Every time a swear word is censored on the internet, a cat video gets a million views, or something like that.

[-] bunnyBoy@pawb.social 43 points 21 hours ago

We've gone all the way around so now censoring a swear makes people more upset than actually saying it and I really don't understand why.

Year 2000

Say 'fuck'

People get irrationally mad

Year 2024

Say 'fxck'

People get irrationally mad

What happened?

[-] uienia@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Your comment implicates you are in favour of censoring swear words. Coukd uou enlighten us as to why?

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

Because self-censorship is done to avoid getting filtered or demonetized on certain platforms due to policies put in place by those platforms to attract advertisers. It is not done because of the person's moral or ethical beliefs. It's basically willing compliance with internet enshittification to whitewash everything and make it advertiser friendly.

[-] Mozingo@lemmy.world 67 points 21 hours ago

The younger generations decided that being offended by swear words is fucking stupid.

[-] cafeinux@infosec.pub 45 points 21 hours ago

And those motherfuckers are right.

[-] cadekat@pawb.social 40 points 21 hours ago

I'm an older generation and (generally) refrain from swearing myself, but seeing censored posts on Lemmy drives me fucking insane. This isn't a preschool nor is it an advertiser-friendly place. We should keep it that way.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 22 points 17 hours ago

In fact, we should actively try to make it hostile to advertisements.

[-] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Fuck your goods I wipe my ass with your services.

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 16 points 20 hours ago

They're unaliving censorship, or however younger generations say it.

[-] Mozingo@lemmy.world 19 points 20 hours ago

Lmao, the term unaliving is censorship. Tiktok won't let you say "kill".

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 16 hours ago

That was their point lawl

[-] BirdyBoogleBop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 21 hours ago

But. Isn't it gen Z and older A's censoring shit?

[-] Mozingo@lemmy.world 17 points 20 hours ago

They don't censor because they're offended by the words. They censor so platforms like tiktok don't delete their posts.

[-] Jimbo@yiffit.net 5 points 11 hours ago

In my mind this makes it even worse

[-] Zos_Kia@lemmynsfw.com 19 points 18 hours ago

I don't remember people being offended by the word fuck in 2000. Sure on TV it could be considered dicey but on the internet it was pretty fair game

[-] Astronauticaldb@lemmy.world 27 points 21 hours ago

In adult-facing parts of the internet, including here, swears are typically used for an extra bit of "oomph" to spice up a sentence or make a point clear. (I know that there's an actual word for this but I can't think of it currently.) It's generally considered neutering that spice if you censor it; case in point is this meme. It just tends to look childish or dumb, especially if the word is just vaguely censored like this meme here again. At least Grawlixes ("$#@&!") have some mystery as to the word being said.

[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago

Intensifiers, goddammit!

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 13 points 20 hours ago

If you want to make a post without swear words, just do it. Using a swear word and then censoring it completely defeats the purpose

[-] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 10 points 21 hours ago

tbf the cats deserve it

[-] M137@lemmy.world -3 points 10 hours ago

I'm pretty certain it's done just to get comments like yours, the same as deliberately misspelling and rage bait. Everything for more comments, clicks, interaction etc.

[-] N00b22@lemmy.ml 5 points 20 hours ago

I didn't censor it so I'm not to blame

[-] Johanno@feddit.org 11 points 17 hours ago

Ok you didn't censor it. But did you consider uncensoring it?

[-] Astronauticaldb@lemmy.world 15 points 20 hours ago

Oh, I wasn't blaming you one bit. I was just pointing out how odd it is.

[-] Bezier@suppo.fi 10 points 20 hours ago

It really is odd. What's even the point? Is it some kind of "saying it without saying it" thing? It's still explicitly saying it.

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

Certain platforms will negatively impact an account based off content they find inappropriate.

I don't know which, because I don't use any of those fuckin platforms.
