Comment on minor tomfoolery đ»đšđ¶
Hoimo@ani.social âš6â© âšdaysâ© agoIf you donât want to swear, donât swear. Mildly censoring a swear word to âf*ckâ doesnât accomplish anything. Everyone who reads it knows exactly what it says. And if you go far enough to make it unrecognizable, like â!@#*â, now youâre just pretending to swear, but for what purpose? Couldnât you accomplish your goals by rephrasing to avoid a swear word entirely? (Assuming your goal is to avoid swear words, of course. If the goal is to sound like a cartoon character, consider taking up a funny catch phrase.)

What if I donât ânot want to swearâ, what if I want to used self-censored curse words? Should I sacrifice my freedom of speech to appease others?

What is your point? You donât want to swear, but you donât not want to swear either? Maybe sort out your beliefs then.

Iâve got my beliefs sorted, I want to be able to express myself however I choose. Including using censored curse words if I so choose.
And my point is, as Iâve said a few times, that I find it funny how censorship has gone from âpoliteâ to âoffensiveâ.
