What the fuck is going on with all the goddamned self-censorship online? It’s so shitty and depressing to see people proactively capitulate to these damn cunts and cocksuckers in power. Really pisses me off.
D’oh, forgot tits…
People have developed their habits from posting to popular social sites that have heavy handed moderation or word filters. I've known a lot of people who have some really creatively worded insults to get around Call of Duty's ridiculous word filter for example.
It fucking sucks though, and I love that the fediverse doesn't seem to care about profanity at all. Maybe there is an instance or two, but I haven't run across any.
I understand, was just trying to shoehorn the 7 words into a semi-satirical post.
Still, sucks that the response to censorship is to capitulate in advance. I’m all for creative insults for the sake of being creative but it’s way beyond that right now.
I am known to be rather stubborn though, so my instinct in such situations is to get even mouthier.
