Does anyone know why "pawn" is considered an offensive word? It seems likely it ranks highly on the offensive word list because of chess engines.

I also noticed "knob" and "xxx" near the top of that list (and others) for which I understand why they are considered "offensive" in some contexts, but in code those are quite non-offensive (unless, of course, the context is offensive, haha).

>>> If someone wants to host the raw files to allow others to download it let me know. It is a 83 GB tar.gz file which uncompressed is just over 1 TB in size.

Anyone knows if it is possible to download similar data set for youtube and reddit? I have ideas for search engine based on it, but I don't want to write/maintain scraper scripts.

I have most of the historical reddit data except ~year I use to train ML models. Let me see if I can find a public link for you...
