DISCUSSION inconsistent censorship?

what’s with Fortnite’s inconsistency in censorship? in Lean With Me by Juicewrld they censor pills, drugs, and the usual curse words. then towards the end of the song they say lean (when referencing the substance not the action of leaning), pills, and drugs. simply doesn’t make sense? if we can hear it once why not all through the song?

IIRC epic themselves aren’t doing the censoring, it’s the music owners

we get a million billion posts about this every day (slight exaggeration), the labels provide alrrady-censored versions of the songs so they're not gonna be consistent with each other.

They censor "fuck" in a few songs but keep "Sieg Heil" in Holiday.

The latter was likely a request from the band. Hayley doesn't even sing that line anymore.

Any Spanish song is 99% of the time completely uncensored, they get away with so much blatant sexual stuff
