Honest question about the language filter.
Why are the words cancer and aids censored? Like are they swear words in this day and age?

well seeing as there is a pretty solid chance that you werent using them in any context that isnt offensive; then yes.
aids, cancer, and suicide, have become a literal joke for young kids as they most likely dont understand the severity of these words.

I find language interesting. We take certain words like "shit" or "ass" and we give them sort of like a tier system with "fuck" being one of the "worst swear words" and then we ban them sort of speak.
The thing is tons of words can be used as in an offensive or rude way.
For example I could call someones new born hideous and they could take great offence to that or I could make a joke about death when someone just said they were dying. Of course 99% of the players in league of legends use "cancer" and "aids" as a way of describing something that they themselves find quite distasteful, for example, "yasuo is cancer", but a player could say, "I have cancer :(" and they could actually be serious. I, personally, believe that there should be no "bad" words as a word only has power if you let it have power. I feel like some people just generally get offended too easily, like calling someone a retard is apparently disrespecting a handicapped person, but in reality its not.
