It is right now, in a few games you can report people for using slurs in voice chat at which point it's saved for review. In some cases the reporter gets some kind of reward for actioned reports.
However, this is only in the largest games. Gaming is now one of if not the most valuable media industries out there and only growing, however there are still a lot of niche games where either for cultural or demand reasons there's zero interest in censorship. Go check Wargame Red Dragon global chat for instance.

That doesn't mean that those words aren't curse words. In fact, it's a sign that they are curse words. It wouldn't be so edgy to say them if they weren't so heavily frowned upon by "polite society"
- some_random 2y agoOh to be clear I'm not arguing that they're not curse words at all, in fact the increased censorship in high profile spaces like popular video games is evidence they are curse words.
