I can’t figure out that last word f***k this is b******t g****r
GWAR!
Oh that’s nasty
This is the second time I’ve seen GWAR mentioned on Lemmy today, which isn’t a lot, but it’s enough to make me smile.
Gamr
grrrrrrrrr
one does not simply walk into m*rd*r
I like to take an evening stroll down Murder to do some mordor.

gear, common slang for steroids in the weightlifting scene. Since steroids are kinda dangerous it gets self censored like the other words
What’s “g**r” ?
Engagement bait
There is no R in that

It’s utterly fucked that things get subtly thrown in like this to boost engagement. Nevermind AI slop, there is so much general slop content on the internet now.
No, that’s too many letters.
Pshhh this guy doesn’t remember the controversy in 1972 when 8 year old poet Gerald “Little Milton” Bostock said the word “g**r”
Probably meant g*re?
Clearly “grrr”
Spineless bitch ass ad c*mpany ball fondling fucks, the lot of them.
What is “g**r”?.
gear, common slang for steroids in the weightlifting scene. Since steroids are kinda sketchy it gets self censored like the other words
So the gearheads I’m thinking of aren’t the gearheads you’re thinking of?
Best guess is gnar. People who say it are fucking gnarly

They’d rather unalive us all than miss out on profits.
I have no idea who Hank H*ll is tho.
Sam’s br*ther?
Those scary words make the investors sad. :(
Dunno why it’s so hard to figure out or why people bitch about it.
Posting certain words will often get your social media submission blocked, pushed way down by the algorithm, or run up against a rule of some kind.
So people make up stuff like “unalived” or “sh•t” or “f•ck” so they don’t run up against soft censorship.
That’s how it is. It’s not Earth shattering, it’s censorship.
The problem is the corporate system and that people are willing to abide by and accept that system, and when they bring the compromises due to the system to places (such as the Threadiverse) to which those compromises are irrelevant.
I’d like to see more outright bans against doing this.
Curse or don’t curse. Pick a fucking lane you snivelling cowards.
Except that there’s no evidence that saying “killed” or “murdered” for example, actually does push you down the algorithm. And if it did, surely saying “unalived” would have the same effect by now, since the algorithm could easily be extended to this term, and it’s been in use for ages.
People censoring themselves in this way, preemptively, with no certainty that it is making a difference is like late-stage Orwellian batshit insanity.
It’s enough of a reason on its own to avoid those platforms. When even the creators are disingenuous enough to self-censor inoffensive words in an effort to appease an opaque algorithm, the content cannot possibly be meaningful.
Eight words you can’t say on YouTube.
