A writer here wrote about swearing and improper/offensive language.

I wrote about how my aunt sent us these dolls (I was seven at the time) and they were named *****. The word meant nothing to me. Just think an offensive term for people of colour.

That was flagged as inappropriate.

I replied and said that had a human read what I had said, it was far from offensive, and asked what exactly I should do.

No answer.

Today I asked if a bot had picked up the word by chance.

Like you, I was so close to walking away. It still bothers me.
