"Cougar" is considered profanity

Preparing for the new DLC and wanted to name my zoo "Cougar Crossing"- it was rejected by the profanity filter as is any other name with "Cougar" in it. Might want to fix that now that we are going to have cougars in the game ;)
Weird. There doesn't seem to be any swear words in other languages relating to this
 
So, not a native english speaker here, why is “cougar” even considered a swear world? Never heard of it being used in any demeaning way, unlike a female dog word…which I find highly silly and sexist at the same time but that is not for a forum discussion here.

Well, cougar is slang for an older and attractive woman... which I guess is a problem?

Specifically, a cougar is an older woman who specifically seeks out younger men.

It's never profanity though, however it does have sexist undertones. It's certainly not considered a 'swear word' on the same level as some others in English, so I guess this is a case of Frontier's profanity filter being particularly puritanical.
 
I just realized....does this mean we won't be able to name our habitats cougar either? Because I rename almost all my habitats to whatever animals are in them.

They will likely remove it in this update or the next thanks to feedback. Plus the profanity filter does not apply to habitats, only zoo names
