Most of the words on the profanity list are in common use in polite company these days. If the goal is to identify hate speech and sexual speech, doesn't there need to be a semantic component. I wonder why a profanity filter is needed--what is the use case?
- vzhou842 8y agoHey, author here. I run a couple web games that allow in-game chat between players. One of the biggest complaints from players is that some people like to troll and spam post racial slurs / hate speech / threats. I wanted the profanity detection so I could just filter out the most egregiously profane messages and potentially kick/ban players who continue trying to send obviously profane messages.
