Good point. Currently, I've got "kike" as a Spanish dictionary word and also a public figure. Honestly, the job of this API stops there. It tells the platform that this username needs to be handled differently than "randomusername7346783" which has absolutely no value. Now, what we do with this info is really up to admins/platform owners. They could simply do nothing, flag and monitor, charge a premium or block outright. Totally their call but they can now programmatically decide that.
It definitely should be in a list of offensive terms too (and offensive dictionaries by language could be even more useful, telling moderators why it was flagged is valuable).
I see. Will re-run through the categories and the datasets from which I've adopted the names and categories. Maybe either I missed something or it might've not existed in the import in the first place. But noted. Also, thanks :)
