You can't even say "rude". "Rude" is censored. Explain that to me.

If your filter is censoring sentences like "Yeah, map change is per map", because the f**kin filter thinks you're trying to say "sperm", then yes, there is absolutely a problem there that needs to be resolved. I couldn't care less about not being able to swear on in-game chat, but when you end up censoring basic stuff like this, you're almost doing more harm than good.

Please 343, make this filter toggle-able, or at the very least, make your non-toggle-able filter actually usable.

Definitely something the team is working on - my understanding is that this is utilizing a shared platform level service so there's some intricacies and potential hurdles to work through regarding implementation. I do believe this is working more aggressively than intended - but regardless, FWIW I personally would prefer 'on by default' and the option to disable. We'll share more info when we have it.
