> the words aren't 'content'.
The words are content. How can you say it isn't content, when the words are what you are trying to guess? Otherwise, why would you be so supportive of censoring them?
> The NYT removed words with foreign roots you might not expect ("pupal" / "agora") in an English language game
Most of the words in the english language have foreign roots. And pupal and agora are words most semi-educated people would know. This justification is worse than my bad analogy.
> as well as several insults which players may also not expect to be in a game without an age rating ("whore" / "pussy" etc.)
How is "whore or pussy" an insult when used in a game? Calling someone that would make it an insult. Otherwise, it is just a word. "oh won't you think of the children" isn't a valid argument and using children to push a political agenda has got to stop. I played scrabble as a kid and whore and pussy are in the scrabble dictionary. So is dick in case you were wondering.
