What workers?

A "s__ worker"?

Someone help, it is literally impossible to read this post with the giant censor bar.

I think it's Sas worker .... someone who gives you sas

or they work for the British SAS (Special Air Service)

I'm not a fan of censored memes, but they are becoming common and I'm far too lazy to hunt down uncensored ones or fix the ones I find

Gotta be Shrek worker. Shrek is heavily censored in some part of the world because the movie is too woke.

SΘX worker is the clear answer based on what we can see of the letters

although this one look like some just wanted to get through filters which use crappy OCR, at least they left everything readable

Stop censoring normal fucking words. OP didn't obviously do it, why do reposters feel the need?

It's still legible though. I think it's leas for the sake of modesty than just maximizing reach in the algorithm of whatever social media it was reposted to. An image-to-text algo would probably not register the marked word(s) to then mark the post as vulgar or 18+, and then show it to fewer people because of that. I see it all the time in posts mentioning Palestine, which started when it became apparent that those kinds of posts were being suppressed.

Along the same lines, sometimes something silly like a hair is edited into the image. I've always assumed this is to prevent it from getting caught by content-recognition algorithms, which would mark it as a repost and either remove or de-rank the content.

Seems the hate is better directed at the algorithms that make this worthwhile than the reposters frustrating those efforts to sanitize everything by putting a non-destructive mark on the content.

That's the free speach you've got over there? One naughty word having any Christian fundamentalist blush and you get cut off.

I would heartily support that. The Fediverse should take a stand against this advertiser-friendly bullshit.

That would cut down on the number of memes available, since the sources are often censored.

I think we should require someone posting a censored meme add additional censorship to make the message appear more potentially offensive.

The vast majority of the time it would take a couple of seconds to just uncensor the words. There's no need to keep the censorship, anyone here could easily do it.

If someone is somehow so inept that they can't uncensor a meme then they have so serious issues.

I'm with you, but our meme community is already so sparse and limited compared to larger platforms that I'm not sure we'd like the results.

I downvote them. If enough people agree to do that then people will probably start making the tiny effort it takes to uncensor the memes.

...can we talk about Kidneyfoot Jenny, or do you think they were just trying to differentiate between her and Mexican Jennie?

Holy shit, these are all amazing.

We're only missing Long Dick Johnson.

"The Chinless Wonder."

"Dog-faced Kitty."

"Fatty McDuff."

"Few Clothes Molly."

... modern day stipper/porn star names got nothin' on these, goddamn.

This is, to me, the same level/kind of funny as that Japanese baseball game from the 80s, with the hysterical attempts at coming up with American baseball player names.

He wouldn't be President for another 70ish years.

Ah, good 'ole Lyndon "Flop my cock out at the urinal to intimidate other politicians" Johnson.

Dita von Teese wrote the foreword to R. F. Johnson's "Working Girls" which features pictures of - mostly female, mostly dressed - brothel workers, taken in 1892 by William Goldman.

I like this photo in particular, it seems so weirdly un-1800s-like:

Between them and Squirrel-Tooth Alice, I hope something doesn't awaken inside of me.

And by something, I mean a venereal disease, because it's too late for me to not be a furry.

I'm obviously "Grizzly Bear" but I might be "German Muscle Woman" for the right price.

$20 went a lot further back then.

It is kind of fun trying to guess whether some of the names that could be gender neutral today would have been back in the day.

Like I am guessing Buffalo Jo is short for Josephine, and Dutch Jake is definitely a man, but Fatty McDuff and The Carson Banger could go either way depending on their sense of humor.

Now I have to fire up WWE to see if "The Virgin" is one of the names you can actually have the announcers say... 🤔

If I can, I'm making a Discord mod wrestler cuz I need more Heels for my custom federation.

Big Bonanza sounds like the name of a restaurant for big eaters, and know what I'm all for it

Also also, how long can an adult performer go with the stage name "The Virgin" before it becomes false advertisement?

It's like wrestling. You know it's not real but you play along anyway.

Only about 3 or 4 male-ish sounding names on here, so I guess Leo the Lion. But I refuse to wear the lion as anything other than a belt!

I'm already on the list. Actual name and fairly accurate description.
