I can’t think of anything more 2024 than openly talking about having sexual intercourse with household objects but censoring the word “retard”.
funnily enough my (or your) instance filters out the word too
I switched over from your instance because of the censorship. It's infantilizing to cross out or add asterisks to such words.
agreed
Nah that's your instance. It shows up fine when I view it on mine, but when I go on your it does indeed say removed.
.world censored the full fag word
You mean gay? Or homosexual?
And why would they censor that and not “fag”, when the former are also used as neutral descriptions while the latter is almost exclusively used in a derogatory way?
And also, do I even have to point out how ridiculous it is to promote freedom of information while simultaneously selectively censoring certain words? That’s literally Russia levels of hypocrisy right there.
No I mean f a g g o t is censored. Which is doubly ironic since fag isn't
Perhaps because it would upset British folks talking about their cigarettes?
Because 4chan is almost exclusively populated by 12-year-olds who think they're edgy but also don't want to upset mother
They're mother isn't on 4chan and they know it.
Also, nobody on 4chan actually censors that word, it must have been OP who did it, meaning they're afraid their mother is on Lemmy reading 4chan greentexts.
By 12 year olds do you mean ACTUAL 12 year olds? Or 30 year old men who never mentally progressed past 12?
