Censorship is a real problem, but you don’t have to embrace it. That’s just making the problem worse.
Its to avoid being censored actually. I think we get their gist when we are missing one letter. Depends on which platform that determines if it’s pointless or not but who cares.
If you’re gonna self censor then just use a different word. Self censoring is still caving in to censorship in general. Either say the full word uncensored or pick a different word. Anything else is just annoying to read.
I disagree with that. Content creators need to adapt to survive with the modern algorithms. Those algorithms are trash and the censorship behind it can eat a fat one, but the creators are just trying to get paid.
Now, bringing that self-censorship into real life, into casual conversation with friends, off of platforms that are monetized… that is what annoys me. Not because they are difficult to read, that’s just an evolution of slang, but because it muddies the language and weakens our ability to communicate. “Unalive” instead of suicide or killed makes it seem less serious, less graphic, at least to me. And that’s the whole point of why they are using replacements in monetized content, because it is safer, but sometimes language needs to be harsher.
People who speak up get fucked… Game 101.
While some people don’t mind that FAFO, cast majority are not willing to get dicked by their social circle, school and employer over having annoying “opinions” like getting paid a fair wage
Weak AF
Be brave, be yourself.
Ohh I do a lot of FAFO it is a life style choice…
But I don’t blame poors, young or vulnerable to avoiding it.
I do judge the bootlicker harshly. Imagine being an adult person with decent economic situation and then still taking daddy’s dick while punching down…
Microcosm of America right there
I agree, I don’t like all the self censorship that I think comes about from algorithms like tiktok - I’m not talking about ideas, but instead about literal words replacement censorship like “unalive” “seggs” and that like
I want people to be bold enough to use the real word - at least in irl conversation.
It feels way too much like Orwell’s Newspeak
Exactly! I hate how corporations get to control our language now and people just fall in line with it.

It doesn’t make much sense anyway. You try to take away the power a word has or make it so it’s not readily available, but that just makes me wonder more about it.
“The f word? Which f word?”
“Why did they put an asterisk to hide ‘abuse’?”
“F*cker” - great censoring. Nobody will ever be able to tell what that word was.
