Cracker can be a derogatory term for a Caucasian person. In the same sense that the "N Word" is a derogatory term for a person of African descent.

Although, It's a bit of a stretch for the swear filter IMHO.

Similarly "stretchy," heaven forbid that someone named Richard wants to use his nickname. I mean, I know a lot of people didn't like Vice President Cheney, but I think we can all agree that at the very least his name isn't profanity. Not to mention even in an "inappropriate" context I'd rate that one at about a 2/10 on the offensiveness meter.

Gotta say, words with very common non-curse meanings that are only minimally offensive in the first place, like either of those two examples, should really be removed from the filter as far as I'm concerned.

is it just me or is it ironic that a game that starts you out butt naked and has quest dialouge that of a mature 13+ year old has a language filter =/ if someones saying something you don't like you simply ignore the person. I personally disagree with this rule and hope it eventually gets taken out. But i will abide.
