Blacklist terms conflict

Put this in the blacklist terms
/( (\w))+sex( (\w))+/g

Or simpler: /\bsex\b/i
Here's a good RegExp reference if you need an explanation.

there are 4 pride emotes that have "sex" in them: AsexualPride IntersexPride PansexualPride BisexualPride, is there a way to only allow "sex" to be used in these emotes and no other context? Because right now, people can just type "sex" and put a random letter behind or in front to bypass the filter. ty

There is no whitelist, so no, either you only block "sex" as a word itself, or you block any word containing the subword "sex" in it, there's no way to detect if it's part of an allowed word or if characters are just added to bypass the blacklist, that would be possible if their was a whitelist along the blacklist.

Try this:

/sex(((?!ualpride).)*$|\b)/i

I tried it, and it didn't work

I think @Quirky Fox is on the right track though! I didn't think of using ?!... 🤔

Don't make things so complicated, this should work just fine:

/sex(?!ualpride|pride)/i

It didn't work, I tried something like
/(sex)[^up]+/gi and /([^ainr]+sex)/gi
to block stuff that didn't have the letters "a, i, n, or r" before the word "sex" and the letters "u and p" immediately after. It kinda worked, but was still able to be easily bypassed

If someone is actively trying to bypass it have you considered just banning said person(s)?

That's weird because I did test it with a sentence containing all the emotes you're trying to allow and "sex" and variations of it such as "sexy" or like "aaasexbbb" and it did detect all the words containing "sex" in it, but not the emotes... 🤔

You can see it working here, I made a small example.
