    Seems to work too because they lose their minds over supposed free speech impediments.

    I highly doubt it has any sort of an effect. I mean you can get around it with a dot or a synonym or whatever. There’s a reason “slur filters” aren’t a thing — because they don’t work. Even club penguin couldn’t work it out with 5 year olds and had to have live admins anyways.

      As I said it is meant to dissuade. It isn’t perfect but it’s straightforward to implement and except for a few edge cases it doesn’t cause any hiccups. If you have better solutions, feel free to suggest them to the devs. Just saying something that isn’t that much of an impediment to begin with doesn’t work without suggesting better ways isn’t constructive.
