> It's a sign of the times with how used tech companies are to 'softly' moderating societal trends by unilaterally tweaking the software that everyone uses.

Unfortunately a vocal minority of users can be an absolute pain in the ass about this stuff and it's easy enough to just add a "bad words" list to satisfy the pearl clutchers and move on.

I once worked on some enterprise software that generated random alphanumeric passwords for new accounts. One day a customer filed a ticket complaining that her password contained the string "cunt". The tone of the ticket strongly implied that this was a deliberate insult on our part.

I don't know what delusions of grandeur are required to think that a software company has implemented a unique fuck-this-person-in-particular code path lying in wait to be sprung upon you should you ever sign up for their service, but needless to say, we just rolled our eyes and added the filter.

I hope you also gave the user a stern warning about not revealing details of their password again!
