Why is it that video games and streaming services like Netflix don't have profanity filters? Has anyone attempted it and how could it be achieved?

Forge of the Fae just hits all the right notes. Everything I've seen makes me want it.
You know of all the issues you'll find people support and stand behind. This ain't gonna be one.
There are a lot more pressing issues need fixing sooner than a few curse words.
I have would have no problem with giving customers more options like being able to turn off language that you don't like.
I could be wrong, but being completely honest I don't think it would be hard to implement into games too.
Maybe because something that's meant to be viewed and played by adults don't need it? If you can't handle a few f bombs then perhaps watch a kids show or something.
Oh great somebody woke posting. You understand there is warning label on games telling you if it is rated E, T, M, or even R....nobody expects to play GTA with filters come on now use your brain
Because it's a case of if you do this you will stiffle the artistic integrity of the team that worked hard on it. If you don't like swearing there are plenty of options for you but don't think you'll ever be able to boot up a game of GTA or a Quentin Tarantino movie and have a smut free experience.
I'm a parent to I don't want to expose my kids to swearing I don't think they are old enough to handle it but the last thing I want is a profanity filter on media content I want to experience rdr2 with swearing in tact not a watered down Disney version life is hard most games depict swearing appropriately in my eyes.
As a parent I simply use the available parental controls and everyone is happy little ones are not exposed and when they are in bed the content I want to view and play is at my fingertips.
There's been some research into ai that can block slurs in online play and that's one thing constant abuse from a real person directed at you is way worse than Samuel Jackson talking about big Mac's in France.
Tv did it for years as the article stated well that's not quite right maybe tv works different where I love but some extremely graphic scenes might be cut from scarface as an example overall swearing is in the movie still but most made for tv content is not interesting and with the rise of Netflix and HBO podcasting and decline of tv and radio most people agree they don't want a commercialised tv experience anymore.
