I read it as “better help uhh therapist” because of the stupid ass self censorship. I’m not blaming the user for doing it, just annoyed for natural real world language getting hamstrung to satisfy advertisers. How long until “tisk tisk tisk! You can’t say ‘ahh’, that’s a naughty word!”?
That’s really, genuinely never made sense to me. If I’m going to say “freaking” it has the exact same meaning as “fucking”. So what’s the difference? Yet one is acceptable and one is, *clutches pearls*, a bad word. :O
I mean, if the specific word you want to use seems to be an inappropriate tone, maybe find a different way to say what you’re trying to say instead of injecting a filter-bypass replacement for the same word you didn’t feel was an appropriate tone?

You can actually say “ass” here, btw.
Fuckin’ mainstream social media-ass comment.

No they’re on .world so bad words like “ass” deal psychic damage to them.

“ahh” has a better ring to it than “ass”

Personally I prefer “arse” with an uppity RP (Received Pronunciation) accent.

I’m not going to downvote you for this, because you’re allowed to think that, but I want you to know that I want to because you’re wrong. Lol

Yeah but saying ahh is funny
Ass is just crass (also, this has the same energy as redditors who complain about emojis)

Ahh means ass? Drag is out of touch.

Yeah, it’s an AAVE based, censorship-born, slang term.
