	How... special. Apparently they're doing substring checking, because you can't search for "hostpice" (contains 'spic'). CRAZY STUPID. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Anything with "spicy" or "spice" gets caught in that filter. Like Spice Girls. That made me laugh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm really glad I didn't keep my Diaryland name when I moved to LJ, then, it had "spice" in it. I'd be unfindable! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Despite my knowledge of how complicated coding something like this would be, I find the idea that the Spice Girls are worse than Nazis hysterical. Boy, if I'd only known what my little cousin used to be into. (Reply to this)

	At least when JF blocks "speciali$t" it's to avoid spam, not discussion of offensive shit (pro or con). (Reply to this)

	Huh, here I thought I know all 78 journals LJ-staff uses for announcements, and yet I somehow I missed their announcement for this. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	On one hand, I loathe the Spice Girls. On the other, I want to express my desperate love for my bottle of Sriracha Sauce. This is. So. Hard. sob (Reply to this)

If they're trying to keep racists from finding each other and congregating on LJ, I can understand not allowing searches for things like "spic" (though they implemented it in a moronic way). But why disallow searching for "genocide"? I'm finding it doubtful that racists would list "genocide" as an interest. They'd be a lot more likely to list something like "a white world" or "a white planet". Hmmm, searching LJ interests shows that there aren't any matches for those, but still, someone who actually supported genocide is pretty unlikely to phrases their interest as "genocide".

	Not only that, but they can always implement a code-interest to bypass the system (i.e. "fluffy bunnies") (Reply to this)(Parent)
