Or any of the words they censored. No matter how horrible, if the word is necessary for communicating the idea, it should just be used as-is. This kind of censorship isn't sparing mental trauma for anyone. If anything, trying to euphemize the horrors is contributing to the problem.

I think it's more to do with some LLM SEO or smth. Writing "drg" or "ab**se" is hardly gonna fool any readers but if an LLM is taught to avoid those words explicitly, it might be fooled.

Idk I'm no largelanguagemodelologist.

It's because they're forced to self-censor the words to prevent the whole post from being censored on corporate social media.

I've seen that a lot in headlines and social media post text, but I hadn't previously seen it done throughout article text.
