(2) Requires an engine update (currently going through repo hell atm if you are on-top of the MP re-write)

(3) Requires a database website-side update (I've been told it's impossible currently but it's more likely that there are multiple road blocks here where if done incorrectly, would cause another 2018 score purge so there's mostly fearmongering here).

Hence the workaround of just using an [Explicit] tag since that's a relatively simple text edit that doesn't require multiple devs and screaming ape noises.

It would just be easier to add the "Explicit" tag to any song with one of the "gamer" words, and leave the rest alone. I'd further concede the idea that maybe removing them from public ranks is a path the site can take to make dodging those works avoidable for those who want to, but anything further would be heinous overkill.

Though, I'd probably add Slashmaid to the list just because of the type of song it is, and TBH that being played with no knowledge, I can see the issues that might come up given folks stream the game, or play without headphones on. (In case someone is reading this and are unaware - a girl is getting just fucked throughout the whole song with some rock / metal elements in the background. It's a weird piece. It might be bannable on a streaming site if it got brought up to them.)

tldr I just wanna say I think the guy suggesting the other changes rn is being silly. But maybe taking a site consensus to which songs deserve the tag might be more productive.
