"inappropriate" words
so, I know the gallery notifies you when you've written an inappropriate word in either the description, sim name, or the household name, but I've come across two that are questionable... "Master."...

"Master." I made a circus family, and the father is the ringmaster, so I named him "Master Osvaldo." whenever I save that family, I get prompted that I won't be able to share the family, and it actually took me awhile to figure out that "master" could be the only word close enough to inappropriate
That is ridiculous.
Master is the correct term of address for a boy. Master Alexander Goth.
Historically, the term is used to address someone who is a skilled tradesman, such as a blacksmith, baker, tailor, etc.
And there's also use of the term for the person in charge of a school: Headmaster.
I think they need to fire the person who decided what words are inappropriate.
Unfortunately, we live in the world of delicate little snowflakes where there are too many people who are easily offended. I see the word Master in a title I think either they are into some uh rather adult things (can I word it that way here) or I think of it is a formal way to address a boy or a male who is the head of a household or top of their trade such as blacksmith, ironworker, electrician etc. My dad is a retired Master Ironworker. I remember him as an apprentice and seeing him work hard to get to where he was once he retired a while back. There is nothing racist or inappropriate about his title at all. He earned it every step of the way. Headmaster in charge of a school. In the game, you have Master Vampires as a rank for the vampires. You have Grandmasters in ninjitsu.
You have some people who will see the word Master or Mistress and think of it in a subject of an adult manner or they think of it in a negative way where people are victims of human trafficking. Some people might think you as being racist just for such a title too. Especially if they are of a particular race or ethnicity for your sim.
I agree they need to fire the person who thinks of what words are inappropriate should be fired or at least be shamed and put in the corner to think about what they had done.
