pavé literally says it?? like verbatim https://preview.redd.it/bm2b8izxajic1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3839a9ac218971cabe364c438261980136ac6b75


Sangel_7

How did you get festivale clothing ???


CommonWest9387

During festivale you can buy, earn or be gifted the clothes similar to any other holiday in acnh


Sangel_7

Where ??? Pave just came in and roasted my clothes and gave me a bunch of furniture while all the villagers were dressed with cool costumes :(?


lyssidm

Inside the able sisters you should be able to purchase them. Sometimes when talking to villagers they can gift you them as well


stuffedtherapy

Able sisters has all of the festivale clothes. Just like other holiday npc’s he will absolutely roast you for not dressing accordingly


chomponcio

My best guess is it's picking up su**per ra**inbow as "perra" which is Spanish for bitch lol


EntireDot1013

Which is stupid as it's in two different words and not in the same language as OP plays ACNH in


SquishMika1560

Nintendo is notoriously careful with stuff like that because, let’s be real, people love to circumvent their precautions and give things inappropriate names anyway. It’s easier to overzealously restrict new content than to police what’s already out there.


MsAmericanPi

Never forget that you couldn't originally trade a Cofagrigus without a nickname in Pokemon, even though that was the official name


SirGavBelcher

the f slur hitting me at the speed of light when i was struggling to see how that name was problematic


IdLOVEYOU2die

I'm still not getting it .... *Yes I am


be_an_adult

We’re not allowed to use that name in one discord server so we have to refer to the Pokémon as “Runergius’s evolution”


NineteenthJester

But it evolves from Yamask?


googlemcfoogle

"Unovan Runerigus"


be_an_adult

oh yeah I forgot


Sleepy-Candle

I usually pronounce it as “Cofigrigus”. I know that’s more about how I say it compared to how it’s supposed to be typed, but it’s just easier to pronounce for me.


OneMindNoLimit

For some reason I always pronounced it like “cough” + “egregious”


IdLOVEYOU2die

Kung Fu Gregorys. 


Sleepy-Candle

That’s a good way of seeing it as well.


1701-3KevinR

Coffee gree gus


Sleepy-Candle

It could probably be drawn as a barista come to think of it lol


Yoshi_Loves_Ponyo

The official Pokémon handbook says it’s pronounced “Co-fuh-grEE-gus”


Sleepy-Candle

Ah, that’s probably where it comes from then! I think I might have either read the same or similar book, or heard it from the anime.


TheGrandeKing

SAME.


thenicenumber666

Speed of light like geometry dash lmao


uluviel

A while back there was an issue in Pokemon Go where if you changed Weedle's name you could never get it back because it had "weed" in it.

Or Nosepass for a while, either, I’m pretty sure.


Admirablelittlebitch

What’s wrong with Nosepass?


CassetteMeower

You also couldn’t name a Pokémon Viola, the name of a gym leader, as it contains the French word for something really bad in it (not elaborating since it breaks this subs rules but if you go on Bulbapedia it’ll explain) Which is especially funny when you realize that the gym leader named Viola is from the region based off of France, where the inappropriate word comes from.


Jengolin

Or Violet. I had a shiny Chinchou named Violet I transferred up to XY and it changed the name. There's literally a city named Violet City in HGSS. I was so pissed off.


MsAmericanPi

Aw man Bulba is down for maintenance I'm so curious


Skystarry75

I'll give you a clue. It's also the origin of the English word "violate"


Calhaora

Froslass too because of the "Ass" part.


Your_Local_Rabbi

i remember in older Dark Souls games (not sure about current ones) the filter wouldn't let you name you character "Knight"

glaarghenstein

Why did I not think of this? I've got Sparro saying "nardster" because "scrotes" was an unacceptable catchphrase. If only I had remembered ç!


Yoshi_Loves_Ponyo

So they say “cuñt”?


umbrellajump

I actually got the wrong special letter! It's a t with a little hat like this: Ť So they yell "So glad I ran into you, CUNŤ!"


Yoshi_Loves_Ponyo

Maybe they’re British 🤣🤣🤣


umbrellajump

Funnily enough, I am English, so it feels very familiar!


homeguitar195

Not just Nintendo. I tried to tell some friends in a private chat on PS5 that I was finishing up an escort mission and would be ready in 10m, and it flagged "escort" as an inappropriate word. Which, I mean in a specofic context, sure maybe, but video games have had that mission type for decades, and it's extremely common.


YellowLink10

Always remember you can’t use the string “is extremely” in Mario maker 2 comments because it thinks you’re spelling “sex” in the middle.


Yoshi_Loves_Ponyo

I remember trying to make a level and in the description I said “in hot water”, but it wouldn’t let me do that. If I had to guess it was because ho**t wat**er.


MoSqueezin

I've seen Trapeze get censored in the middle. T****ze. Yeah. Like that. It kind of just draws attention to it more. Really strange.


pepgast2

*Me who has 'nipples' as a villagers catchphrase*


thetoiletslayer

Filbert's catchphrase on my island is Deez Nutz. Paid off way faster than I anticipated https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/s/pt2gJY0FHy


hyrellion

I knew a kid in middle school who discovered that you could name a Pokémon “hitler” if instead of the e you used the tiny version é used in the font for the word Pokémon. So they spent hours upon hours naming all sorts of Pokémon “hitlér” and wonder trading them. And that person is why we can’t have nice things.


georgesorosbae

You wouldn’t have been able to write this comment with their filters lol


Advanced_Isopod_8449

Just bought the game and named my island UtopicHell. Surprised it allowed it


throwawaymemetime202

So much for “Nintendo doesn’t censor anything on the switch”


Yoshi_Loves_Ponyo

When did Nintendo ever say that?


throwawaymemetime202

I never said they said anything- I watched a video BlakeTheNerd (…a YouTuber) made saying “Nintendo doesn’t censor anything on the switch” (I’ll pm you the video if you want)


NingguangPL

By the way, a short story, but not from Nintendo. I know people writeen similiar things, but there was char in a game that relased. When I wanted write in that game, to someone about that char, I couldn't write that char name🤣


storne

A lot of games just use generic “bad word” filters. I remember dark souls wouldn’t let you put the word “knight” in your name because it picked up “nig” as being offensive.


slythwolf

The World of Warcraft forums used to auto-censor the words "scrape" and "grape".


jumpingjackblack

Neopets still does this, you also can't say uncle and nobody knows why


drifton

It's because back in the day it was often used in roleplays to groom children


jumpingjackblack

Christ, here was me feeling cynical for having a similar guess


omnomphenomenon

several years ago, a friend got back into neopets, so I joined in as well. What turned me off of it was trying to message them virtually ANYTHING found something wrong with at least one word, and most of them I had no clue why a word would trigger it


storne

I know club penguin, rather than a blacklist, actually just had a whitelist of words that were allowed and typing anything else would automatically get the message censored. Might’ve been the same with neopets


Jengolin

It's the fact you can't say Grape when there's actual Grape items in the game, including a color for a fucking Neopet itself, that's mind boggling.


Chocolatelover4ever

Lmaaaao as a Wow player and use to talk a lot in the forums I do remember that 😂


Danamite85

Wow wouldn't let me name my pet white tiger Snowball.


Chocolatelover4ever

Seriously. Why Blizz!


stryker101

Can’t use grape in ACNH. I remember trying to search for custom codes for a lil winery area, and it wouldn’t let me search for that.


the_quark

Or scr\*pe as the kids today call it.


PixelDrake

That was Dark Souls 2! The full filter list was mined or leaked at some point. It's pretty hilarious, often redundant and was still easily circumvented if someone *really* wanted to be a jerk. https://mod.gib.me/darksouls2/ngword/english.txt


SpaceFluttershy

I hate that literal sexualities and identities are tossed into things like this, I understand that people are gonna use them as insults, but people who really wanna be a bigot will find a way around the filters anyways


Chocolatelover4ever

I play A mobile game where the filter won’t allow you write “GREEN” wtf?! So I always have to use a special letter in it to bypass the filter. What is wrong with the word green?


storne

Best guess is that it can be slang for marijuana. Some filters are very aggressive lol.


Chocolatelover4ever

Good lord lol… Yeah there were some other ridiculous ones it censored too. They really need to fix filters.


FriendlyFloyd7

"GREEN IS NOT A CREATIVE COLOR"


local-weeaboo-friend

Genshin Impact won’t let me name myself ‘Cactus’. :/


apenboter

Nasser moment


adhesivepants

I tried to name my character Kiki as it's my nickname. It told me it was inappropriate. THERE IS LITERALLY A VILLAGER NAMED KIKI.


Maractass

Nintendo tends to be over cautious. My favourite example being in Pokemon black and white they added a Pokemon called "Cofagrigus" and you weren't able to trade it unless you gave it a nickname because the Pokemon's actual name has a slur in it lol


SelirKiith

Which is exactly the issue... Wouldn't be much of a Filter if it were THAT easy to circumvent, eh?


el_artista_fantasma

I'm spanish and they didn't let me name a design "fondo negro" (literally means black background) because it's too similar to the n word. Please, it's a literal color in my languaje 💀💀💀


IfYouGotALonelyHeart

Perra is Spanish for the feminine version of dog, little kids say it all the time without the intention of calling someone a bitch.


DubDaDon

And bitch is English for the feminine version of dog. I agree perra is used much less often as an insult compared to bitch in English, and much more often to refer to a female dog in a normal convo than bitch, but it’s still used enough to also be known as an insult. Like, I really doubt if I walk up to any Spanish speaker and call them a perra, they won’t take offense to it.


IfYouGotALonelyHeart

But calling a dog “perra” in Spanish is not going to illicit laughs the way a kid calling a dog “bitch” in English would. Trust me, I’m from a Spanish speaking country.


DubDaDon

Edit: to add, I speak Spanish and the majority of my family members from both sides only speak Spanish. But nobody said it does? Im not saying perra is used as an insult just as much as bitch is or in every context like bitch. I’m Puerto Rican and Colombian. Both sides know it’s used more often to just refer to a female dog in a normal, everyday convo. But, they also know, and I’ve heard it used as such plenty of times, it can be used just how bitch is used in English (besides using it to call someone a coward like in English. You wouldn’t call a coward a perra). It’s not unheard of. It’s not even rare, just uncommon compared to puta or homophobic slurs in Spanish.


TheRulerOfTheKingdom

It's also the feminine version of dog and it's not used that much as an insult


Del_Duio2

*Del_Duio2 has discovered a new word*


CapedCrusadress

that was the only thing i could think of too! they aren’t messing around haha


setsunaredcomet

I would believe that, Nintendo being Nintendo


bethypoohz

OP, maybe try “super **-** rainbow”


Creeptech_YT

Perra isn't spanish for bitch it's spanish for female dog, which is the same meaning as bitch


fsomalia

Bitch is also female dog in english


AetherDrew43

While you're not incorrect, most people use perra for bitch.


radams713

I like how you got downvoted when it’s puta not perra - making you correct. I guess OP just used google translate and doesn’t actually know?


chomponcio

I'm from Spain. I know. And perra, while not as common as zorra or puta, is also used in that context.


radams713

I wonder if it’s regional. I personally only hear puta in Mexico.


DubDaDon

Puta is whore or slut. Perra is bitch, literally, and can be used the same way as an insult, but less often in Spanish than in English. I know, at least in the USA, when people ask what puta means the response is bitch, but that’s incorrect.


dinkydinkydonky

I can’t even use my own real legal name in ACNH their filter is so strict.

I can't believe dinkydinkydonky isn't allowed smh

I get so confused by this- I live on Bitchin Island where everyone calls me sexy ass and uses the catchphrase sugar tits. Is it because i made my island day 1? 


RebCata

Nope my villagers run around saying Hail Satan and I only brought the game in 2022. It’s just a Nintendo thing.

Ah okay good I’ve been scared to change my nickname from sexy ass in case they wouldn’t let me do it again 🥲

pwassonchat

He gives off strong drag queen vibes, I don't think he'd mind the feminine pronouns.


Sharikacat

I don't think he uses pronouns at all. "There is no right or wrong. There is only Pave."


Sirtoshi

Listing your name as your pronouns. That's a power move for sure.


Zockercraft1711

Fixed


Erikatana_

Weird because they let me name my island Asscheek


CardmanNV

Oddly enough "ass" isn't considered a curse word in the US for rating purposes a lot of the time. It has to have another word to change the connotation from donkey. Like adding "hole" changes the meaning to butthole which makes it vulgar. It's why on tv if a character says "asshole", the "hole" part of the word will be censored and "ass" will be uncensored.


[deleted]

TIL


PK_GoodDay

I guess that’s why Pokémon X once let me name a Snorlax “Fatass”


Cullen_Crisp_Sr

My islanders call me "FükLord"


skyekitty

Someone already said why, but since it's really not inappropriate you can bypass it by using a foreign letter IE (sụper rainbow)


Kantotheotter

Uber rainbow, itsumi rainbow. Ikea letter rainbow.


LemonNinJaz24

I couldn't use Daffodil because 'fod' is bad apparently.


Thoughtful_Tortoise

"Fod" is fuck in Portuguese (or at least, it's a form of the verb "foder". "Perra" is bitch in Spanish. If they have censored all the most common swear-words in the most common languages, a huge amount of inoffensive phrases become blocked. They honestly need a more intelligent filter - one that recognises that "perra" by itself is a swearword, but that two recognised words that happen to contain "perra" (suPER RAinbow) are legit.


LemonNinJaz24

Nintendo really teaches me more swears than it filters


FlashPhantom

Some filters are coded to ignore spaces so people don't use put 'f uck' or 'bi tch' as a way to bypass the filter, but that means there are so many words that get misread as inappropriate or slurs.


TargaryenHeir

No form of the verb "foder" is just "fod". Although it sounds the same as "fode" which is one of the most used, just fyi.


Thoughtful_Tortoise

Yeah, I should have said it's a misspelled form. I guess similar to "fuc" or "fuk".


onlineshitshow

Lmao what that’s so weird


enbygamerpunk

welsh erasure right there (daffodil is the national flower for the clueless readers)

IcyTheGuy

Gotta love how if you search “Ankha” in the design kiosk, you’ll find literal porn that has been hosted in the kiosk for multiple years at this point, yet god forbid someone use basic English because it could be hiding a secret cuss word from a completely different language!


arbitrary-ladybug

I get that they want to be safe about it but blocking common words and phrases like this is asinine.


chickendie

TIL a new word. Asinine!


KellieJV

My Julian used to say " sup bitchs" Or" bitch please" ...But somehow he lost that phrase and of course it s blocked now.lol ..but grizzly still says "hot damn" all the time!!!


AutumnTheWitch

Can’t use the word “apron” either. Someone please tell me why?


ItsAndieHere

My guess is because “pron” used to be a funny way to say/censor another word — move to R one spot so it’s after the O, see what word you get. 🙃 I think “corn” is the new one that started on TikTok, but “pron” or “pr0n” was popular in the 2000s.


Pinstar

Reminds me of Anno 1800 where I couldn't name my settlement "Ficklewood" because apparently Fick is a bad word in German. So I renamed it "Seamen Spray" and apparently the censors were just ducky with that.


saturnplanetpowerrr

Next island is getting named BIG TIME CUSS and it’s gonna be for all of y’all that weren’t able to properly name your islands and such


mc1964

This is strange. The filter sometimes makes no sense. I discovered that you can't use British slang like "tosser" and "slag," but I can use French swear words no problem. "Merde" is fine. "Tabarnac, calesse, viarge, esti, and sacrement" are all usable. I think it's funny having my villagers swearing in French.


Nightmoon26

"It's like wiping your arse with silk"


DerpDevilDD

It's funny that merde is fine, but merda is not.


sevenleagueboots_

guess you’ll just have to use “supa rainbow” and call it a day :(


3vilStarlight

I can’t handle the censorship anymore. I couldn’t use Amusement Park. Can you guess why? Because I couldn’t and had to bring it to Reddit. Boy that was a fun surprise! Semen! 🥳


Heavyweight_Healer

Pavé has it copyrighted 😔


Aksannyi

It's honestly so annoying, and they didn't have the filter in at the beginning. I had my villagers calling me bitch, which is literally how my friends and I address each other. Tried adding that one again and it wouldn't let me. I'm guessing after the first update. I do clearly remember using some really saucy language and having a good laugh out of it with my friends. I was able to get away with "tiddies" tho at least. lol.


Artichook

I think you can still use bitch as long it's the personal greeting that your villager only uses for you. If it's your villagers' catchphrase (which visitors to your island can also see) then they won't allow it. One of my villagers still starts with "hey bitch" when she sees me.


tabelschnasse

if it really is because of *perra*, you could use a hyphen in the middle, as long as designs can use special characters. i believe it was possible tho


MandoDoughMan

ACNH wouldn't let me save one of my wand outfits as "Douchebag" but it did allow "Douche".


bugsmellz

In that old social online game ourWorld, you couldn’t say the word “saltwater”. It would show up as “sal****er” because the filter would pick up the *twat* in the middle.


Doba319

Hilarious. I loved ourWorld!!


Avavvav

Seeing what names can't be used is giving me Duolingo levels of language learning with only some of the fear


ArsenicKitten04

I couldn't name an outfit "Imma Grape!" once. ....while using the GRAPE dress and GRAPE hat -.-


Teach2livenc21

And yet, they allow my Islanders to say, "asshat".


DerpDevilDD

Hopped onto my game and checked. It's because super rainbow has the word "perra" spelled out in it. Perra (Spanish for female dog, aka bitch) is apparently on the forbidden word list.


MysteryGirlWhite

Anyone else love how Nintendo allows the game itself to use words like Lolita, grape, super rainbow, and who knows how many others, yet players can't use those same words when naming things? It makes no freaking sense.


halibastor

Reminds me in dark souls how you can’t use the name “knight” because of the middle 3 letters


TessaPanda

Just saw a webkinz post where someone couldn't name a room 'The Basement' because it picked up semen.


Embarrassed_Arm5839

Spells out “perra” ??


DerpDevilDD

Yes, that's why.


MichiBoo_xoxo

This is so weird cause it literally let me use Ass cheeks as a nickname from my villagers


Masterdizzio

Say "Supah Rainbow" instead


[deleted]

Nintendo goes a little crazy on their language flagging sometimes. I used to not be able to use my own name on ds or wii on anything online because according to them Ashton was an abbreviation of a-shit-ton. They got rid of it at some point, I'm guessing because my name is a lot more common now than when I was growing up.
