The vast majority of people who play this mod are in the range of 16 years old, and I think the youngest person on the wiki is around 11. It really doesn't matter. The chance of a 6 year old playing this mod is unlikely, and it's also not garunteed that they would encounter an NPC saying this. It's like saying that "because there is one Christian family in a town, everyone needs to convert". (No offense to all you Christians, this is hypothetical oc) My 8 year old brother plays this mod, and I certainly know I wouldn't want him to see that in a game, and neither would my parents. I especially find this concerning because my brother is particularly interested in Dale. Lucky for him, I don't have to power to tell him he can't play Minecraft the only way he plays it (with LOTR). Obviously, my parents are a much different story. So rather than remove one word that people shouldn't be objected to the removal of, because of how unimportant it is to the gameplay other than realism that can easily be achieved just the same by other words (words that aren't questionable), the verdict is that my 8 year old brother might just happen to have that quest up as one of my parents walk by and see the word in question -and we all know that such words are the ones that stick out to us right away- and now he can't play the mod anymore, because of the content that could have been easily removed and replaced with a word just as realistic. So no, it's much more complicated than this. It's more like saying "You guys are all infected with a bacteria except this small batch of people, but the virus is really easily with antibiotics so you can't harm the healthy people." (Not saying that the word is like a bacteria, or that you are sick for not wanting it removed. Nor is this the best analogy, but I think you get the point.)
