Discord.js V12 Rude words filter not working

so I am adding like a rude words filter, whenever someone says that word (lowercase or uppercase) it deletes their message and replies back with something and then the reply gets deleted in a few seconds.

Here's my current code, but it doesn't read the rudeWords and doesn't do anything when I write any of the rude words in the chat.

client.on('message', message => {
    if (message.author.bot) return;
    let rudeWords = ["kys", "kill yourself"];
    if (message.content.toLowerCase() === rudeWords) {
        message.delete()
        message.reply('do not use that word here, thank you.').then(msg => {
        msg.delete({ timeout: 3000 })
    })
}})

rudeWords is an array, not a string so you can't compare message.content to rudeWords by checking if they're equal, instead, you need to use includes()

client.on('message', message => {
    if (message.author.bot) return;
    let rudeWords = ["kys", "kill yourself"];
    if (rudeWords.includes(message.content.toLowerCase())) {
        message.delete()
        message.reply('do not use that word here, thank you.').then(msg => {
        msg.delete({ timeout: 3000 })
    })
}})
