Why would Fromsoft censor names like it does?

[Tyler McRae]

Didn't they learn that it doesn't work? Because the letter combination 'ho' is censored, my character's name, "The Mad Chopper," now shows up as "The Mad C**pper." What the hell, Fromsoft? There's no positive gain from censoring words like that. Your ESRB is already M. Censoring them will not lower it any, and removing this censoring wouldn't raise it. It's... really damn stupid.

EDIT: This also means that '♥♥♥' is censored, leaving the word "Knight" in anybody's name, to show up as "K***ht." WHY!?

They dont censor F*ggot
But they censor Knight

[Domino/DarkEyv]

"Rump" and "ho" also both get censored despite the fact that neither of the words are anywhere near profane. Though I guess, at the very least, it's a little amusing to see Donald T****s and G**sts every now and then in your own world or the worlds of others.

Seems they don't just censor "bad words," they censor anything that's a synonym, abbreviation, or just remotely related to any "bad word" in any way.

To this day you can't name your character Knight in a game with a medieval fantasy setting
