Censored Words
I was wondering why a certain word that most poeple use interchangably with “gender” was censored. True, it does sometimes mean a bad thing, but sometimes it is what a person is anatomically. It is a different thing from gender, so sometimes the word-that-I-can't-use-but-should NEEDS to be used, and gender cannot be. So it needs to not be censored, I think. Although honestly they should be two different words altogether.

Well, it can be used in other ways, so as a result, it has to be censored.

No, efg1210 is saying that since we can report posts which use the word in an inappropriate way, we should allow the word to be said.It can be used. Are you clicking it?Well, it can be used in other ways, so as a result, it has to be censored.There is a report button, why can't that be used?

Oh. I still disagree. Imagine the five-year-olds asking their parents what it means once they've seen it on Scratch.No, efg1210 is saying that since we can report posts which use the word in an inappropriate way, we should allow the word to be said.It can be used.

No support. By your logic, we should remove censoring since the comment(s) can be reported.

Yep. This is basically the flaw in the logic.

I agree, we should remove censoring.
That is a REALLY bad idea… The filter is there to help minimize reports, not make more.

I agree, we should remove censoring.No, I do not think all censoring should be removed AT ALL. I simply think that this one word should not be censored.

NOCan you please say why? It is not helpful (not to mention a bit rude) to only say “NO.”

If you mean S*x, I don't see why it's important to share what genitals you have on Scratch?
