Even if it only includes "reasonable" accents, (which I don't see many, nor can I think of many) this feature wouldn't be very befitting of a roleplay environment. Has the potential for straight up racism, too, which is always possible but shouldn't really be encouraged by this, which has no meaningful benefits in comparison.

Denied as this suggestion is written. If someone wants to make another topic suggesting that certain phrases be filtered to sound more military-like, that's acceptable. This one is a no-go, unfortunately.
