Looks like they censored the country Niger in their own post.

Steam censored it for them. Nobody would go and use hearts if they were to self censor. They'd use ****ing asterisks.

I'm telling Mom you both said fuck.

Niger is a known intentional misspelling of the n-word used to circumvent censorship. So this is an evolution of the Scunthorp problem.
