...genuinely don't know what it's supposed to be

[Mari co pa] county, most populoused county in Arizona. It's just getting picked up by the filter on accident.

I think it's hilarious that the filter picks it up. I hope that never gets changed

ty ty, it does sound familiar, that's with the super racist sheriff guy who got pardoned right?

Yeah uh Arpiao or something like that. It's also where a bunch of the more unhinged stop the steal people are from, showing up to polling places strapped and whatnot.

Also also the reason the slur filter picks it up is that first half is a kind of Venezuelan Spanish slur for gay men, so that answers that question as well. IDK if it has other connotations than that.

Based on my two seconds of googling, seems the first part of that county's name is a slur in Spanish, so it's probably being picked up on purpose (and our site has a pretty simplistic filter which honestly I love as a bit).

it is by far the most populated county in the state so it makes sense
