    I’d argue that it’s NOT fine, since the only POSSIBLE way to automatically filter out specific words instance-wide IS context-less word matching.

    With one or two obvious exceptions, no word is offensive regardless of context, and draconian censorship like that is classic authoritarian overreach that does no good and a hell of a lot of bad.

    Tl;dr: algorithmically assuming the worst possible use of a word is a cunty thing to do.

      Yeah.

      There was a hidden asterisk on my “that’s fine and all”.

      This comment carries no rebuttal to your point.

      I just have better things to do with my day than invite commentary from .ml, generally speaking.
