It’s because of this disgusting American cultural puritanism, I don’t know why but Americans especially the boomer cunts lose their shit at the first sight of a slur
Remember Carlin’s famous bit?

My biggest problem is the censure. I’m in my car, “hey google play teenage dirt bag on spotify”. Sounds great until the “her boyfriends a dick he brings a [silence]. And he’d simply kick my ass…”
Or Jay-Z story of OJ : “rich jigga, poor jigga, house jigga, field jigga”
What? Seriously loses all context and meaning.
Spotify redefining the message of whatever was happening…
That’s why I collect vinyl. Can’t change that shit up one my listening. If Jay Z wanted to use the N word the I want to hear it like it is. Not some bullshit jigga shit wtf is that? Isn’t it denying his message?

Bro, “Puritanism” is a religious movement of the 16-17th century. Maybe you mean purism?

But Jay Z made that version too, knowing fully that the distributer can choose which pegi-level they want to use - rather than blocking the song altogether, or worse bleeping the bad language.
You can choose which pegi-level you use in the software, maybe your system is set up to defaults?
I think it’s weird to blame this on Spotify…

Granted I haven’t used Spotify for anything but an alarm clock ever since I canceled my premium a year ago, but what censorship are you talking about? 80% of my listening time before I quit was rap and I can assure you, there was a lot of bad language. Most albums and singles that have clean versions have a dirty version as well. Back in the day, clean and dirty were listed as separate albums, but they changed it so that it’s one listing and you have to somehow pick which version you want to look at/listen to/add to playlists. But maybe they changed that again I don’t know. I also vaguely remember there being a user setting for showing explicit content, but I’m not sure.

When you request a song through voice (like in your car), it’ll default to clean versions of songs. Even if your settings are allowing explicit lyrics.
Plopp@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Ok. That definitely sucks, but I wouldn’t say that’s Spotify censoring anything. It’s just trash UX.

Wtf? Just could not believe, had to check it out for myself. What’s wrong with people.

Censure is me yelling at you for using the wrong word.

Nonsense.

I had mine set up like that. But it’ll default to the clean version if you ask voice to play a song.
