I have had continuous problems with the profanity filter flagging words in the description for numerous households which were eventually fix when reported to the filter's feedback survey, however one household's description keeps getting flagged for the hashtags LGBTQ and Bisexual despite newly shared items being shared on the same day as I try to upload
the full description is as follows;
#Roomies #Latino #Hispanic #Handsome #Student #YoungAdult #SerialRomantic #Romantic #Active #Bro #Cute #Pretty #MusicalGenius #Creative #MusicLover #Loner #LGBTQ #Bisexual #Ginger #RenaissanceSim #LovesOutdoors #ActiveRoomies
furthermore while trying to test if changing the "offending" hashtags would be accepted if I changed them to all lowercase, more words became flagged beginning with Latino and Hispanic until all the hashtags were deleted
so in summery, I'm getting words flagged that shouldn't be, I seem to be the only one for whom these words are being flagged and I am having to waste time finding out which words the filter is flagging because it doesn't even tell you what words are triggering it!
It's a problem that has been cropping up for several months, the beginning of which appears to coincide with the introduction of the new profanity filter, at least that I am aware of, yet there does not look to be any effort by EA to rectify the problem other than the survey which is now no longer active
has anybody found a way around this issue? (I have no mods installed)

I made two Sims and wanted to post them to the gallery but then I suddenly got the message that it supposedly contains a disallowed word? What I wrote was:
Those are the parents of two of my creepypasta OCs: Ethan Nestor & Olivia Nestor (they are twins)! They're not born yet obviously so I might post them too when they're born xD #creepypasta #oc #slenderman #slenderverse #KellyNestor #RobertNestor #EthanNestor #OliviaNestor #jeffthekiller #homicidalliu #ticcitoby #american #americans #parents #americanparents
The hashtags aren't the problem, I already tried it without the hashtags and I still got that message

I've been trying to use trial and error to discover which word is a banned word on the gallery from this description, but I'm at a loss. I've removed everything I thought could be inflammatory one at a time, and none of them were the flagged word. Please, help!
"I designed this shell originally for HihelloRachel on my 2022 Shell-a-thon! #shellathon2022 #thrallredeems The shell then became home for a Sim on my Interactive Asylum Challenge - Season 2 who was made by Sebbymama ... As part of their reward for getting to Phase 3, I custom-furnished this house for them and their family! Done all in Pride colors in honor of the sim! #thrallsasylum"

I think it's all the h*ll in red.

I removed all the hells/shells, and it STILL won't post. I've changed nearly every word, and no go. I'm nearing the end of my patience.

It's the s in "thrallsasylum" .... which is a tag I've been using for years. Removed the s... and it went up fine.
