A lot of us do it out of habit from commenting on stupid corporate sites that will shadow-hide “rude” or “vulgar” comments. Self -censoring on those platforms makes absolutely perfect sense, because it can be the difference between ACTUALLY posting a comment, and posting a comment that’s instantly flagged for review and hidden.
Then you fucking ding-dongs come on Lemmy going, “WhY wOuLd AnYOnE dO tHaT?!” and vote them in to oblivion… Fucking losers voting something down just because you don’t understand. THAT is truly the pathetic behavior on display here.
There’s an argument to be made here that you shouldn’t be using vulgar language when you know it’ll be flagged. Just rephrase what you were saying. And if you feel you need to be vulgar in a place where it’s not welcomed, it’s probably not worth saying anyway.
Nah, tacit denials of speech is not something we should accept. Arbitrary reasons should not be defended. Swearing is not something generally bad. Why are you even on Lemmy if you’re OK with corporations controlling speech?
It’s amazing. So many people on Lemmy, and still so many defending the exact practices that make Lemmy attractive since Lemmy don’t do that…
Actually, I went to a Yoko concert once… my gf bought the tickets, don’t look at me like that, all wanted was p*ssy 😭.
You are on the internet, you can say pussy here
I think on the internet now you say earussy or something like that, something wikipedia
Kids these days
Old habbits die hard 😁.
I think they are too much of one to do that.
Even more pathetic.
And I didn’t get p*ssy in the end either 😔.
Maybe she wanted someone who isn’t scared to write pussy or just use a term they are comfortable to use.
Either commit to writing the crude word or just don’t use it.
Whoa there you’re being really aggressive right now, no need to be just a j*rk!!
Whoa so much toxicity, what’s going on here?
I am jusy puzzled about the use of “p*ssy”. Either write “pussy” or don’t use the word at all of you too ashamed to write it in full.
Using an asterisk is neither here nor there, wouldn’t you say?

Yoko - source of argument and contention for over four decades.

I haven’t downvoted anyone in this thread. You know you can check that, please blow up at someone who did.
And again, in this case, just don’t use rude words in the first place.
