Yes, I'm assuming it's the f-word.

Swear words are almost never totally redacted in common usage, the first consonant is maintained so you know which one.

By totally redacting the swear words, we're left to assume the worst -- maybe it was the n-word?

But if it were, you can be sure that would have been reported. The fact that it wasn't means it's almost certainly just the f-word.

But that those redacting it probably did so intentionally to try to make it look worse. Which is in bad faith.
