I think every single combination of syllables means something bad in
some language.
How do we deal with this? Personally I'd deal by not picking the fight.
The word for "shirt" in swedish is the same as the insulting word for
"prostitute" in italian. (I know several examples, I entertain my
swedish friends with the topic).

Yes but they are normally not members of debian and are well out of
the community team, so you can only decide on the data itself, not the
person.

This is not a one dimensional thing unfortunately. There's a number of
variables one might feel differently about.

I'm not drafting anything. I'm on vacation. I had planned to do that
in a few months.
Debian has a number of games that involve violent death in one form or
another. Since we are on a quest to remove any such content, are we
planning to get rid of most of the games?
Is clicking on representations of living beings causing their death
less violent than a violent text? For me it is more violent as there
is an active action.
Or are we going the USA movie classification where nudity/sex are
completely forbidden while violence is completely ok (as long as no or
very little blood is shown, of course).
I think we should really consider what it means to approve a very
restrictive guideline on what debian can contain.
