I mean, there is a hard coded word filter which doesn't allow you to use the scientifically correct term for a female dog. Which is pretty wild.
This actually hasn't been true for several patches now. The slur filter is no longer hard-coded, but instead is customizable on an instance-to-instance basis. This change sure doesn't stop people from complaining about the (nonexistent) "hard-coded slur filter" though!
