Why are they censoring themselves?
Holy fuckin shit it's this one comment every single post. You know exactly why words are censored on social media sites.
Mind your fucking profanity
Tongue punch my chocolate starfish.
tongue punch my chocolate starfish yourself, you coward
I actually don't know why mild swear words like "bastard" are self-censored on the neo-Nazi social media website like a superstitious 12-year-old on XBL who thinks their parents might be home so whispers "you're a dumbass bitch" 2 centimeters from the mic.
Please, enlighten us with what would happen to this user if they said "bastard" without the asterisk like it makes any difference to "dah algurathamm!!1"
Algorithms prefer no swearwords. Many parts of the internet are obsessed with the possibility of going viral.
Personally I also think it's engagementbait, for the same reason OP got a little mad at the same question over and over again.
You know, the crypto bro could just be self-identifying as a moron.
Right. This place had like ten things it talks about and is a subset of the most insufferable of us from Reddit. It has a great benefit though, in that I spend vastly less time online these days.
My question is more why are they censoring themselves when the person they're parodying didn't? When the person they are parodying holds likely the highest office in the world today and they themselves are just some random poster?
Because capitalism chopped everyone's gonads off?
They’re quoting a trump tweet.
Yeah that's what I'm getting at, the og trump post wasn't censored
You sure about that?
Yes. It was not censored.
Wow now I’m extra annoyed because I saw it from a few sources and they were all censored so I assumed the source was as well. Fuck everything about this timeline.
saying "Fucking" is more offensive than praising Allah.
