Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

At what point is fuck, shit, cock, cunt, pussy, bitch, slut, ass, or any other "bad" word an idea?
If you're gonna cave into censorship then fucking cave. Anything less is just pathetic.
And no need to apologize. In all honesty please curse more. Fuck what snooty people think is uncouth.
Oh i kind of thought you were concerned with ideological expression being culled... but i guess you just want to cuss lmao.
Arent you caving MORE if you use an entirely different word? Omitting a single letter means you express exactly what you intended to but using an entirely different word... holy shit thats like repressing your true self to please corporations... or something... sorry im not good at this.
You're correct that I just want to cuss. But the two aren't unrelated. If someone can decide certain words are inappropriate they can decide any words are inappropriate.
My point about caving is if you're gonna cave to their (whatever website/app) rules then cave completely. Don't swear. At all. If you want to swear but can't because of some bullshit terms of service then either protest by swearing brazenly or use a different word.
If you're not gonna spell it out then you're already doing what they want.
Idk i just consider the important ethical questions of life and society and compare it to your disdain for asterisks and wonder why you walk this path. Seems really specific and im not sure who benefits.
