I hate that people are starting to actually use these censor-bypass words in real life… makes adults sound like children!

    So, kinda like how all slang and colloquial language sounds at first? Not like prefixes aren't a part of our language either.

    Besides, there's plenty of words that get changed or replaced because what society considers offensive changes.

    We don't use "cripple", "retard", or many other words.

    I get what you’re saying, but in this case it just has this… dystopian corporate essence to it. Instead of getting off these shitty platforms that censor words and idea, people just find ways around the censors while still using the platform. Platform keeps making out like gangbusters, society gets dumbed down a little more. It kind of reminds me of what people in China have to do to talk shit about their govt without getting in trouble, which is… not the direction we should be going.
