IMDB's policy on transcribing offensive words when they appear in a character name in on-screen credits
I notice for title Funny Cow (2017) tt3814808 "the C word" in a character name has been rendered in the IMDB cast list as "Fat C***". Is that an IMDB policy decision or should it be transcribed as it was listed in the on-screen credits? The form validation seems to allow it.

Hi martin_695862 -
Concerning your question about censoring offensive or profane character names, I'm not familiar with any policy surrounding a requirement to censor the name text, however, I have reached out to the appropriate policy team to confirm, as soon as I get confirmation I will provide the information here.
Cheers!
