This repo is a work-in-progress and a repository of really, really offensive and triggering words. It helps power Their Words. Seriously, if you have a problem seeing and reading racist/ableist/misogynist/queerphobic/etc. words and phrases, this repository is not for you.
I built this tool because I know a lot of us frequently have to weigh-in daily on whether or not a recent follow is someone you want hanging around your profile. Their Words lets you quickly access a Twitter advanced search query that hunts for these phrases. Again, you’ll potentially be exposed to lots of bad stuff on their profile if they’re being a shitheel online, so proceed to use it with caution.
If you have any problems with the tool, ping me at @furioursus on Twitter! If you have suggestions for the terms file, submit a pull-request or let me know what you want to add.
If you want to submit more terms for addition to the list, fork this repo, modify the ./terms.json
file and send me a pull request.
