Can't stand it. Censoring yourself so some random ass company can make more ad revenue.

Fuck that.

My wife was telling me about how annoying it is that she'll try listening to new true crime podcasts and they'll shit like "unalived" instead of "killed". Comes across hella disrespectful to the victims.

To be fair, it's pretty bleak to use someone's grisly murder as a means of entertainment. Our society is weird

I get so annoyed listening to true crime stuff on YouTube these days and having the audio cut out any time a person uses the word suicide or rape, but not the gorey details of murder; no that's perfectly fine to hear every excruciating detail, but lord forbid your precious ears here the letters S-U-I-C-I-D-E in order.

Everyone else is circle jerking about the censorship, meanwhile, I’m wondering how murder, rape, suicide, sex, and lesbians all came up in a bumble chat.

"says le$bian"

Really. Can you spell out phonetically how they say that?

[–] [email protected] 75 points 9 months ago (1 children)

$bian is a variable but it wasn't set, so it's pronounced "le-undefined"

Honestly, a tiktokker and a 4channer sound like the perfect couple, at least from the POV as an outside observar. grabs popcorn

I fucking hate people censoring themselfs. Like what the fuck does "I ****** ***** ****** *****" mean?

[–] [email protected] 68 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (11 children)

Saw this often back then on Reddit. People wanting to curse, but the writing f*ck. If you want to curse, curse. If you think it would be too rude to spell out, just fucking don't.

I had this happen in real life.

A friend of a friend died of cancer complications. I posted a rest in peace type message on Facebook without details.

The next time I saw my mother she asked "I saw your post. Did your friend unalive herself...?". It felt SO insulting and demeaning for her to ask that AND to ask like that.

Preventing people from saying "lesbian" sounds homophobic to me.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago (1 children)

CPC regularly disappear gay and lesbian people. Back in 1996 they just publicly executed them.

The terms originated from online censorship but to me using these terms IRL is very similar to people who use internet slang out loud. Might not be censoring herself but just so used to using those terms. It's annoying either way though.

Languages evolving, to match the censorship, which means censorship will evolve as well. People want to express themselves

If I was in the market for a new companion the use of Tik-Tok would be a HARD pass for me.
