I'm not a bot, I just didn't know if the people here liked bad words or not. It's just a nice middle ground I think. If you still don't think it's an original, I think I can send you the .xcf file, I just don't remember if I deleted it or not

    If you're not sure, you can make a meme that doesn't use them. If you think swear words are needed to emphasize your point, blurring them afterwards literally destroys your own point

    Maybe it is, I don't know. These distorted standards from the mainstream websites, and wierd social etiquettes have made thinking and writing my own toughts feel wierd, I'm literally censoring myself. What an interesting world we live in.

    I think this is precisely why I have such a visceral reaction to blurring swear words and using euphemisms like 'unalive'.

    Language naturally evolves over time but I really don't like the idea that it's being disproportionately influenced by social media companies and their shitty algorithms trying to please advertisers. Yuck!
