Madison County Public Library administrators were asked to go over a list of potentially “sexually explicit” books to be moved from the children’s and young adult section to the adult section. The majority of these books were about the LGBTQ community. At least one was added to the list because the author’s last name is Gay.

      Also gloriously resulting in sporting news stories being auto-censored to be about “rugby prostitutes” in the US.

        To be fair, “ball-tickler” is a weird name for a field position so I see why they edited it.

          Is the “tight end” in American football any better?

            You haven’t heard someone toeing the line of decency until you have listened to ex-Tight End Greg Olsen. I swear to god he talks in double entendre on purpose

      Honestly, my favorite use of this is Guild Wars 2 turning everything censored into ‘kitten’.
