Gonna trigger half of Lemmy with this one, but I'm heckin annoyed.

Yes, I'm aware I can curse on the internet - it's not my first day here. I use the exact words I mean to use, and I'm more a fan of the precision F-strike than indiscriminately carpet-bombing the place with "fucks". Stop word-policing me (and others).
Edited to add alt text.
Yeah, this went over about as well as expected. And the irony and hypocrisy of the free speech absolutists coming out of the woodwork to tell us all what we can and can't say is not lost on me.
The fucking problem with fucking self censorship, is it fucking often comes from people fucking compling with fucking corporate media fucking algorithmic censorship. Then internalizing the fucking limits of online spaces, it's a fucking sinister infiltration of the human fucking mind, and is driving a fucking shift to the fucking alt-right. Also you can say fuck on the Internet.
Oh no this is sin we will all go to hell \s
Gee, thanks. That's totally good to know since it's my first day here and all! ๐
Oh, the fuck it is. See? I wanted to use the word "fuck" that time, and I chose to - I don't always, and that is my prerogative. Shouldn't have to worry about self-un-censoring my style of speaking to keep a bunch of internet edgelords from getting their panties in a wad because I didn't say the swear.
I'm just curious but is your post about saying fuck or shit or is it more about self censorship in terms of vocab made up by tiktok, like unalive or pewpew? I think there's a lot of confusion about whether youre talking about normal cursewords or tiktok brain.
