Censorship is a real problem, but you don’t have to embrace it. That’s just making the problem worse.
Its to avoid being censored actually. I think we get their gist when we are missing one letter. Depends on which platform that determines if it’s pointless or not but who cares.
If you’re gonna self censor then just use a different word. Self censoring is still caving in to censorship in general. Either say the full word uncensored or pick a different word. Anything else is just annoying to read.
Why the fuck would that matter lol.
Ideas are being censored by filtering words so if the idea comes across then its the same thing.
Sorry for cursing.
If you can’t say ‘fuck’, you can’t say ‘fuck David Cameron with a piece of slightly undercooked broccoli’

I agree, I don’t like all the self censorship that I think comes about from algorithms like tiktok - I’m not talking about ideas, but instead about literal words replacement censorship like “unalive” “seggs” and that like
I want people to be bold enough to use the real word - at least in irl conversation.
It feels way too much like Orwell’s Newspeak
Exactly! I hate how corporations get to control our language now and people just fall in line with it.

I always use hard Rs, don’t you worry.
Personal censorship has been around for a long time. People have always avoided saying things that others might view as weird or repulsive.
The true change is that everyday conversation is more monitored now than it ever has been before.
We have let insipidly authoritarian technology into our lives in an intimate way.
And I say fuck on work calls
Funny, I say fuck work
I actually fuckin l*ve it
It doesn’t make much sense anyway. You try to take away the power a word has or make it so it’s not readily available, but that just makes me wonder more about it.
“The f word? Which f word?”
“Why did they put an asterisk to hide ‘abuse’?”
“F*cker” - great censoring. Nobody will ever be able to tell what that word was.

People who speak up get fucked… Game 101.
While some people don’t mind that FAFO, cast majority are not willing to get dicked by their social circle, school and employer over having annoying “opinions” like getting paid a fair wage
