      There’s something comically absurd to me about censoring “fuck” on a post that jokes about pedophilia lmao. Feels like the priorities might be slightly out of order.

          The internet is self-censoring to the point of being incredibly stupid. Many youtubers cannot say simple shit like dead or killed or sexually assaulted/raped or suicide, instead opting for euphemisms like unalive/unalive oneself and saying acronyms like SAed.

          Even as a child I knew what rape and murder were. Terrible things yes, but they weren’t things that I couldn’t comprehending or was so terrified of that it would make me have a panic attack.

          It is like that time in the Real Ghostbusters cartoon (one of the latter seasosn I believe) where they stopped referring to the ghosts as ghosts but as monsters due to the fear that children would be sacred of the idea of a dead person’s spirit coming to haunt the living… I mean even as a kid I knew what a ghost was (they aren’t real, but I understood the concept).
