Is there a list of offensive English words that I can use?

github.com/retextj... is a good place to start, but would need to be whittled down some

content moderation is a hard problem. there's pretrained nlp models on kaggle for detecting hate speech (for some definition of hate speech) -> kaggle.com/c/jigsa...

"I think all censorship should be deplored. My position is that bits are not a bug - that we should create communications technologies that allow people to send whatever they like to each other. And when people put their thumbs on the scale and try to say what can and can't be sent, we should fight back - both politically through protest and technologically through software." -- Aaron Swartz (co-founder of Reddit)

legit question - why use that as your username? To shock people? To signal your beliefs? For the memes? Because your actually believe it? As a demonstration of free speech? Genuinely curious, because it seems to me like it doesn't give you anything other than controversy and attention, which if that's your goal, I guess knock yourself out but expect a lot of (imo deserved) hate

Unbelievable. You seriously think it's funny to use that word, at this point in time? I bet you laughed when you saw Ahmed Arbery lynched in broad daylight. Pathetic. Aww little baby sad that his pRoUd WhItE rAcE is going extinct? Racists like you DESERVE to go extinct.

Save your time and don't bother. Filtered words are already circumvented on other platforms with euphemisms ('jogger' for nigger) or simple character substitutions (e.g. g00k). And as Tyler the Creator famously said, "how the fuck is cyber-bullying real nigga, just look away, just walk away from the screen haha"

That is a good feature. I wonder if the kind of person who puts a slur as their username would eventually be driven off by almost everyone deleting their comments.

I appreciate the agency it affords, but it's tough to see it as anything but an arms race between spamming "good" vs "bad" content

Only if they are used in usernames, as you initially said. Logout, delete, etc. are already invalid as usernames.
