Why is the "that word" being censored across lemmy? (ani.social)

Not sure if this is the right place, but I've seen this for the 3rd removed now.

Literally couldn't use the word in the title ... got a red pop-up that said "slur".

It's the 3rd word (singular) in the famous newspaper from New York ....

UPDATE: seems to be an issue with ani.social, thanks for all the feedback!

    Thanks so much, I knew there was some kind of term of concept for that but couldn't find it!

    I remember back in the early web days I was trying to make a post on a forum with something about Dick Van Dyke, getting a double-whammy name block. He already unfamiliar to the younger people even back then, so none of my attempts to explain who I was talking about worked. I couldn't even say what show he starred in for them to look up, since it was also called The Dick van Dyke Show.
