  Is this stupid trend of censoring words a USA thing? And why is it so popular? I’m legit wondering since I cannot understand.

    It’s a social media thing. Supposedly posts get deprioritized by the algorithm if they contain “family unfriendly” words like kill or drug references. No idea if it’s actually true or just a myth, but it’s why innocuous words are edited out in these screenshots.

      I thinknthe correct term is “advertiser unfriendly”.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if that was true though.

        Yup the real 1984 is all corpo-advertising driven.

        Well, that and wannabe fascists.

    Lots of social media now deprioritizes “advertiser unfriendly” content. Especially TikTok. So, the response to that is to self-censor so that you still reach full engagement. It’s an arms race to keep swearing without the algorithms silencing you for doing so.

      I’m not surprised T*kTok does that

    Depends, actual censorship of words exist worldwide.

    Pointless censorship however i have only seen in US and Japan, but both for very different types of content.

      You’ve obviously never crossed the street in NY.

        Fun fact: I literally was in New York (City) and did cross streets there!

    Honestly at this point it’s just engagement bait. Yes, the trend is awful and terrible and stupid, but also people cannot resist the temptation of calling that out as well, so now it serves double-duty of being easy comment farming (note: this applies more to places like reddit than here on Lemmy, but I’m speaking in generalities here).

    It’s a kind of damned if you do, damned if you don’t thing in terms of responding to this stupid self-censorship.

  They left “her”, which changes the poor lad from a humble druggie to an obsessive creep.

  He’s protected from Her? It’s a sex thing.

  What is it? I want to be addicted to something! What could it be? As soon as I find out I’m going to immediately get addicted to it, no matter what.
