Better to keep it as swearing, hate speech is a part of swearing and changing it to this would be very confusing to have "hateful speech" and "hate speech."

Sorry, but I have to disagree.

I personally agree with the fact that it should get changed, but definitely not to Hateful language or Hateful speech, because not every kind of swearing is hateful. And I think changing it to that makes it even more confusing.

Changing it to Inappropriate language is better in my opinion since that defines everything inappropriate, and not just Swearing or Hateful stuff.
