Why is Bulbasaur banned?

However, despite its popularity and allure, Bulbasaur holds the distinction of being banned by at least one online platform for featuring offensive content. In this article, we investigate the reasons behind Bulbasaur’s ban and explore the background knowledge that led to this decision. The revelation is both surprising and intriguing!
(Why is Bulbasaur contains a German curse word?)
Bulbasaur’s ban is attributed primarily due to the presence of a seemingly "inappropriate" word "Sau" in its name. Upon an in-depth analysis of various BulbaPedia sources [ 1 ], it becomes obvious the word "Sau" denotes reference to the German word for a "pig" or "swine. This word, surprisingly finds its way into numerous modern German idioms that also carry a negative connotation (Maulsau[ 2 ]). In conclusion:
Bulbasaur’s name contains a German curse word related
to a certain barnyard animal, which is both taboo and
culturally-offensive.
