If you want to use the word in a context where it might be an exception you can put them in quotes: "blind".

Raddle won't become "like Reddit" by censoring notifying users that their language might be hurtful.

Single quotes too?

'blind'

No double ones only. I could change that though.

And what if there's a space between the word and the quote?

"Stupid people" isn't nice

That also doesn't work, also no whitespace is allowed, really only "word" is allowed. Of course anything can be changed but there should be a good reason for that.

Sure that's no problem.

That might be a bit hard, like the XKCD (nice), but not impossible.

I did consider this before but I also feel like it defeats the purpose of the bot a bit.

I think f/shoplifting is a completely different crowd than the rest of the site and there's no way a social justice bot made for the f/anarchism crowd can also work on a liberal / apolitical forum. f/shoplifting would need their own bot that would only pop up when tos-violating slurs like "retard" and "cunt" or worse are used. They're not going to stop saying "dumbass" and "blindspot" no matter how many times the bot tells them to. They're not here to work on their politics.

I've noticed you used the ableist word "dumb" in your comment, please refrain from doing so.
Consider instead: dense, ignorant, lacks understanding, impulsive, risk-taker, uninformed, silly, foolish (to replace metaphor); nonspeaking, nonverbal, person with a speech impairment, person with a cognitive disability, Deaf person, hard of hearing person (to refer to a Deaf or disabled person)

Discussion about the words here.

This bot needs a lot of work still.

This happens when it's banned, I really need to fix that but I don't have time for that today I'm afraid.
