A community about dogs.

Breeds, tips and tricks about training and behaviour, news affecting dog owners, canine photography, dog-related art and any questions related to dog ownership.

Rules

  1. Posts must be related to dogs or dog ownership and must not be void of content.
  2. This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.
  7. No breed discrimination, all breeds welcome. Our stance matches the ASPCA's official stance and is not up for debate.
  8. Citing your sources when making a claim is encouraged. Misinformation will be removed.

Anyone who self censors is so pitiful. I don’t even know what to say for someone who self censors an already self censored word. Fucking hell

I think it's supposed to be a joke.

Now we're censoring substitute swear words? God I want our species to go extinct I really do.

Well, this post is over 6 years old, so...no, not "now". It's just supposed to be funny. Not sure why you're taking it so personally.

Heckin’. It’s supposedly a wholesome way to swear, lol.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 35 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

So wholesome that they still feel the need to censor it, weird...lol

American puritanism is indeed very weird.
