What does Scratch consider bad words?

So, one day i came across a studio telling me to comment random stuff in the comments, and I did. I basically just typed up a bunch of random letters. There was one saying “fu”. Just “fu”. Well, the next day, to my shock, I got a message from the Scratch Team telling me to use appropriate language. The message? The one where I typed “fu”. That was absolutely ridiculous!
Can someone give me more info on this?

Typing just f and u has a meaning, even if that’s not what you intended. Someone probably saw it and reported

To add:

Despite being it accidental, it was probably misinterpreted. I guess you could've gotten away if there were other characters as well though so that it would serve as merely spam.

Kinda like how procedural generation can cause issues sometimes.

i get your confusion. i had an issue like yesterday when writing project instructions. its quite weird how the bad word detector is crazy, and also quite unsmart.
