yeah, no, you don't want to know. it's not just inappropriate, it's potentially traumatizing/triggering. you're honestly better off never being exposed to it. i wish i never was.

DDLC doesn’t stand for anything inappropriate. It’s a letter off.

it does stand for something completely inappropriate and traumatizing, which is why it's blocked by the filter.

If it’s what I think it is, DDLC definitely has one letter different from the bad term. Even you-know-what dictionary (gonna play it safe and not post the name) doesn’t give any definition other than Doki Doki Literature Club.

unfortunately, if we're thinking of the same term, it's not as different as you think because it represents the same disgusting behavior and is blocked with very good reason. EA/Maxis is right on this one.

Yes please. Fire that person because they're the ones that made it so they had to rename Dina and Nina's mom to Katrina because her name gets censored.
