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.

Yeah, nah, OP is a sheet cant

I say the word louder in my head when someone tries to censor it.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

sure, but I'd still tell people they're allowed to say the word.

Using the word Fork instead of Fuck IS a result if policing. We just want to undo that

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

I don't care if someone wants to say fork, that's fine, and there aren't many people that have a problem with that, and if they do, they can't force you to say things differently anyway. At worst you get a post complaining

The real problem is the other way around; that major internet sites are word policing the crap out of everyone else to the point where you cannot even say words like "death". You have to say dumb shit like "unalive" and they do put real consequences to disobedience like being demonitized

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

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I sometimes use "censored" words because they're ducking hilarious

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

What are you talking about with free speech absolutists? I think you are trying to reach a different audience than Lemmy because I think most people here think that's stupid.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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.

It sounds shucking idiomic.

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