Comment on I'm sick of these asterisk-holes
IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 4 months agoAlso unclear on that. But what is clear is OP apparently expects everyone to re-make a funny meme that everyone in the world can understand because they have to make a mountain out of a molehill and lack the imagination necessary to fill in the bl*nks.
re-make
Or just find the original. Or superimpose the uncensored word over the censored word. Better yet, you don’t have to remake or modify OC — why build our forum’s foundation on some other site’s works?
understand
I can understand just fine. The censorship is just horribly tacky and is a form of compliance with corporate agenda. If you are drawing from these media, then you are condoning that rewrite of language.
Who in the world invests that much time for a fucking meme? To me, this whole discussion feels very silly. When you meet someone who uses expressions like “gosh darnit” instead of “god dammit”, do you make a fuss about that too? I do understand that it really is about being annoyed of some platforms requiring their users to self-censor. But still… complaining this much about something you clearly understand and don’t have to do yourself just because you want the full, uncensored profanity to experience the full freedom Lemmy offers feels so pointless.
In a world where people use AI to generate the stupidest nonsense because they don’t want to bother opening an image editor and “it’s just a meme brah”, you expect people to to hunt down “the original” because someone put a dot on a word to farm outrage engagement?
Who exactly is forcing people to repost the memes they find? If something is bad, simply do not do it if you have the choice.
To most people, the core value of a meme is not diminished by a random speck of colour on it. If someone’s found a clever way to express something that I agree strongly with, I don’t give much of a fuck if it says “this motherfucking asshole needs to fucking d*e” or “this motherfucking asshole needs to fucking die”.

Lotta words for simping for corporate censorship
