don't allow non-specified pronouns #15

Closed itslevir closed 2 years ago

itslevir commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug in the case that pronouns are unspecified in pronouns.json, this package will simply allow any pronouns, meaning people can do things like this

or this

which for projects such as a social media platform that has a pronoun field such as TikTok or Insta, won't work because it could be easily abused.

Expected behavior Restrict pronouns to the ones specified in pronouns.json Additional context I'd be happy to write a PR fixing this. I'd just like to make sure this is something the maintainer(s) are willing to do before doing so.

Hi, thank you for your concern but I am not going to do that. There are so many different pronouns people use for themselves that limiting them to a predefined set defeats the purpose of this project, which is to be open and inclusive.

understood, maybe add a blocklist of words such as "f**k," however? because I can only see it being abused in that way. just a suggestion

I'll consider it!
