Afaik tiktok also heavily censors topics that are considered bad publicity or whatever. In fact, considering that this self-censor trend (edit: this type of self censor trend that utilizes cutting out vowels instead of using euphemisms or not using the words at all) is much much younger than YouTube or Instagram (at least I noticed it only a few months, maybe one or two years ago) I’d say the American companies weren’t even the driving force behind it.
Fuck the fucking fuckers. Swearing as much a part of human communication as cadence is.
Puritans can fuck themselves with a pineapple. It’s as ridiculous as finding full stops offensive and insisting the rest of the world bow to them by using double commas or something.
Except no one sees the censored thing and doesn’t think the word itself. If anything the censor is bringing extra attention to it. It’s dumb. If the person posting is scared of the word, they should leave it out. If they’re worried other people might fear it then either they should leave it out or not bother censoring because they see it anyway.
because it actually adds comedic value to some, like me. it’s somehow funnier if you sloppily censor fuck? i can’t explain it but yesh, if you don’t think of it like that it’ll be pretty cringe
Why do people censor fuck or other profanity on the internet? I don’t get it, and until now, I’ve been too afraid to ask.
Murica. Dunno if any other country does censor such trivialities too. And to the deeper why: religious hipocrisy i guess.

Because not everyone is comfortable with swears
