Internet censorship has somehow become wider and less thoughtful than TV and movie censorship ever was. Including Hayes Code shit.

So at some point, the original screenshot was posted somewhere that doesn’t allow the words “sexuality” and “spectrum” but “gayest” is a-okay. Interesting.

Let’s not assume that it isn’t allowed unless someone explicitly states that. It’s more like a precaution. We shouldn’t cave to that nonsense but it’s become pervasive. I remember when reddit started autocollapsing comments with certain vulgar language.

I still call it Twitter because their emails are still branded as Twitter. I don’t actuslly use it any more but I do get so much spam through DMs that I’m considering deleting my account. I’m mostly holding it just so nobody squats on my name.

Oh yeah, they still own the twtimg domain and other scripts are downloaded from twitter.com. Looks like they gave it a superficial paint job to shut the big boy’s yap.
