  With stuff like Tesla and Twitter, it can keep away the weird nerds who search those terms in hopes of white-knight-sealioning a conversation into oblivion. I think it just became part of the lexicon.

      Have you ever heard a sea lion? They’re super loud and they all get together and bark.

        I gotta be honest, the sea lion is not the bad guy in this comic. Guy randomly says some racist shit, and a member of the group he’s being racist against calls him out for being racist, so he then uses that as justification for the initial racist statement.

  It conveys “I have such a disdain for that thing that I’m asterisking its name like it was a slur or swear word”.

  I’m not a big fan either, even if you can find some secondary roles for that (as keeping someone from finding it, like ilinamorato exemplified). It distracts the reader from what is being said to the author’s personal opinion about what is being said.

  It’s ironic, except for when we’re talking about the Fr*nch. It’s self aware humor that you’re being ridiculous. The tone it’s supposed to convey in situations like thisis that you’re being hyperbolically obtuse.

    Those are generally used for bypassing filters on TikTok and Instagram

    But like, come on man, no matter how much you censor it I know the word and I get the message. Because that’s why you wrote it, you want me to read and understand it
