The irony is that "no politics here" is, in itself, a political stance. There's a spectrum here. I'm sure there are words baked into a knitting pattern you would find acceptable, and words you wouldn't. The place where you draw that line is a political decision. And, lets be honest, we both know what online communities are like. If you draw no line at all you'll attract 100 awful people for every principled free speech activist. And if you draw a line, any kind of a line, a proportion of your userbase will spend their time tiptoeing up to it and rules lawyering it for fun. You can't avoid politics being an ongoing issue in any community.
