It's literally how we use that word in Brazil and most of South America. To refer to foreigners.

Why the fudge is this word censored?

So what? As I said earlier, animal, dog, pig, and many other words can be used derogatively but they are not censored.

Hijacking a word doesn't make the word bad. That makes the hijackers bad. Report those guys when you see them.

Doesn't matter when the US can't tolerate that word. This country Valve lived in, right? Try convincing the US president-- oh wait...

You may not agree with the word being censored, but just because you use it in an innocent way doesn't negate its use as an offensive term.

Perhaps you should use a more neutral term for foreigners such as "extranjero".

No. It's literally how WE use that word. ♥♥♥♥♥♥ is neutral.

Americans can't stand being called strangers, I guess. I could say more but then it would get political xD

It was heavily used as a derogatory term not only in the old forums but here as well.

I was offering an alternative to use that still works but wouldn't be censored.

Why is it about Americans? Odd how you're singling them out for that term considering you said

Are you sure you're not wanting to use it as an offensive word for Americans?

We call every foreigner a ♥♥♥♥♥♥, even other South Americans. They do the same to us. Nobody feels offended. "Why is it about Americans", suddenly? It wasn't sudden. The other guy made it about Americans.
