I understand your reasoning but I can't subacribe it.

A word is a word. A word becomes an insult if it is used against someone, with that specific intent.

I specifically used the quotation marks because I wanted to convey the understanding that I was putting the words out with no connection to anything.

Writing on a social media outlet feels more and more like walking through a trap field. Cryptic acronyms, forbidden and self censored words and redacted sentences.

This is the worst kind of censorship I can think of. It blocks the person and others from fully expressing ideas and thoughts and preassigns a default judgement towards who is trying to convey an argument.

The best way to void a word - especially if an insult - is to ignore it. Don't use it, ignore it in others speech, attack the use of it as an insult.

Self censoring is not a good thing.

Honestly I wanted to be edgy but been trained that I'll get auto moderated if I just type it out.

Also people really do be thinking you are racist if you type out a word (or recite a song lyric) from a different point of view.

In other words, it's a no win scenario.
