Wolfe and his fiancée, who witnessed the alleged assault, believe the attack was related to Wolfe being transgender, according to court documents.

    That’s odd. I don’t remember what word I used there but whatever it was I’d be surprised if it was censorship-worthy. b.i.t.c.h.i.n.g maybe?

      Your instance does filter out the word ‘bitch’, under the stance that it’s commonly used as a gendered slur iirc.

      Which is fine and all but the implementation is utterly context-less word matching.

        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.

            Me too. I just keep forgetting how not worth it it is 🤦🏻😄

        What other context is there beyond sexism?

        The word is complaining. Bitching is a negative connotation about how women complain.
