That's the same thing as saying to use confident instead of assured. Both means the same thing, doesn't mean I don't have a right to use either, so why is it now hard filtered, since you didn't actually answer the question?

Because we decided it's not a word the majority of people are comfortable with. And considering it doesn't hurt anyone by being blocked, but it does hurt people when it's not blocked, it's an easy choice to make.

It definitely hurts me for being blocked since I cannot use my favorite word! Like seriously, I've been using this word on TOS since 2016, if people are snowflakes, they shouldn't be playing this game in the first place.

It's a word man, not a big deal. As much as you apparently love it, it does not mean idiot, they are not the same thing, and a low motor-control game like this one probably has a community with several members who take legitimate offense to that word.

If it's just a word then I don't see the problem with it being filtered, funny enough they unfiltered the word Fine Person of the Female Variety. I wonder why

The n-word is "just a word" too, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be filtered...

Well I am black and I will say it's just a word so.... I won't be offended if a white person called me it.

Luckily for other people, the game nor the word revolve solely around you.

Don't worry madam, you were already out of the convo a while ago. For years I've known you and you still have the same stuck up, arrogant attitude. Sad to see.

With that, that's it for me replying to this post, no point speaking to someone like you. Cheers!

If you're legitimately that upset about not being able to use a word in chat, you're the snowflake. Grow the f up and move on. It's a non-issue.
