Cause it's fucking bullshit

Most of the time, these self censors come from people who use shitty controlled platforms like Instagram or TikTok, where several "bad bad" words get you shadow banned. Agreeing with that bullshit and bending the knee to corporate rule is not something anyone should be proud of

Unfortunately, I think apathy towards this, (while very cool and nonchalant and badass don't get me wrong) is about as annoying.

And it's interesting that I see these posts posing as apathy under every single complaint about censorship. I mean at some point it's reactionary.

It's conservative in the most basic sense of the word (not in our modern political sense). You see someone upsetting the status quo (questioning why people need to censor things on an internet forum) and the reaction is: "Why do these people care so much? It's fine, there's no problem with censoring it's never bothered me." Most people think this way, but most people don't post about it.

There are two different ways to take it: one way is you actually agree with the censorship but either don't have an argument or don't want to argue so instead vaguely post about apathy, painting the other side as losers who care too much.

Another way is what I said before, it's a reactionary "ugh" as you pass by, wondering why people have their panties in a twist about someone censoring the word "kill" from one meme.
