TL;DR

Nintendo has updated its banned words list for user account names on the Switch, with a focus on blocking corruptions of the name Hitler and including the word 'TERF'. The list contains words related to controversial topics that aren't appropriate for games that minors might play. The update was discovered and published by Switch dataminer OatmealDome, who has previously reported on changes to the list. The inclusion of 'TERF' suggests that the delayed Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy may be getting closer to release.
