Maybe have the comment filter censor ALL slurs

“Psycho” is an ableist slur and therefore the filter should censor it in comments and stuff.


Edit: Psycho is an ableist slur because it dehumanizes and demonizes people who are psychotic (and I've heard that psycho also means psychopathy, but the term psychopathy is outdated, but psychopathy shares symptoms with antisocial personality disorder)

With the way the filter works, this also might end up with many false positives from people talking abt Psychology since it doesn't detect spaces and can trigger even if the bad word is part of a good word (Ex: In class, we had an assignment)

Also usually discussion abt filter changes would go to Contact us to avoid inappropriate discussion.

No support
There's a slur I can't say (in the context of the slur), but it's the name of a snack
There's no way to detect context unless it's like “give me your address”
So if someone says “i like saltine crackers” they would get flagged. Also like ChristianScratcher1 said, use Contact Us for things like this
