Listening to a folk punk song that uses the word fuck to great effect on Spotify yesterday, wondering why the fuck the line ‘If you fuck up I will still be your friend’ reads ‘If you f up’.
I just don’t get it. Fuck is a valid, if vulgar, part of the common English lexicon. It serves a purpose.
Yeah, it’s not about the choice of language someone uses, it’s about simultaneously wanting to use a word but also not use it. At least for the self-censors.
And it’s about someone else wanting to show others that thing, but for whatever reason deciding that some words used are too bad or something. And then doing it on words where the “problem” comes from the meaning rather than the word itself (unlike “fuck” or “shit” where they are “ok” topics but “unacceptable” terms to use and frequently used outside of their original meanings anyways).
Censorship is dumb in general (other than redacting personal information to prevent harassment), but this whole “I want to use words but not really use them” and “I think people should see this content, but they can’t handle it without hiding some things” are extra dumb.
But what is he addicted to? We’ll never know!
This new coddled baby internet for children where you can’t say adult words is getting tiring.
When does the adult internet come back?
True, this self-cens*rship is ann*ying! We want our freed*m back!
When the advertisers leave, these algorithms only suppress posts with those words because they don’t like it.
Addicted to Heron. Explains the flapping bird.

You didn’t fucking curse one goddamn time in your reply.
But that’s the stupid part. It’s not even about cursing. It’s about words like heroin, kill, rape, etc. I mean is this tiktok or what
