this was probably made for posting on insta, youtube or some other shit platform thats to cowardly to call the things by their name. "advertisers don't like it when we talk about (insert something violence or sex related)". people will come up with the most unhinged words just to avoid having to deal with social media censorship.

Yeah, I understand the reasons. I just hate that people have decided to put up with this shit rather than leave those platforms. If a platform is censoring your posts for saying "die" or "vagina", then that should be a sign that it's time to abandon that platform. Yet people remain there and we end up with this complete wank.

it’s hard to have the same reach when you limit yourself to niche platforms tho. like sure, PinkNews could post exclusively to Pixelfed/PeerTube and not have to deal with censorship.

they’d also have to contend themselves with 12 followers… a hard pass when you’re a news org
