filter out swear/curse words (abusive language) using an array

I’m making a nextcord bot and I want to implement a filter for swear/curse words. I want all those words in an array which is assigned to a variable (i.E. badwords). My problem is that it says "invalid syntax". Can you help me with this?

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(self, message):
    if "https://discord" in message.content:
        embed = nextcord.Embed(title="**Tu n'as pas le droit d'envoyer des liens d'invitation**")
        log = self.bot.get_channel(916007109424984115)
        logembed = nextcord.Embed(title="Link", description="Quelqu'un a envoyé un lien discord")
        await message.delete()
        await log.send(embed=logembed)
        await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
    badwords = ["list of badwords"]
    elif badwords in message.content:
        log = self.bot.get_channel()
        await message.delete()
        await message.channel.send(embed=embed)

I didn’t do the embedding, neither the log-system for the swear/curse-words.

you have to iterate over the elements of your list. This can be done this way:

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(self, message):
    badwords = ["list of badwords"] #move list declaration over here
    if "https://discord" in message.content:
        embed = nextcord.Embed(title="**Tu n'as pas le droit d'envoyer des liens d'invitation**")
        log = self.bot.get_channel(916007109424984115)
        logembed = nextcord.Embed(title="Link", description="Quelqu'un a envoyé un lien discord")
        await message.delete()
        await log.send(embed=logembed)
        await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
    else:
        if any(badword in message.content for badword in badwords): # check if any badword in message.content 
            log = self.bot.get_channel()
            await message.delete()
            await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
            break # Exit the loop as we don't need to go further

you have 2 mistakes in your code

you are iterating a list over your message.content and you are declaring badwords before your elif statement which is causing if statement to break, so declare it before start of if statement

message = 'curse'

badwords = ['curse'] #declare badwords here
if False:
    pass
elif message in badwords: # iterate your message.content over the badwords list
    print(True)

is the invalid syntax caused by async def? in that case you might want to check your python version is >3.6
