      We’ve gone all the way around so now censoring a swear makes people more upset than actually saying it and I really don’t understand why.

      Year 2000

      Say ‘fuck’

      People get irrationally mad

      Year 2024

      Say ‘fxck’

      People get irrationally mad

      What happened?

      I’m pretty certain it’s done just to get comments like yours, the same as deliberately misspelling and rage bait. Everything for more comments, clicks, interaction etc.
