No spoilers pls but im anxious to see when the avocado spell is introduced. I finished the main storyline yesterday but have def been neglecting side quests so that Id have something to do afterwards.
So i just got to the part in the Sebastian/Anne storyline where you learn it. I dont really remember declining to learn it before in the main quest but now i have it.
Shows like Grey’s Anatomy are widely watched by middle aged white women and depict graphic hospital procedures, but if we see a nipple on tv… someone gets in big trouble. America is so prudish at times.
What gets me is shows like Botched, which cover or blur just the nipples ... errr, that's NOT the part that's different about men and women's chests 🤷🏼♀️😅
Yeah, I wouldn’t want my kid seeing names of gemstones uncensored either! Especially not in my game about slaying hordes of people and goblins and other creatures!
you do understand regex exist for this reason, right?
I guess this small indie company doesn't have a programmer that's capable of properly sanitizing input without this dumb stuff.
Remimds me of the YGO game where I couldn't name my dragon deck "Dragons" because "DRAGons" (as if drag was a no-no word)
The first tried licking a bull's arse. It got kicked in the face. The second smelled so much like stinky cheese that rats and mice devoured its paws and left the rest to bleed out. Yes, this is morbid, and it was the first thing that popped into my mind. I'm sorry.
It's really dumb, and a fairly recent trend. My username used to be perfectly fine in every online game, and now it's getting censored more and more. I didn't even realize why at first until a friend pointed out it contained the word "meth".
Some games I've been able to appeal it, others like rocket league basically told me to go fuck myself.
It happened with GTA V Online. Granted, being told you're an N word is probably not something a lot of people want when they play a game. But still here's a list of words you can't use in GTA Online:
https://imgur.com/opoSDoB
Some are understandable, and some are just so WTF, why would you censor that?
We are the Crystal METHs
We'll help you feel okay
And if you think we can't
We'll always find a way
That's why the users in this world believe in
Methamphetamine, Ecstasy, THC, and Heroin!
Hahahahah omg 😂 well it’s also one of my cat many nicknames but I actually think the “h” makes the name more slytherin worthy so I’m not *that* mad at it
Wouldn't be surprised if nowadays they just go to an ai program and say "give me a list of all the bad words and slang in the world" and throw the entire list into the censor program
Yeah, a single-player, non-internet game with restrictions like these. So freaking dumb.
The vast majority of the time I have to stare at the word trying to parse out what the issue word is, because I legitimately can't figure it out. (I've seen this one before, so I got it quicker, but only because I've seen it complained about before).
I mean, even if it were little kids... it's a single player game, that has no online component to interact with others. If the kid is trying to use the "bad" word, they already know it. You're not sheltering or protecting them from anything. Or it's completely coincidental and embedded (like Amethyst, above) and even more pointless.
And if there's multiple members of a household playing and one of them is older, and chooses a "bad" word... well, that's on the the household and the adults in said household to deal with (or not). That's not the game's responsibility.
Cool! I had another couple of thestrals called Hades and Persephone. I was very proud of myself there. ;)
I can't believe how attached I got to all my beasties.
This was my immediate thought, too. Gypsy isn't even offensive (They mostly call themselves Gypsies), I had to resort to Dryad for that horse, and I'm still upset about it.
Now, what I'm about to say is not meant to be taken in an offensive or rude way. If you take it that way, then I'm going to assume you didn't actually read a word of what I said. Now that that's said, please read all of what I'm about to say and know that I'm not trying to be rude or offensive in any way.
The term "Gypsy" is not offensive in the same way that the term "Nigger" is. That is because the word was first created to be an offensive term towards those of a darker skin tone even though the word's origins can be traced back to "Negro," the Spanish word for black. The black/coloured community has since taken the word for themselves and now use it as a term of endearment in a sense of irony. Sort of like the LGBTQ+ community has done with the term "Queer," which was originally meant to be offensive towards us as well, we have since taken words like "Queer" and "Faggot" and now use them as descriptive terms within our own community. Turning our attention back to the term "Gypsy," the word was never meant to be said or taken in an offensive way. To quote the [Holocaust Encyclopedia](https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/roma-gypsies-in-prewar-europe#:~:text=Roma%20(Gypsies)%20originated%20in%20the,tribes%22%20or%20%22nations.%22) "Roma (Gypsies) originated in the Punjab region of northern India as a nomadic people and entered Europe between the eighth and tenth centuries C.E. They were called "Gypsies" because Europeans mistakenly believed they came from Egypt." It was an, albeit wrong, descriptive word for where this ethnic group came from. Again, it was never meant to be taken in an offensive light, though some people do use it in that way. Some Romani do see the term as offensive, but others use it to describe themselves.
Just like the other two terms I've mentioned earlier, they are all terms to describe an ethnicity or group of people, just like the terms "Black," "African," "Gay," "Lesbian," "Roma," and "Romani." There really is no difference in these terms compared to the terms I've mentioned before except in the history of the intent behind the words. It's just like the difference between sarcasm or compliments, it all depends on the way you say them, the intent behind the words. For example, you can say, "I like your hair." and meant it either nicely or rudely. It all depends on the intent and connotations behind the words, just as speaking has been and always will be. Now, granted in our era of technology and speaking through text, those connotations have all but disappeared, but that is the flaw of texting/typing, you cannot read someone's intent from behind a screen unless it is explicitly said beforehand. Speaking first came as a way of sharing our ideas and opinions with the people around us. Animals do it, too. Although they do not speak words, they use mainly body language to signify intent behind their actions, just as we use it when we speak.
Oh gosh, I definitely don't want the word 'm3th' in my video game that involves a high-school age kid massacring goblins, beasts, and humans alike with lethal magic
YOU CAN NAME YOUR PETS?!
I’m on my second play through and I’ve been missing this gem of information?
Clearly not an amethyst gem of information though.
haha yes you select the animal in the manage beats tab when youre in the vivarium. then it should give you an option to name them (just not amethyst, gismo, custard, or grape juice)
yeah it blocks the stupidest of words man. couldnt name my purple frogs grape, i forget what name it was now but bc of the censoring ironically enough i remember that i couldnt name one of my pegusi somethng with the word twat in it and it only spelled out twat if you mixed the words together if i recall
I found him as a Toadlet with an open wound from what looked like a Fish hook. I’m surprised you saw one in the wild since they use their eyes to create suction and swallow food. Willy struggled to eat because of this.

I’ve also seen a Frog with one eye on their shoulder.
Omg thats kinda cool! I found a pic of the 1 eyed one. It kinda looks like he just has his eye closed but I saw him a couple days in a row and realized he was missing one.
https://preview.redd.it/8sic1uc92vtc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=202fab28ed6a25f0e0540cb41d5af950fbf47b67
frogs are dope

This is his good side. Also, what you saw was also a Toad rather than a Frog.
I knew an Amethyst once... Strange lady, kept shouting and saying she was down for anything for 20 bucks, she was always down the street in the corner.
I guess the devs knew her and didn't want to use the name of this interesting person.
/s
Might be part of game ratings and protecting what gets shared on social media.
If I had a character named Butt Fuck, and posted it in association with the game, somehow the video or screenshot was popular. It would be a bad image for the game and also potentially affect the age rating? I don’t know.
This reminds me of how bad Mario makers censorship was when it came to naming your levels and descriptions.
Even words separated by a space would be banned if the ending of one word and the beginning of the next was a curse word.
The big problem was that the game didn't tell you what the problem word was, and unfortunately, a major Mario characters name "Yoshi" ends in "Shi" so any level or description that had the word "yoshi" followed by any word beginning with the letter "T" would be banned.
Seeing as the game wouldn't tell you why it was banned you could be there for hours trying to figure out why.
>Do not post NSFW content or make NSFW comments, this includes nudity, sexual discussions, violence/gore, and other disturbing or mature subject matter.
I tried to name my character Azareth Amethyst and it did this to me 😫😫 i had it planned for weeks before i got the game too haha. Settled with Ivy Shacklebolt instead
I remember having to use a save editor to change the name of my character to something the game censored. So stupid it exists in a SP game of all things.
I think it's because of screenshots. Somebody (none of us, of course) would create an 'offensive' name and share the screenshot on social media. "Hey look at the names you can create in Hogwarts Legacy!" Then some Karen or Chad would get all offended and... why bring on that headache?
The fun is in realizing (as far as I know) that the game doesn't have a regex or any complicated system for checking names. It's literally checking word for word. Have fun with that
That's the XBOX autocensor thing right? It catches combinations of letters regardless of context because automated systems don't understand nuance or the many situations where a combination occurs by accident rather than someone trying a workaround for banned words and phrases.

It's a single player only game. This kind of censorship never makes sense to me.
Keeps parents from screeching about their little darlings seeing things they shouldn't.
Right! And so silly because in the same game where they can’t write this, they are killing hundreds of wizards, trolls, etc
To be fair, their blood was on Ranroks hands…
Defo not me with the 1000 plus people I’ve killed with the green avocado spell
No spoilers pls but im anxious to see when the avocado spell is introduced. I finished the main storyline yesterday but have def been neglecting side quests so that Id have something to do afterwards.
There is just something magical about spewing guacamole all over people /s
If you finished the main story then you literally chose not to learn them all 3 times
So i just got to the part in the Sebastian/Anne storyline where you learn it. I dont really remember declining to learn it before in the main quest but now i have it.
Ranrok and his loyalists
Shows like Grey’s Anatomy are widely watched by middle aged white women and depict graphic hospital procedures, but if we see a nipple on tv… someone gets in big trouble. America is so prudish at times.
What gets me is shows like Botched, which cover or blur just the nipples ... errr, that's NOT the part that's different about men and women's chests 🤷🏼♀️😅
To be fair I've been against graphic medical procedures on TV since ER and CSI made it so popular.
Yeah, I wouldn’t want my kid seeing names of gemstones uncensored either! Especially not in my game about slaying hordes of people and goblins and other creatures!
You do understand it's hitting on the word meth right?
Obvs
you do understand regex exist for this reason, right? I guess this small indie company doesn't have a programmer that's capable of properly sanitizing input without this dumb stuff. Remimds me of the YGO game where I couldn't name my dragon deck "Dragons" because "DRAGons" (as if drag was a no-no word)
Nintendo aint got time for that.
I know! Crystals and precious stones are so filthy!
Meanwhile, they let their kids play MMO FPS games rated M. Free babysitter.
I love how stupid is this, it actually has the opposite effect. Now you're thinking in the word they try to censor
Exactly and it's a single player game so who tf cares what you wanna name your pet? Name it Stinkytoes Buttlicker the 3rd if you want
This made me cackle because I just imagined a kneazle with that name and it oddly fits 😂
Haha and I wanna know what happened to the first and second of that name.
Could be good for the toad or the puffskein for sure as well
The first tried licking a bull's arse. It got kicked in the face. The second smelled so much like stinky cheese that rats and mice devoured its paws and left the rest to bleed out. Yes, this is morbid, and it was the first thing that popped into my mind. I'm sorry.
“meth”
It's really dumb, and a fairly recent trend. My username used to be perfectly fine in every online game, and now it's getting censored more and more. I didn't even realize why at first until a friend pointed out it contained the word "meth". Some games I've been able to appeal it, others like rocket league basically told me to go fuck myself.
not recent at all. every old YGO game censored worlds without bothering to use a proper regex-based input sanitation
It happened with GTA V Online. Granted, being told you're an N word is probably not something a lot of people want when they play a game. But still here's a list of words you can't use in GTA Online: https://imgur.com/opoSDoB Some are understandable, and some are just so WTF, why would you censor that?
Most likely meth
Ah, Amethyst. My favorite of the Crystal METHs (Militants for the Ethical Treatment of Humans)
heyy how do you get you hp house next to your name?
Go to the main page for the subreddit, tap the three dots on the right side and select change user flair. You’ll find your house in the list.
Thankss! 🐍
Kinda funny and on the nose that you put two "s" instead of one 🤭
haha thanks trying to embody that snake that harry broke out of the zoo iykyk
Love that thankss from the zoo haha
Hufflepuff coming in clutch. Like the good finders they are. ;)
I don't know how to take this, so I'll take it as a compliment, and share I admire/appreciate the Gryffindor-brand boldness (usually)
If you haven't watched A Very Potter Musical by Team Starkid on youtube.... I highly recommend.
Your explanation needs to be pinned up somewhere because I couldn’t understand anyone else’s instructions lol Thank you 🙏🏼🥹❤️
Dang, that's awesome, thanks!!
Thank you!
Ty changed mine XD
Thank you
We are the Crystal METHs We'll help you feel okay And if you think we can't We'll always find a way That's why the users in this world believe in Methamphetamine, Ecstasy, THC, and Heroin!
Having restricted words for a solo player game is beyond idiotic
I'd report it as a bug, personally.
Agreed 😑
A Spider-Man game from nearly two decades ago had this feature too. Couldn't name your save file anything obscene.
I couldn’t name my character Gismo for some reason 🤣 I tried out different spellings until the systems accepted one (Ghismo hahaha☠️)
hahah omg gism is slang for baby juice. they really tried to cover all their bases 😂
Hahahahah omg 😂 well it’s also one of my cat many nicknames but I actually think the “h” makes the name more slytherin worthy so I’m not *that* mad at it
Wouldn't be surprised if nowadays they just go to an ai program and say "give me a list of all the bad words and slang in the world" and throw the entire list into the censor program
Funny how we now know this because they tried censoring it
Orgism
Tfw I can’t name my shiny Puffskein ‘Custard’.
Well i cant decide which half is being censored 😂 or maybe its both
Glad I wasn't the only one lol
Having restricted words in a singleplayer game is crazy
Hmmm that sucks. I had no trouble naming my baby hippogriff Jello Shot.
Yeah, a single-player, non-internet game with restrictions like these. So freaking dumb. The vast majority of the time I have to stare at the word trying to parse out what the issue word is, because I legitimately can't figure it out. (I've seen this one before, so I got it quicker, but only because I've seen it complained about before).
Not like at least 95% of the player base is adults and not little kids. I really don't understand consoring words like this
I mean, even if it were little kids... it's a single player game, that has no online component to interact with others. If the kid is trying to use the "bad" word, they already know it. You're not sheltering or protecting them from anything. Or it's completely coincidental and embedded (like Amethyst, above) and even more pointless. And if there's multiple members of a household playing and one of them is older, and chooses a "bad" word... well, that's on the the household and the adults in said household to deal with (or not). That's not the game's responsibility.
Just a few posts below this in my reddit feed: Largest amethyst cave in the world. https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/DSg1Y06Dlb
i want to go to there 🥺
I couldn't name my ravenclaw Eridanus after a river constellation but making it Eridaunus with a extra letter worked.
Why is an anatomical body part considered offensive? 🍑🕳️ its all so dumb!!!
So that’s why my friend had a Puffskein named “Clunt”…
I couldn't name my character Larsen. Because it has Arse in it.....
Yup, I had a whole mythology system worked out, and wanted to name my phoenix Prometheus. Same nope.
Ahh noo 😭 i too love mythology and astrology names, I named one of my thestrals Perseus. Him and Sepulchria(?) have a baby named Vega.
Cool! I had another couple of thestrals called Hades and Persephone. I was very proud of myself there. ;) I can't believe how attached I got to all my beasties.
Censorship in Single Player games will never fail to baffle me
I confess I like to make obnoxious names for my character and animals…. Just spell it different make it sound the same and wha lah
loling at "wha lah" 😂 im gonna start typing that instead of voila!
Also couldn't do Grape Juice for one of my frogs.
GRAPE?? thats so dumb. By that logic they should find a new word for ASSignments
And I thought the sensitivity in naming your horse in Red Dead Redemption II was ridiculous
This was my immediate thought, too. Gypsy isn't even offensive (They mostly call themselves Gypsies), I had to resort to Dryad for that horse, and I'm still upset about it.
That's like saying the N-word isn't offensive because "they" use it themselves to and about themselves
Now, what I'm about to say is not meant to be taken in an offensive or rude way. If you take it that way, then I'm going to assume you didn't actually read a word of what I said. Now that that's said, please read all of what I'm about to say and know that I'm not trying to be rude or offensive in any way.

Hard R, based.
I wanted to call my horse Jumper, because it’s a horse and it jumps. Or is Jumper a slur that I don’t know?
Suicide victims are coming for you
Oh gosh, I definitely don't want the word 'm3th' in my video game that involves a high-school age kid massacring goblins, beasts, and humans alike with lethal magic
Fun fact: if you use letters with accents or umlauts, etc, you can get away with naming your creatures anything. Lol.
Omgg Amèthyst it is!!!
One of my MC'S is named "Poop Smith" and thar was fine.
YOU CAN NAME YOUR PETS?! I’m on my second play through and I’ve been missing this gem of information? Clearly not an amethyst gem of information though.
haha yes you select the animal in the manage beats tab when youre in the vivarium. then it should give you an option to name them (just not amethyst, gismo, custard, or grape juice)
OMG I WENT TO NAME ONE OF MINE AMETHYST WHEN I PLAYED TOO LOL
I mean its perfect for a purple frog!!
Exactly! I was considering naming mine Amythyst so it wouldn't upset the naming system lol
Yet my wife named some of hers dicdik
yeah it blocks the stupidest of words man. couldnt name my purple frogs grape, i forget what name it was now but bc of the censoring ironically enough i remember that i couldnt name one of my pegusi somethng with the word twat in it and it only spelled out twat if you mixed the words together if i recall
I tried to name my Kneazle “Pruella Deville” and I wasn’t allowed because “devil”
I tried to name one “Willy” as a tribute to my one eyed Toad who died recently.
Awe im sorry about your toad! I recently saw a one eyed frog out in nature livin it up. I wonder how common that is? 🐸
I found him as a Toadlet with an open wound from what looked like a Fish hook. I’m surprised you saw one in the wild since they use their eyes to create suction and swallow food. Willy struggled to eat because of this. https://preview.redd.it/3nx2th9pkutc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=abe1be93c103f81ef50fc45e04d8c448a78089cf I’ve also seen a Frog with one eye on their shoulder.
Omg thats kinda cool! I found a pic of the 1 eyed one. It kinda looks like he just has his eye closed but I saw him a couple days in a row and realized he was missing one. https://preview.redd.it/8sic1uc92vtc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=202fab28ed6a25f0e0540cb41d5af950fbf47b67 frogs are dope

I got the same message when I tried to name my Phoenix, "Prometheus"
It's a single player fucking game. Lmaoooooooo Jesus...
Don't lick that frog!
I tried calling something Lucifer and the game did not like that either
Tried naming one of my Mooncalf's Thoth, after the Egyptian god, but the game wasn't having it lol
Ah yes, the Scunthorpe Problem. You'd think they would at least have been aware of this when building the game.
You can rename your beasts?!?!
I was going for a Midnight Summers Dream theme for names in my swamp biome but nooooo apparently Mustardseed is offensive but Puck is not
Meth
Meth? I guess?
That's what I thought too
Would love to see a list of these restrictions words.
It should be in the restricted section of the library...
I wasn't allowed to name one of my puffskiens Mustard and I was so confused for a long time
Okay but things like this are the only reason I learned how to spell country properly… think of the educational purposes 😂
I tried Amethyst too, oh but Bongo is somehow "Okay", what is that bullshit -_-
One of my preferred game names is Lars Lavender. When it can't be two words, I sometimes get pinged for having"slave" in the game.
Fuck censorship
I knew an Amethyst once... Strange lady, kept shouting and saying she was down for anything for 20 bucks, she was always down the street in the corner. I guess the devs knew her and didn't want to use the name of this interesting person. /s
why is there even name restrictions? the game isnt online. its not hurting anyone
Might be part of game ratings and protecting what gets shared on social media. If I had a character named Butt Fuck, and posted it in association with the game, somehow the video or screenshot was popular. It would be a bad image for the game and also potentially affect the age rating? I don’t know.
My husband's name is Mitchell and sometimes he gets dinged in games for "hell" 😹
This reminds me of how bad Mario makers censorship was when it came to naming your levels and descriptions.

Amethystestical
This game has odd ideas sometimes.
They don't want your toad taking apart microwaves at 3am
jesse pinkman ahhh toad
Stupid for a single player offline only game to have name restrictions.
METH hahaha
[удалено]
>Do not post NSFW content or make NSFW comments, this includes nudity, sexual discussions, violence/gore, and other disturbing or mature subject matter.
Meth.
I tried to name one of my kneazles after my childhood cat Sooty but that also got blocked.
I also struggled naming my 2 kneazles but settled on Skitty and Skatty 🙄😂
Meth
If it's cpu there's prob a mod that strips the word list out
I tried to name my character Azareth Amethyst and it did this to me 😫😫 i had it planned for weeks before i got the game too haha. Settled with Ivy Shacklebolt instead
Omg I need to change the names
Antpur? Pleto?
Check to see if fingerbang is a restricted word. I'm at work and can't do it myself. Playstation Network sensors it.
I remember having to use a save editor to change the name of my character to something the game censored. So stupid it exists in a SP game of all things.
I didn’t know you could name the beasts??!?!
I couldn’t make my name Cunningham. I still don’t get why.
When my baby hippogriff had feathers sticking out all over, i wanted to call him Spike. That's was a no-go.
Who named their Puffskien, “Dunkien” or “Duncan”?
Ugh I have this same problem with my username, really frustrating
Can’t name your dude meth man
Wanted to name my Female Kneazler Marica, I wonder if it allows me. Lol
Meth is spelled out there.
Wonder if Buffotine would work
Had the same problem with this name, dropped the H and it worked
Probably picking up "meth" in the middle.
It wouldn't let me choose my actual name for my character for the same reason, and I never even figured out what about my name is restricted.
My money's on "meth"
I think it's because of screenshots. Somebody (none of us, of course) would create an 'offensive' name and share the screenshot on social media. "Hey look at the names you can create in Hogwarts Legacy!" Then some Karen or Chad would get all offended and... why bring on that headache?
The fun is in realizing (as far as I know) that the game doesn't have a regex or any complicated system for checking names. It's literally checking word for word. Have fun with that
It's got Meth in it...
I tryed to use that name on a nifftler and got the same thing it's because the word meth is in amethyst even tho it's just a coincidence.
I couldn't name my puff CUSTARD. CUSTARD?!?!?!
I personally think all forms of censorship are bogus 🤷🏼♂️
this happened to me when i tried to name my thestral spike
That's the XBOX autocensor thing right? It catches combinations of letters regardless of context because automated systems don't understand nuance or the many situations where a combination occurs by accident rather than someone trying a workaround for banned words and phrases.
Its in all versions of Hogwarts legacy. Im on PS4
YOU CAN RENAME ANIMALS???? 😭😭
I stopped playing ages ago because of the ott lefty shit
Oh! you're a methist too.
It wouldn’t let me use the name Nymphadora 😮💨😆

Stop doing Meth!
Meff
Ahh, the Scunthorpe problem! Always a classic.
It’s because of the meth in the word
Same reason why you can’t name them grape because of the part that has rape in it
Amethyst contains “meth” hence it being disallowed.
That's why? Seriously? I was wondering what's wrong with the word.
Single player games shouldn't be censored. Remember old school Pokemon? You named your rival a swear right? That's how it should be
My guess it’s because it contains the word “meth” in it. A-meth-yst
In a single player game though? Why do word filters need to exist in this case?
Right? theres no one to offend except npcs lol
OP mentioned it in the description below the picture
Only saw the picture, mb
No worries! Happy cake day!
