Crazy that we need to censor these words but words like shooting, shooter, guns, killed, raped, etc. are in every day news headlines. Hell, our president proudly defends himself saying "grab them by the pussy" and that just got him more support from women-hating dumbasses. Our president cusses online in the US, but WE need to watch ourselves? What a joke of a planet. Always has been. You would think these platforms owned by greedy, lame ass billionaires wouldn't care about these things. I mean they have fascists and neo Nazis welcomed onto their platform but oh don't say the F word!

Irony or something.

I don't understand why anyone cares about the censorship. You all understood exactly what it was meant to say, and it helps it get seen on algorithmic sites. Why bother getting upset about it? Was it so important to see those 2 letters?
