  Say “shit”, not “sh*t”.

  Say “pussy”, not “p**sy”.

  Say “gay”, not “”.

    Sometimes it can be used for comedic effect though. Like with “Fr*nce”.

    Oh now I see it, in the title! Yes indeed what is it with people doing that?

      My understanding is that it’s driven by Tiktok, which, being a Chinese company, lives and breathes censorship and forced societal norms.

        Maybe driven by it, but I’m on an established forum that just doesn’t allow swearing in an attempt to be “family friendly.” (Everyone on it is an adult, but whatever.)

        So when I repost stuff from here to there, I have to censor it. I think it’s silly, but it’s not the first forum I’ve been on that has mandated that.

      To share those on linkedin and corporate slack, I guess. Or in schools, or in boomer chats or something.
