    You can say shit, I have no idea why you’d willingly type sh**, just use a different fucking word if you’re concerned about…something?

    You’re in Australia for chrissakes. A land of sincere, devoted contributions to the development of vulgarity and obscenities of all kinds. What are ya doin.

        “offended” - is that the thing to avoid?

        I’m not “offended” lol. I just think it’s dumb and bad for all of us. Use the words you mean. If you mean them, then use them. If you don’t mean them, use something else. What is this weird hack job for no benefit?

        Self-censorship like this is utterly bizarre, when limitless even richer words are available, and just typing the actual word has no imaginable negative consequence. It’s bad for all of us.

          Actually, its super bizarre to make a big deal over something mundane like this. Guessing you’re that guy in real life who needs all your friends to be yes men, and agree with you.

          No, I’m not changing it. You’ll survive, Karen… Maybe you should be more concerned about Trump’s scams…

              You’re right. I don’t

              It’s one of those things that “anti woke” people would say to bully people who don’t stoop to their level lol

                You sound proudly ignorant, but go off, why not?

                Self censorship was not a thing one ever encountered online until people found it to be useful / necessary for favorable algorithmic treatment on the big social media platforms.

                And then, since it wasn’t really policies as much as algorithmic vibes folks were trying to satisfy, folks start self-censoring the dumbest shit. Like blurring out the word “hate” and other idiotic nonsense. It’s this very stupid way of warping how people write, to satisfy a machine. And normalizing that, as a normal way to communicate.

                So yeah, not a fan when I see people writing that way. Because I prefer human beings.

                  Elther that, or sometimes there is no benefit to swearing. And it’s fairly clear in not doing it to satisfy a machine.

                  But ok Mr gatekeeper. I don’t think ignorant means what you think it does

                  I prefer normal people who don’t give a sh** about stupid stuff like this. So agree to disagree. Not responding again

                  Go bully someone else instead

                    If there’s no benefit to swearing, why pretend to use the word lmao? It’s so fucking weird.

                    I get grumpy when I see this normalization of a very foolish way to communicate, you not thinking very hard about what you’re doing and spreading is not a defense of such.

                    It’s bad for people. So yep, agree to disagree.
