Unless the game procedurally generates the words from a dictionary

I’m not much of a coder, but even if they’re doing something procedural, it can and should still have a blacklist.

If I’m writing a blacklist for slurs, I’m not thinking of archaic words like “griffe”. I’m just making sure it doesn’t use anything that would be used in a modern context.
