It's probably because it doesn't work on Funimation shows. But it has worked on Sony dudded shows like Astro Boy and Metropolis (although I don't think it gets the words exactly right on that one because of it being bilinguial.)
Wouldn't it be nice if there was such a thing as a filter to take bad language off of anime?

It's even worse than just having the word unbleeped in the first place!

As Atria said before, even if there was a filter that bleeped or silenced the word, you know enough bad language to know what was said, your brain is going to fill in the blank so to speak. You're still "hearing" the word even if you don't actually hear the word. For example.
"I just don't give a ****."
Even though I censored the word there, you already know that there are only three words that would fit there that are considered bad, and your brain automatically picked one and filled in the blank.
So the point Xeno is making (and I am backing) is that a filter for language is literally pointless and has no reason to exist, except perhaps for small children who don't know those words yet...but since you already know them, such a filter would be useless to you because your brain would subconsciously fill in the silence/beep with a word, so you'd still be "hearing" it in a sense.
