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.
You're G****mn right.
Fucking h*ck.
Did you just say the fuck word?
at least he censored the H word
I'm telling Mom you both said fuck.
Because that's just how their censor works. It's a well known fact for anyone used to steam.
Niger is a known intentional misspelling of the n-word used to circumvent censorship. So this is an evolution of the Scunthorp problem.
The hearts are how steam censors things it believes to be swears
