Racial slur widely used in gallery

While browsing the gallery I came across an extremely unpleasant discovery... The word filters that are in place (and at times, even filter completely mundane language) can not filter for a well know...

    Hey all,

    I've merged these threads together to prevent spam. This issue was re-escalated to the Sims team for investigation on Thursday, we are currently evaluating how best to address this issue with the gallery and how content filters and flags are implemented.

    This is one of those things that I may not have updates on for a while as we're dealing with several departments at the moment, but silence ≠ nothing being done.

Yeah there are a few racist terms I wish were banned from Gallery too. I am tri-raced myself and my empathy goes out to Jews since my minor Christian religion has a history of oppression too, so I am all for having options and honestly a better way to report and flag offensive posts too. One of my friends has been trying to get Jewish foods into the game too and making some amazing foods to show the Gurus. I think whole Gallery needs a much needed upgrade anyway, so better filtering system would be nice to find different cultures in the Gallery too. I don't like the algorithm it is currently using likes and number of downloads because there are so many amazing content creators that don't get featured as much.

I think I know who your friend is and I think we follow each other on Twitter. I hope we do get more Jewish foods. I also saw people asking for a Jewish wedding arch. I can't remember the name. But I wish mws represented more cultures.

    @kaiwryplays  If you google for the Judaism Stuff Pack by PandoraSims, she has a chuppah (Jewish wedding canopy) that I used in my Wedding venues. There's also a glass wrapped in a napkin to step on that gives you a happy moodlet! <3

      Yes I think I saw that stuff pack and I thought they could have added the stomping glass as a wedding tradition in mws and just use the animation for playing in puddles. I didn't get the stuff pack tho because I rather get an in game Maxis version but thanks for the recommendation. I'm not Jewish but I love the addition of new cultures because I like having my sims represent a certain culture because I get to try new things lol.

        @kaiwryplays  TBH I’d rather have in-game, official assets myself, even though the CC is awesome, because it would be official and supported. But if I need CC to represent myself, I’ll do it.
