    Can we please FUCKING stop censoring SHIT words like FUCK, or RAPE, or whatever?

    Just write what you want to write. If you feel the need to crawl into a fetus position under your bed when you see any of these words then maybe put some space between yourself and the Internet. Go touch grass, live happy! Just stop being so… Childish?

      i think people who make this argument generally take the whole thing a little too seriously. at this point i’ve started censoring fuckwords in memes bc i think it’s funny that it seems to upset some folk so much.

        The irony is the woke people weren’t the ones asking for DEI or genderless bathrooms. It was the retards forcing people to resort to “seggs” instead of sex. “Unalive” instead of kill and “unhoused” instead of homeless and can go on and on. It’s fucking dumb lol.

          the original impetus behind that censorship comes from social media and content providers. it seeped into the public lexicon from there.

          it wasn’t some organized effort by people you don’t like, that’s a silly thing to think.

            I dunno’, I don’t like advertisers, and they’re organized, so it definitely was organized by people many don’t like. Just not the people the other guy is pointing fingers at.
