Entirely possible that a teenager or even a disturbed child wrote this. I think the concept of censoring words in silly ways is just funny to current batch of young adults. See: “ahh” (ass), “dih” (dick), “gyatt” (ass)…
It’s like ironic adherence to censorship rules. Oh and although this font is from an instagram story, they’re probably used to making tiktok posts, where you actually do have to censor every such word.
I have used “#@%!!” Before like some comics do while playing a moba. I am over 3 decades old.
I want to express some frustration but also signal to not take it too seriously. Its just a game, i am not actually mad. If a game makes you mad you should stop playing.
Kids might also be playing the same game and while i am not afraid to “hurt” them with swears i do thing it helps create a more friendly atmosphere not to start “flaming” every time things don’t go as hoped. At the same time communicating frustration in the game is a way to cope as a team, and maybe change strategy.
I also thinks its just way more funny and there is some creativity in making the different symbols look good as a set.
But it does entice people to act surprised and ask “if i am too young to swear” or something.
Do they prefer if i was actually mad and cursing? Do they think some actual mad child is going out their way to censor themselves in the heat of moment?
