obligatory copypasta

Holy fucking shit. I almost was exposed to a swear word on the Internet by some asshole cunt. That bitch didn’t know it’s fucking illegal to swear on the Internet. Thank fucking god someone blurred a very small part of there of five letters making it impossible to read the word “shit”. I was about to shit a fucking brick.

fuck

edit: @[email protected] took the time to edit it to remove the censor, so I changed the image in the post to that. Thanks!

      that’s kinda disingenous, the thing about censorship is that it’s inherently submitting to a higher authority, which for obvious reasons people have started realizing fucking sucks actually.

      censoring yourself is giving power to the platforms and people who want to run our lives and make people suffer for their own profit.

          If you don’t want to swear, don’t swear. Mildly censoring a swear word to “f*ck” doesn’t accomplish anything. Everyone who reads it knows exactly what it says. And if you go far enough to make it unrecognizable, like “!@#*”, now you’re just pretending to swear, but for what purpose? Couldn’t you accomplish your goals by rephrasing to avoid a swear word entirely? (Assuming your goal is to avoid swear words, of course. If the goal is to sound like a cartoon character, consider taking up a funny catch phrase.)

          Edit: Oh, and this is missing the original point entirely: the original post said “fkn”. That is their freedom of speech. Someone else decided to censor it before sharing. That is not covered under their freedom of speech (well, technically it is, but it’s also a clear case of censorship.) If the original post didn’t contain any censorable words, that is completely up to the author. But if you share a post and felt the need to inject your personal belief that “fkn” is a no-no word? Nobody asked.
