I think that copyright laws are stricter in Japan or something, which is why you'll often see "Wcdonald's" as a parody of McDonald's in Japanese media. Not sure why they would do that in fic though. Maybe the author just read a lot of manga or something, and it's a stylistic choice?

I think it was originally about copyright, but now it's more of a parody thing. Censoring brand names is like a normal part of Japanese humor. It happens with celebrity names too, which can't be copyrighted. Sometimes it's under the guise of "no celebrities were harmed" but it's really just because bleeps and empty circles (more common in Japanese than asterisks and serve the same purpose) are "funny," there's no legal obligation to do it.

You know, that doesn't bother me like Sw*tch does. Call it a Shift instead and that's fine, doesn't bother me. Call Brad Pit, Chad Trench. Whatever. That is kind of funny. But M*necraft irrationally annoys me for some reason.
