what words are banned from TV
<|assistant|>
Few words have been explicitly banned from television shows and commercials, but there are words that are rarely used to avoid offending viewers. Words such as “retarded,” “suicide,” “deaf,” “dumb,” and “mental illness” are often avoided in mainstream programming to prevent causing offense to viewers. Similarly, many shows and commercials will use euphemistic substitutes for sexual activities such as “making love” rather than “sex.” Additionally, the usage of racial slurs or any other derogatory language that might be seen as promoting discrimination has been virtually eliminated from TV content.
