Youtube doesn't censor most pejoratives in comments, as you can tell by reading any of the comments.

#18wow, three "google bans/deletes" on the frontpage today. Its never too early to start ditching everything google.

#20Try commenting 共匪 on any youtube video, the comment will be deleted after ~15 seconds

This is gonna backfire so hard, Streisand effect is coming.
I tried 共匪 and 共.匪, both got deleted.
