The problem isn't that a city is called asshole-opon-tyne which would be worth changing. It's "Scunthorpe". You can't rename everything that happens to have a subset of the letters in a long word form any of 100 short "offensive" words like ass, butt or cunt. Even when censoring it could make it even worse, most famously the game that censored the player Nasser into N***er.
That shows another part of the problem: the list of offensive words must be multiplied by the number of languages in existence and the number of input terms that risk matching as well.
