    It’s weak and confirmist.

    Never before in the history of generational slang has there been a consensus to self censor and there’s not even a good reason for it.

    It’s as if your generation decided to do it because you could escape online moderation on other platforms by willingly choosing to censor yourself before someone else has the chance to which is… inherently pathetic.

      It’s not self-censorship, it phonetic spelling.

      People say stuff like ahh, shii, biatch, muggafugga in real life, and it’s still widely considered to be profane in context.

      You just don’t like Black culture, and look down on Black people for their dialects.

      Demanding dictionary spelling is about as language-conformist as you can get; you’re not even good at the mental gymnastics you’re trying to do.
