If PureWord in allows the user to replace “shit” by mapping it to “poop” then it allows that same user to map “poop” to “shit”, and by extension “black” to “[not going to write this word]” or “trans|gay|lesbian|jew|palestinian” to “[not going to write those either]”. Sure, I can see convincing oneself that there’s nobility in empowering people to pretend “bad” words don’t exist on the internet, but it seems you’re still empowering people to pretend arbitrary “good” words they don’t like don’t exist either, by replacing them with arbitrary “good” words they do like. Sure, they’ll still be able to mouse over to discover they’re just pretending their personal version of civility has been roughly plastered over their personal version of incivility, I’m just not sure there’s an overall social benefit to that.
