What fucking asshole says to themself, "I need to censor this. Not well, but just a little."
Can we please stop?
It's so awful. Right up there with using euphemisms like "unalive". I can understand if that's a trigger for people but if you write "unalive" they're going to think of "kill" or "committed suicide" or whatever so it just seems pointless. I just want people to use their words. Maybe I'm just too old for this shit. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Unalive was mostly at first a way to circumvent tiktok moderation and shadowbans, not prevent triggers
And assholes capitulated. Imagine if nobody had complied with TikTok's idiotic rule? You think they'd keep standing up for that restriction?
I mean, yeah?
