Very good interface font that can automatically filter racist words.


There is a very good font out now, this can filter racist words automatically. This can be used as an interface font with your Gnome or MATE desktop or with your browser, and triggering words will be automatically filtered by the font. This is amazing. It could be used on a website, it works fine as an interface font. Racist names for files and folders are automatically filtered. I guess those who are triggered by bad words can hide from them by filtering them out. But this is a good way to enjoy the Internet and not be bothered by words that degrade trans and gay people. It is awesome that someone put the effort into creating this. Firefox should have this as an option to filter hate speech to a degree. Then everyone would be happy, just filter the bad words and enjoy the Internet. Instead of changing it for everyone else, just filter out the bad words in the browser, that way, the people who do not want to see them and are upset by those words can hide them and be happy. There are downloads here: https://www.thepolitetype.com/. Put this font file in the ~/.fonts directory and then choose it in the fonts dialog for the user interface. This works perfectly on Ubuntu MATE.

A great step forward for inclusiveness and diversity. Now hateful speech can be less of a bother. There is also a HOWTO and a PHP example of how to deploy this on a web site to automatically change hateful words. There is also an Excel spreadsheet containing all substitutions and a *.csv file as well. I guess implementing this as a WordPress plugin is not impossible. The website has a very good feature allowing this to be tested live by typing in a text field. So give this a go, and maybe it would work very well on your website. This is better than other filtering methods. It works on the interface as well as in a web browser. It renamed my Rubbish icon to Rub female dog. That is pretty funny.
