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.

I have been watching Rick and Morty lately and every now and then I have to change the site to find a version of the episode I'm watching where swear words aren't censored. Like, it's a show made for adults full of violent and sexual themes, so I think that most viewers have heard the word "fuck" before. I hate it so much when people censor "bad words", even though nothing prevents them from saying them.

    There's a bar in my area that has the TouchTunes jukebox set up to be censored. I'm an adult at a fucking bar and I can't listen to something with a swear word, ha ha.

    One time I was at a MicroCenter (kind of like Best buy) and Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" came on the store music. I was like who the fuck plays a radio edit of this song what's the point?

    It was not a radio edit. We all heard "wanna fuck you like an animal" in all its original glory. A+ would buy wireless keyboard from there again.

    One show where removing the censor was a detriment: Metalocalypse. They used a guitar sound on our first few seasons, and replacing that with the actual a wear words was just… less funny? I’ve never felt that way about a show before, or since.
