam]

Hey, I was wondering is there an official list of words that must be censored for vocals because as slang grows very wide there are many variations of swear words that some may think is offensive, but others may have no problem with. Like for example the word "fudge" (you know what I mean) is NOT allowed, but what about the word freak or freaking used in that context?

The public-facing "Offensive Content" page in the Creator's docs isn't up right now, but it does exist. When the Beta goes public, you'll be able to see the documentation that HMX has written up on this subject.

alright, thanks.

The general rule of thumb is whatever you hear on the radio is okay, though words like "b*tch" and "goddamn" sometimes get censored depending on context and frequency of use.

What if I have Sirius radio????

Public Radio. Like AM and FM...

Alright, because I sometimes hear words such as the ones mentioned above allowed through like they're okay, but sometimes I hear ones that aren't swear words censored like freaking and crap, a lot of times it depends on the station.

Considering how often "freaking" and "crap" turn up on Homestar Runner cartoons, I think you can get away with those words in a T-rated game.

Depends on your radio station. Some radio stations play the same censored version of Man in the Box that appeared in RB2, some play the original.
