The profanity filter has gone overboard. The team we've had for the last 4 years, that is associated with twitch, twitter and instagram accounts is now profanity in 2021. I understand the push to get racism and offensive comments out of the game, but you're punishing the 95% of us that don't offend anyone. I've never been contacted about offending someone, so who determined the word reefer is profane?

If your name is being flagged as profane and you would like to request it under review please submit the first and last name you're using here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/My-last-name-says-its-profanity-when-creating-a-player/m-...
If you do not want to provide your real name in public, please comment on the post on which EA Community Manager you've direct messaged it to.
We'll share these examples to the team that handles the filter.
Locking thread to direct everyone to the linked thread above.

OK. How do we get the word Reefer off the banned word list?

I faced the same issue when trying to create an EASHL club. The name of our club has been for the last two versions of the game "Isukin Opetuslapset". This time we are currently unable to have it as the system tells us "text contains profanity" For my knowledge there is no profanity in that name.

the name I want to use is Opila which is my last name but I still don't see what may be wrong with it?

It wouldn't let me use the last name Lemp because of profanity. Lemp is a legit last name that you can find on ancestry.com and is the last name of a kid that was shot by police while sleeping in his home. I want to use it in memory of his murder, and did use it for about 6 months in NHL 20. In NHL 21 they've blacklisted it for some reason.
