No? Especially not in my case where it’s a share artefact that is intended to be shared with others on various platforms.

Having my game aesthetic + slur on a sharing artefact is a great way for people to think my game encourages that crap and to “cancel” the game.

Not that I agree with, or care about, cancel culture - but I don’t want people in general associating my game with slurs.

I’m all for swearing and saying funny things that are not pc, but I draw the line at harmful offensive content.

Do what you wish but do no harm unto others.

I get the desire to moderate your game, but how are words 'harmful' exactly? Especially random, throwaway internet spew. Harmful to your game's reputation, maybe. But to the people?
