I’m fucking sick to death of people being sanctimonious dipshits and acting like self censorship is somehow the moral high ground. It’s not that you’re not swearing, you’re just putting the weight of the swear on the reader which is disingenuous and still swearing. I don’t care if you want type out fricking/fudging whatever cleaned up word you choose, but to type out f*** makes you look like an immature moron.

If you want to self censor then you're allowed to, just as people are allowed to mock people for doing so.

You're are allowed to do whatever the fuck you want. You're not allowed to bitch like a child if whatever you're doing will provoke the reaction that might be unpleasant to you. That's how community self-regulates. One idiot says "unalive", someone else tells them that they're a fucking idiot, they don't want to be called an idiot, they don't say "unalive" anymore, that's how it supposed to work.

Then choose a different word entirely. Typing a bunch of asterisks is still swearing, but erroneously putting the swear on the shoulders of the reader, when in reality it just makes you look stupid as fuck.

So then don't swear. It's easy not to. It looks ridiculous to almost swear. Either do or don't.
