you know how E rated games like pokemon and animal crossing have little text boxes you can fill in with names or phrases or answers to questions or letters or whatever? and you know how it detects if you put a bad word in the text box and it tells you to change it?

that means, somewhere in the code of the game, there’s a list of horrible, terrible, awful words that it checks to dictate whether or not what you’re saying is okay.

like, a small group of people got together at nintendo, one of the most family friendly companies in existence, and they brainstormed all of the worst possible words you could say. and that’s in the code of the game.

that’s hilarious to me.
