Is 'Honkai: Star Rail' a Banned Word on NetEase Cloud Music?

Recently, players discovered an odd form of censorship on NetEase Cloud Music. Users trying to name a playlist 'Honkai: Star Rail' were blocked by a 'sensitive content' filter. Interestingly, if you break the name apart—using only 'Honkai' or 'Star Rail'—the system works perfectly, confirming that the combination itself is being flagged.

This discovery sparked heated discussions in the community. Commenters offered various theories: some believe it's a defensive measure by NetEase due to the intense rivalry between major gaming companies; others simply shrug it off as typical, unpredictable behavior from the platform. Some users even noted that similar restrictions have appeared on platforms like Tencent's QQ and WeChat regarding reservation links. While the official HoYo-MiX account is still active on NetEase, this 'sensitive word' filter remains a confusing hurdle for fans.
