Remove censorship for B L A C K / N E G R O word!

[elendil093]

Hi dear Steam, I know probably you won't answer me, but I would like to ask you, why do you censor the N E G R O word? I mean, at first, this is just a color, and yes, it has a lot of meanings, but most (for not saying all of them) are good and positive. I know there are still a few racist people in the world, but even when you call someone n e g r o , here in Latin America, that's a friendly way to call someone, nobody get offended here because you call him/her like that, at least that you mean to offend that person, but in that case we could say the same for any other existent word... I can call my friend as White, Fat, Tall, Redhead, and any word, and these are normal words with no bad meaning, at least you're in a certain context and have bad intentions.

Sorry if I have any grammar error in a post where I'm talking about words, I'm not native english speaker, but I just want to be clear about it, it's nonsense that you censor the b l a c k word, I have to see all those hearts all the time hidding words, when people is usally talking about a b l a c k screen, about a game based in cine n e g r o (film noir), or whatever, about everything except about racism. And yes, again, even when we call someone n e g r o or n e g r i t o (that means little b l a c k), that's a friendly way to call someone.

Probably you (Steam) will ignore this because you don't want to commit about this kind of things, but it would be nice if you say that you'll think about it at least, I would like to know your opinion about it. Thanks.

Let your comment if you also think this words should be allowed without censorship.

It is too commonly used to try to bypass the filter to be racist. It isn't going to be removed from the filter.

Turn off the filter yourself in the preferences settings by adding this \pL+ to the list of "Never filter these words."

No

Feel free to disable the word filter on your side though.
