[POLL] - Filtering Swear Words


Hi, my name is Sil. And this is the poll that will last for one week to gather many opinions.

I care about accessibility for this heavy-access project, and I want your opinions on what would be the better thing to do for the swear word filter.

Normally, when you play a fangame, unless it has a family friendly option, you get a lot of unhinged dialogue that sometimes ridicules an entire nation, offends a particular group or just expressing pain and annoyance with a lot of F-bombs.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

Do you have any fucking idea how long it took me to get that? I swear to God, you are one of the shittiest human beings I've ever met! You deserve to die for all of your actions, you alcoholic bitch! Fuck off, go to hell!

Yeah, it's not the most friendly, is it? My idea for a swear word filter is to replace obscene language like that, such as in this version:

Do you have any flipping idea how long it took me to get that? I swear to you, you are one of the worst human beings I've ever met! You deserve to lose for all of your actions, you muncher dog! Push off, get lost!

While it still isn't friendly, it is a better alternative. Another alternative I have would be to block out the swears with asterisks (as per standard), but I found that to be lame.

Now I'm torn between the two, and I would like your opinion.

Which one is better?

Word Replacement

I'll wipe you the heck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my blinking words! You think you can get away with saying that trash to me over the Internet? Think again, traitor.

Word Censoring

I'll wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ****ing words! You think you can get away with saying that **** to me over the Internet? Think again, ****er.
