Why is s-e-x in the swear filter?

I've seen a lot of things get trapped by swear filters, but sex has never been one of them.

This seems like a rather arbitrary decision.

Luckily, I have a ton of completely inappropriate alternatives for the word "sex".

Like "gender". Three more letters. Totally inappropriate, wasting all of those electrons.

The word is ******. Give me an F. Give me an L. give me an A. Give me an N. Give me a G. Give me an E. What's that spell? ******. What's that spell? F-L-A-N-G-E.
Amazing! Truely amazing!

With this new software, when the censor filters got turned on, the default filters were used. I'm not sure why flange is even in there at all. There are several others that really don't need filtering, and a few that need to be added.

For another day or so, until the filters get tweaked and updated. But it's probably best to keep the language civil regardless of whether the filters catch it or not.
