Yes, I'm aware I can curse on the internet - it's not my first day here. I use the exact words I mean to use, and I'm more a fan of the precision F-strike than indiscriminately carpet-bombing the place with "fucks". Stop word-policing me (and others).

Edited to add alt text.

Yeah, this went over about as well as expected. And the irony and hypocrisy of the free speech absolutists coming out of the woodwork to tell us all what we can and can't say is not lost on me.

I too want to stop people placing arbitrary rules on my behaviour in public forums by imposing arbitrary rules on how to achieve my goals.

the only thing more annoying than someone self-censoring are the billion people telling them to stop self-censoring

like we get it, we don’t need 20000 replies saying the same thing!!!!!!!!

I write fuck 100x more then I say it... so that is cool with me if someone doesnt want to write it

I don't say it very often and it makes me very conscious of the fact that I am saying it when I do

Something somewhere has gone sideways. May I ask for an example of that which annoys you?

I don't like censored swear words and I want to censor them

I mean people could also stop word-policing themselves

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

If someone wants to respond with fuck* thats up to them as well

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Is cursing still a thing? I thought it was just a part of regular expression nowadays.

Stop response-policing us

You're FUCKING annoyed. Yes adults can swear. Even those who choose not to should reject language policing put in place by big corporations. Who police because they want more ad revenue. This post shows a level of cluelessness.

I have had it with these monkey-fighting swears on this Monday through Friday post!

What the fresh frelling hesmana is this?

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 day ago

For the sake of being doubly contrary, I'm going to say that it's perfectly acceptable to say "fork" because that is a euphemism that you could verbalise, but saying "f--k" is bad because it isn't. /s
