Revision for banned words list on servers

On java servers recently, a new system was added that removes banned words from chat and signs. The issue is that some words such as "furry" don't belong in this list, as it prevents the furry community from expressing themselves inside the game. This would be like blacklisting the words "gay" or "homosexual" from the game because some people use it as insults. While I know that the intention of blacklisting the word "furry" was to stop people from being hateful against furrys, it harms the furry community as well. Other blacklisted words like "hoe" are also problematic, considering that it's literally the name of a tool. I would suggest either revising the blacklisted words or coming up with a new system that detects how words are being use (e.g, hoe can be used to describe the tool, but can't be used hatefully.) For a game that's all about inclusivity, banned words like "furry" are just absurd. Please change something.
