I have a solution for that. The more a person says "faggot" the more images of men kissing they see in the game. A homophobic 13-year-old would be totally horrified by this whereas a reasonable adult that (somehow) didn't use the word as an insult wouldn't care.



> A homophobic 13-year-old

Do you seriously think 13-year-olds are homophobic? They just repeat what their peers say like parrots. It doesn't really matter to them what it means as long as it sounds offensive and they can pronounce it.


If peer influence is the cause the perceived shame of viewing men kissing will have the same effect.

Also what I presented is not a serious solution to kids acting like jerks. Kids would just invent new words to get around a filter like that.

They need some kind of JerkRank algorithm to allow players to rate other players and machine learn what kind of people are compatible to game with each other.
