what was censored? that fact that says ass twice?
List of ~~Ass~~assinated Billionaires
I hope OP edits the post. Stamp out censorship of memes on Lemmy.
Took me 1 minute googling to find that meme. We need a culture of not fucking censoring memes on Lemmy. Fuck shit ass, by the way.
I'm so glad it's not just me calling this stuff out and posting the uncensored shit. Some stuff should be censored in my view - you know, pro-Nazi stuff, that weird shit that encourages anorexia, that sort of stuff - but not dumb memes.
...and particularly when the censorship is so fucking lazy. Jesus, do a quick search for part of the text and you'll find an uncensored original. Post that!
Thx
I usually am annoyed by this self censoring bs but in this instance it feels like it's a meta joke on exactly this behavior.
How come? I can't see that joke
I don't know it just seems too on the nose, the ancient "expand the list" joke framework, picking a word that would become unintelligible when properly censored, then using the lazy censoring, censoring the first ass but leaving the second one untouched.
I am honestly not sure if it's a joke or not, but it feels like one.
Edit: maybe I just wanted it to be a meta joke, because the "expand the list" thing has run its course for me by now. Seeing it with the censoring removed makes it less funny for me, like a minions meme or something
why is the first a** blurred but not the second?
Most likely to censor the word "Assassinated" as a whole.
Then censor out the 'n' for peak censoring
I propose that crossing out the entire “inated” would be peak comedy
Would have been funnier at least.
I am very sad this isnt a real Wikipedia article...
Make it one.
The Sherman case from Toronto is so interesting. Still unsolved. I don't normally follow true crime but this is so mysterious.
