it’s so sad that that’s truly where the internet is… everything is a fucking purposeful mistake or bad take because anger and annoyance are the easiest levers to pull for generating engagement.

What sort of doofy prude poorly censors “sex?” Is it reply bait?

I’ve seen younger folks begin to overly censor stuff because platforms like TikTok supposedly limit your account’s reach for seemingly minor offenses. This is why you see stuff like “seggs” and “unalive” so often. No idea how often it happens, but that’s just my thoughts on it.

If those services are censoring them, why not just switch to a different service? I don’t get it really

You’re likely right. I checked and it looks to have been both created and edited in 2021. Do you have any clue whether the practice you described was widespread at the time? (I know less than nothing about tiktok)

It’s been going on for as long as I can remember on TikTok and I started using TikTok during the lockdowns in 2020, so that checks out.

I know, there’s way too much jpeg for this to have been created recently.

Those are 2007 pixels. Great vintage.

Why did you, personally, poorly censor the word “sex”? I will never recover from your injustice

You, dad! I learned it by watching you!
