โฒ 216 โผ Why are people censoring "bad" words? (lemmy.ohaa.xyz) submitted 2 years ago by Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 126 comments fedilink hide all child comments Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.

Self-censorship is useful in the sense of a larger vocabulary or unique or silly insults, or slang/code like Jive, but to use a word and still censor that word is preposterous. Just use a differen't word you turkey! Don't just say "d!ck" for "dick," say "weiner," it's more funny anyway. permalink fedilink source parent
